Malaysia’s global university sets the trend in innovative creative education
Established in 1991, the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology has since risen to become an innovative force in global creative education, one that is driving change in the way young people are educated and, in the process producing 21st century industry-ready world class graduates with the ability and skills to lead social and economic transformation across the globe.

Proportionately the Fastest Growing University in the World

The University’s international campus network now embraces 12 campuses in nine countries across three continents. This network includes Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Lesotho, Swaziland, Sierra Leone, Cambodia, Botswana and the United Kingdom.

We have around 30,000 students from over 150 different countries. At our parent campus in Cyberjaya, Kuala Lumpur, over 75% of the students are international – a reality that probably not one of the world’s leading universities could emulate. In essence the University has ‘Brought the World to Malaysia’.

This significant achievement was recognised by the Prime Minister of Malaysia Dato Sri Dr Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak, when on 12 May 2015 he designated the University as The Global University of Malaysia “for its outstanding achievement in establishing Malaysia as a leading player in the field of global education.” On the same day, the Prime Minister also conferred upon the University the title University of Edu Tourism in recognition of its achievement “in attracting youths as well as academic professionals from 200 countries to Malaysia.”

However, underpinning the phenomenal popularity of the University amongst international students is the recognition that our courses are innovative, stimulating and designed to better enable graduates to meet the challenges of the new economic world order.

Global Recognition – Numerous Awards and Accolades

Over the last four years, the University has received more than 200 awards for creativity and innovation in education from the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia and Africa.

Three in particular are worth mentioning. First, in 2009 we were awarded the designation of University of the Future by QS Apple (Asia Pacific Professional Leaders in Education). In April 2012, we were designated by the Ministry of Higher Education in Malaysia as a University of Innovation – a much sought after accolade. Third, in July 2013 when visiting our London campus, the Prime Minister of Malaysia awarded us with the designation of University of Transformation.

Inspirational Learning Ecosystem

All our campuses have a unique and distinctive ecosystem that is creativity oriented through every department and service facility. There is a liberating innovative freedom which is tangible and all pervasive on the campuses. Such an ecosystem inspires and stimulates creative thinking and aspirations amongst staff and students and nurtures exploration and experimentation.

Our students are encouraged to develop their talents in the hope of triggering their interest and passion in relevant fields of study. At Limkokwing, the ecosystem is the virtual classroom for students where they:

– Learn through regular interaction with industry
– Build digital skills
– Grow in confidence as they build their talent
– Become proficient in spoken and written English
– Get the opportunity to study at our other international campuses
– Develop creative thinking skills to become innovative in their approach
