Sunway University: The Global Gateway for a Bright Global Future
The Sunway campus hosts students from 102 countries, making our campus truly a hub for cross-cultural experience. The cultural confluence at Sunway creates a rich, diverse, and vibrant campus and learning environment for our students. At Sunway University, international students pay the same tuition fees as Malaysian students. The Sunway International Student Ambassadors serve our new and existing international students in adapting to Malaysian culture and campus life by organising various social activities and promoting the 'Home Away From Home' concept. At Sunway University, our students can participate in more than one hundred student clubs and societies to hone their leadership skills, make new friends and holistically develop their competencies. Sunway University’s University global outlook extends beyond cultural representation and integration. In a post-normal world that is characterised by chaos, complexity, and contradictions, we believe that a University Education must focus on 1) Ensuring Graduate Employability, 2) Inculcating the Right Values & Mindset, and 3) Promoting Global Competitiveness and Collectiveness to ensure students at Sunway University are Future Proof.
Partnerships with the Best
At Sunway University, our students have the opportunity to enrol in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes that are recognised, validated, and co-delivered by international institutions of high repute. The investment in state-of-the-art campus facilities, adoption of high-quality content and curriculum, as well as the enhanced academic resources, innovative teaching methodologies, and international networks, ensure that our students gain a global outlook that prepares them to succeed anywhere around the world. Our world-class Masters and PhD programmes engage our postgraduate students to address locally impactful and globally relevant research collaborations with top institutions such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard, Oxford, and Cambridge, with which Sunway has forged long-standing partnerships.
Global Recognition and Experience
Two-thirds of our students are currently enrolled in Lancaster University-validated programmes that ensure that when students successfully complete their course of study, they graduate with both a Sunway University and Lancaster University degree. At the School of American Education, our partnership with the No. 1 ranked institution for innovation in the United States of America, Arizona State University, enables students to graduate with both Sunway University and Arizona State University degrees as well as seamlessly transfer to Phoenix and a range of world-class universities around the world. At the School of Hospitality and Service Management, many of our graduates are awarded two certificates: one from Sunway University and another from Le Cordon Bleu, a leading global institution in culinary and hospitality education. We also partner with a myriad of other institutions across the globe to provide our students with study-abroad and short-course opportunities.
Best in Graduate Employability
Besides the world-class education experience they get in their programme of study, our students are also provided with a wide variety of support, resources, and guidance by our experienced Sunway Career Services team to prepare them to be job-ready. Sunway University is part of the Sunway Group, one of Southeast Asia’s leading conglomerates. Thus, our students are exposed to a culture of industry-demand and stakeholder-focused ecosystem. Students are provided guidance from Year 1 to help them navigate their different career pathways and how to become highly sought after by employers. Many of our graduates progress from a Sunway University education to high-flying careers in leading institutions around the world, such as Pricewater House Coopers (PwC), Ernst & Young (EY), Astra Zeneca, Glaxosmith Kline (GSK), HSBC, DHL. Thus, it is no surprise that Sunway graduates have been voted the top university in Malaysia for graduate employability three years in a row.
Future-proofing Our Planet
We believe that in nurturing the future leaders of our world, we need to focus on inculcating the right values and mindset that extend beyond securing good employment. At Sunway, we aspire that all our students and graduates are conscious of the environment and the inequities that exist in the world. We believe that our students must recognise their social responsibilities and be mindful of how the choices they make as individuals or for their future employers can shape the health of the planet and the trajectory of humanity. All undergraduate students, independent of their programme study, will enrol in courses on entrepreneurship, integrity and sustainability, and community service for planetary health. At Sunway University, we take pride in being a Campus with a Conscience and embracing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which are embedded in our curriculum and the fabric of our on-campus community.
