Sunway University, Malaysia is wholly-owned by the non-profit Jeffrey Cheah Foundation, a first-of-its-kind structure for private education in Malaysia. We were awarded a rating of “Excellent” in the recent national Rating System for Institutions of Higher Learning (SETARA) audit conducted by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency. This places us within the leading group of Malaysian public and private universities. As part of our long-term development strategy, we have established a unique collaborative partnership with Lancaster University, a high-ranking, research-intensive British institution. Under this partnership arrangement, a strict academic quality assurance procedure ensures that the undergraduate degrees that Sunway develops and teaches are recognised and accredited by the Senate of Lancaster University. Our students thereby graduate with degree parchments from both institutions. 

Located on a substantially modern and purpose-built campus, Sunway University offers undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes.
