Sunway University is one of the leading private universities in Malaysia committed to providing quality and comprehensive education to everyone, regardless of race, creed or financial background. By promoting core values such as Integrity, Humility and Excellence, the university supports the discovery, development, dissemination and application of knowledge that meets the needs of society and the global community. This values-based educational approach guides their actions and behavior, and encourages the campus community to develop a sustainable mindset by prioritizing ecological awareness, systems perspective, and emotional intelligence.
As part of the Sunway Education Group and owned by the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation – Malaysia’s largest social institution focused on education – Sunway University ensures that the operational surplus generated is reused for scholarships, research funds, and the development of facilities and faculty to continue to ensure quality education for future generations.
Sunway City stands as a prime example of the global “fifteen-minute city” concept, where everything is within a 15-minute walk. Just steps away from the campus, connected by the canopy walk, are iconic destinations such as the Sunway Lagoon Theme Park, Sunway Pyramid Mall (one of the largest in the region), and the Sunway Medical Centre, one of Southeast Asia’s largest and most advanced private hospitals offering world-class healthcare.
Easily accessible via the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) and the green canopy walkways throughout Sunway City, the university invites visitors and prospective students to explore its vibrant campus. Numerous public events, including distinguished lectures, exhibitions, and music performances (many free of charge), are hosted regularly. The university’s main library is also open to the public through a simple application process.
