About Sunway
One of the top private colleges in Malaysia that is devoted to providing high-quality instruction, encouraging entrepreneurship, and conducting research on pressing global issues.
The University is located in Sunway City, a booming green resort community in the Klang Valley on the western side of Kuala Lumpur that was constructed on reclaimed former tin mining ground. Despite being relatively new by worldwide standards, the university is already ranked in the top 2% of all universities. Sunway University is listed among the top 150 universities in the world under 50 years old and is placed 122st in the QS Asia University Rankings 2023.
Safe pathways at tree top level (the “canopy walk”) connect their cutting-edge modern campus to a variety of social and community services, providing a distinctive sustainable study, work, and social environment for our students and staff on campus and throughout Sunway City.
Sunway City is a shining example of the emerging trend of sustainable “15 minute communities,” which are hyperconnected and have all amenities within walking distance of each other. The Sunway Lagoon Theme Park, the Sunway Pyramid Mall, one of the biggest in the nation and the region, and the Sunway Medical Centre, one of the biggest and best-equipped private hospitals in Southeast Asia providing top-notch medical care, are all nearby the campus and connected by a canopy walkway.
The University was given a 5 star overall grade of “excellent” by the Malaysian government (in the most recent Setara evaluation exercise), and it is one of just 11 Malaysian institutions to have received the prestigious title of “Premier Digital Technology University. The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, as well as Harvard University, are just a few of the prestigious institutions with whom they have formed close relationships.
Through their Jeffrey Cheah Distinguished Speakers series of public lectures, several academics from the latter institution have honorary visiting posts and occasionally give talks to our university and the larger Sunway City community. They bear the names of Tan Sri Jeffrey Cheah, who founded Sunway City and the university as well as Sunway Group, one of the largest industrial conglomerates in Malaysia and the developer of Sunway City. Tan Sri Cheah is also the chairman of Sunway Group.
