About Sunway College

“Success is a journey, not a destination”. This saying is undeniably true of Sunway’s successful journey as an education provider which has come full-circle recently with the momentous culmination of the Sunway College, which began in the 1980s, as the Sunway University of the 21st century.

Our story began in 1987, when Sunway College was established by its Founder, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Dr Jeffrey Cheah, AO. Within a short span of time, Sunway became a popular household name as a private higher education institution in Malaysia. Being one of the pioneers of the twinning and credit transfer programmes, Sunway offered many Malaysian and international students the opportunity of obtaining well recognised qualifications of foreign universities from the UK, Australia and the USA through studying at Sunway in Malaysia. As a result of its quality provision and track record of good academic results, Sunway College was upgraded to Sunway University College in 2004.

In 2009, Sunway University College was one of very few private higher education institutions in Malaysia to be rated ‘Excellent’ in the first ever quality rating system in Malaysia – the ‘SETARA’ by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA). With its excellent rating, quality delivery of teaching and learning and significant contribution towards developing the nation’s workforce, Sunway University College became Sunway University in January 2011 – a well respected name in private higher education in Southeast Asia.

Our story, which began with the Sunway College in the 1980s, continues with the Sunway College of the 21st century with its flag-ship offerings of internationally recognised pre-university and professional accounting programmes as well as undergraduate twinning degree and MBA programmes with a well recognised Australian university.
