KDU Penang University College (KDU Penang UC) welcomed its first batch of students in 1991. Since then, the KDU Penang has grown by leaps and bounds. Now sitting proudly at Anson Road, KDU Penang UC is the most established and reputable private tertiary education provider in the northern region. It has international alumni from 60 countries around the world.

KDU Penang UC’s range of internationally recognized industry-driven academic programmes covers a wide level of offerings from Certificate to Diploma and Degree level programmes. All its programmes are accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency and are internationally affiliated with top universities around the globe such and Northumbria University from the United Kingdom and the IMI University Centre from Switzerland.

Before being conferred as a university college, KDU Penang was twice conferred an all-round 5-star College status by Ministry of Education (MOE)’s MyQuest Audit and boasts of state-of-the-art facilities which include industry-standard 5 star kitchens, a Recording Studio, Art Gallery and Design Studios, VLSI engineering labs, Games and Multimedia Computing Design Labs, Business Boardrooms and Lounge, Mock Hotel Suites and many more.

In 2015, KDU Penang received the prestigious 6-star, college-based rating in the 2014/2015 Malaysian MyQUEST for the large category. KDU College was the only private college in Penang – and the Northern region – to be awarded this eminent recognition.
All this accolades help ensure that every KDU student is well prepared to be gainfully employed upon graduation – an indisputable fact that has strengthened the institution’s impressive graduate employment ratio record.

Over a span of 23 years, our students continue to do us proud with a string of successes in various national and international competitions. In July 2013, KDU Penang was also awarded the Penang MPSP Green Industry Award for the SME Education and Awareness category.

Known as Malaysia’s Premier Island City Campus, it will also be enhancing its campus learning experience with a brand new ‘Green’ campus in the Batu Kawan area in Penang by 2018. For a real education in the real world – THINK QUALITY, THINK KDU.
