Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia

The third famous university in Top 15 Best Universities in Malaysia that Toplist wants to introduce to you is Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), also known as the National University of Malaysia, was founded in 1970 and has campuses in Bangi, Cheras, and Kuala Lumpur. Because of its reputation for high-quality research, it was named one of Malaysia's four research universities in 2006. UKM was founded on the aspirations of nationalists to preserve the Malay language as a language of knowledge.

UKM now has a number of faculties, as well as an established private limited holding company known as UKM Holdings, which handles all commercial activity related to the university. The Tun Seri Lanang Library at UKM is one of Malaysia's largest university libraries, housing over 2 million books, journals, e-books, and e-journals.

The university's primary areas of focus are energy-related, which include earth sciences and biotechnology. The university's research has aided the growth of several Malaysian industries, including engineering, architecture, and food science. UKM attracts students by offering a wide range of postgraduate programs, and because it is a public university, tuition is subsidized by the government.

In 2006, UKM received the Prime Minister's Quality Award, demonstrating the university's efforts to provide quality education and management. Oxford University Innovation has been assisting UKM with commercialisation structures and processes, as well as providing direct support to staff, through an established partnership arrangement since 2010. As a result, Oxford University has struck several lucrative licensing deals in the Malaysian market. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, the country's first astronaut, Datuk Razali Ibrahim, the former deputy prime minister, and singer Jess Lee are among the notable alumni.
