Highlights
Why UCSI?
Four subjects in the world's top fifty
In the QS subject rankings for 2026, four subjects placed in the world's top fifty: music (24th), performing arts (24th), art and design (29th) and hospitality and leisure management (47th) — the most of any Malaysian university.
A genuine conservatoire
Few universities in the region have a music and performing arts school at this level. If that is your field, this is one of very few serious destinations in Southeast Asia.
In the world's top one per cent
269th in the QS World University Rankings 2026 — the fourth consecutive year inside the top one per cent of the world's universities.
Campuses inside Malaysia and beyond
The main campus is in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, with campuses at Kuching in Sarawak and Springhill in Seremban, and an overseas campus in Bangladesh.
