About
The University of Malaya-Wales (abbreviated as UM-Wales; Malay: Universiti Malaya-Wales, Welsh: Prifysgol Malaya Gymru) is a private university based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was founded in 2013 as the International University of Malaya-Wales (IUMW), and is a partnership between the University of Malaya (UM) and the University of Wales. It was renamed to the University of Malaya-Wales on 7 March 2024.
UM-Wales offers both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, and solicits both local Malaysian and international students. UM-Wales students are able to opt for dual programs of study whereby graduates of such dual programmes receive a degree from both UM-Wales and the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD).
UM-Wales students are allowed to participate in student exchange programmes which give them the opportunity to study at UWTSD. UM-Wales students also have access to the University of Malaya main campus facilities and library resources at no cost.
The UM-Wales campus is located on land leased from Central Bank of Malaysia (BNM) that it acquired in 2017.
