UOW Malaysia offers education programs at the Certificate, Diploma, Degree and Masters levels.
UOW Malaysia is part of the University of Wollongong Australia’s global network, but has a history of providing tertiary education to Malaysia, and the surrounding regions, as it was previously known as KDU college and university colleges.
UOW Global Enterprises, a wholly-owned subsidiary of University of Wollongong Australia, in September 2019 acquired the KDU institutions and following a process of transformation integrated them into the University of Wollongong Australia global network of campuses located in Australia, Dubai, Hong Kong, and now here in Malaysia.
The ceremony was officiated by the Minister of Higher Education, Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
In 2023, UOW Malaysia received university status from the Ministry of Higher Education.
