UCSI University is a private university in Malaysia. The university is accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC), the Malaysian Nursing Board (MNB), and several other professional bodies.

It's ranked 265th university in the world. Currently, all UCSI University's programmes have received a 100% employability score from the Malaysian Higher Education Ministry's Graduate Employability 2021-2022 survey, making its graduates highly employable in the job market.

UCSI University provides academic programs at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. These include programs in business, engineering, architecture, medicine, pharmacy, nursing, tourism, applied science, music, and social science.

Aligning to Malaysia’s national aspiration through the National Principles or Rukun Negara coined in August 1970, the university attributes its commitment and achievement in fulfilling these four principles to its founding pillar, “Glory to God”. The university also pledges to align the implementation of these principles to UN Global Goal’s theme, “Leave No One Behind”, fitting to one of its core values, “Compassion” represented by the letter “C” in its acronym “UCSI” (Universalism, Compassion, Sustainability and Integrity).

These principles are to be lived out and strategically implemented corporately by all staff and students consistent to UCSI Group’s sustainability theme, “Together we shape the future”.

History

UCSI was founded in 1986 by Dato' Peter Ng as a computer-training institute in Petaling Jaya. It soon relocated to new premises in Kuala Lumpur to cater to growing student numbers and more academic programmes were offered. UCSI was accorded college status in 1990 by the Ministry of Education (Malaysia), marking its transition to Sedaya College, later known as Sedaya International College. In 2003, it attained university college status and was renamed University College Sedaya International (UCSI). By 2008, UCSI achieved full university status, becoming Malaysia's second private university.

UCSI University operates across four campuses: the Kuala Lumpur Campus, Sarawak Campus, Springhill Campus, and its most recent addition, the Bangladesh Branch Campus.

UCSI College serves as a sister institution, further complementing the university's educational offerings.

The university is commonly referred to as "Sedaya."
