MULTIMEDIA UNIVERSITY

ABOUT MULTIMEDIA UNIVERSITY

Multimedia University (MMU) is the first private university in Malaysia. Established in 1996, MMU marked Malaysia’s foray into a
new economy. In this new economy, knowledge, communication, and intangibles become as important, if not more, than
traditional manufacturing processes and physical assets of the old economy. MMU was set up by Telekom Malaysia Berhad to
provide qualified human capital for this new economy, and was officially launched by the fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia,
Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamed on 9th July 1999.

Now in its 14th year, MMU is an institution that is highly regarded for its innovative approaches to education, as well as for its
exceptional emphasis on knowledge creation and management via R&D. Currently, MMU is offering courses in the areas of
Creative Multimedia, Engineering, Information Technology, Management, Law, Accounting, Business
Studies, Economics, Finance, and Bio-Medical Sciences.

MMU is one of the first universities in Malaysia to offer undergraduate courses in Nanotechnology, which is set to
revolutionise the manufacturing and processing industries. As our graduates have demonstrated, MMU is also
particularly strong in developing creative content experts.

Currently, MMU has a population exceeding 20,000 students, 4,400 of which come from 73 countries. Furthermore, 22,840
graduates have been produced from MMU’s 10 convocations, and recent studies show that 96% of MMU
graduates secure employment within six months of completing their studies. MMU is the only private Malaysian
university included among the top 200 Asian universities, and is effectively ranked sixth in the country. It has two
campuses, one in Cyberjaya, and the other in Melaka. They share equal standing, as they are equally important.

THE TWO CAMPUSES

While there are some similarities between the courses offered in Cyberjaya and those in Melaka, the campuses differ in de-
grees of specialisation. Cyberjaya graduates are especially mobile when it comes to career options, whereas Melaka graduates
will be especially suited to specialised industries.

Melaka Campus: 1,484 | Cyberjaya Campus: 3,027

Overall: 22, 452 students

 HEY YOU!
Thought your last exam was tough? Well, we have bad news, and we have good news.

Bad news: It’s going to get tougher. How much tougher? Well, some of your friends won’t make it.

Good news: Here are 5 things to help you choose a university. Why is this good?

A university satisfying all five criteria should help you build a satisfying career. Or at least get you out of your parents’ house and
be your own person FASTER.

So, your university of choice should:

1. Make prospective employers fall over themselves to hire you (Boost your employability).
2. Provide courses that are up to date, that leave out things no longer applicable, and show you how to apply the field using
ICT skills (Industry-driven, ICT-enabled courses).
3. Help give you strong technical skills. Our lecturers are known for camping out with their students to help them win
competitions (Devoted lecturers honing technical skills).
4. Equip you with the soft skills ALL employers look for: interpersonal, group work, communication, etc. (Soft skills)
5. Give you recognition (Wide recognition).

Is there such a university? You bet! Proof?

Because Multimedia University (MMU) students have very strong technical skills – thanks to their industry-driven, ICT enabled
courses that are accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency – combined with the soft skills they’ve develop during their
studies, our studies show that for every 100 MMU graduates, more than 90 have managed to secure jobs within six months of
completing their studies. Our graduates get great jobs locally and abroad, and some even pursued their postgraduate degrees
in institutions like Harvard or Cambridge.
