Sunway University Sdn Bhd

Sunway University is a private higher education institution operating in the tertiary education sector, offering undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs, professional education and applied research across disciplines such as business, arts and sciences, health sciences and hospitality. It serves domestic and international students, as well as industry partners seeking workforce upskilling, and positions its offerings around industry-relevant curricula and applied research rather than purely academic instruction. Founded from Sunway College established in 1987, Sunway University is headquartered in Bandar Sunway, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia, and operates primarily within Malaysia while drawing regional and international students and collaborators. It is part of the Sunway Education Group and comes under the governance of the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation following the founder’s transfer of ownership to the foundation in 2010. As a major private university in Malaysia, it serves several thousand students and maintains a visible presence in national and regional higher‑education rankings and quality-assurance frameworks. Distinguishing characteristics include strong industry linkages, a campus integrated into the Sunway City township, and a focus on employability and applied research. The institution continues to expand its research centers, industry partnerships and international collaborations and leverages foundation support and group resources to fund scholarships, campus development and academic programs.
