University of Malaya
It began as the King Edward VII College of Medicine in Singapore on September 28, 1905, and became the University of Malaya on October 8, 1949, when the King Edward VII College of Medicine and Raffles College merged (founded in 1928). As Malaysia’s top research university, UM will expand its research activities, collaborations, partnerships, and engagements with other institutions and industries both locally and internationally in order to share and capitalize on its researchers’ cutting-edge research.
