Where you will learn

Malaysia campus.

Semenyih Campus is 48km from Kuala Lumpur International Airport and just 45 minutes’ drive from the famous city centre with its iconic Petronas Twin Towers. On arrival, you are immersed in the green jungle backdrop that Malaysia provides with wildlife, sunshine and campus lake.

The campus is home to our business, education, science and engineering schools, which sit alongside a sports centre, library and student accommodation. The University has everything a modern day student could wish for with the added bonus of being located in central Asia allowing you to travel further afield in your free time.

Public transport is plentiful with free shuttle services operating on some routes. Taxi/Grab services in Malaysia are very reasonable and used widely by the student community.

The University’s Career Advisory Services (CAS) support students with the necessary skills and career opportunities using its strong relationship with various employers and industries. The CAS will provide students with essential resources and guidance for career choices offering many opportunities to develop the skills needed to plan and manage your future. Our Careers Advisory Service will work with you to improve and maximise your employability skills as well as providing essential resources and guidance that will assist you with job/course applications. They will facilitate searches for appropriate work experience placements and connect you to a wide range of prospective employers and training opportunities.

PhD degrees are in most cases recognized as the capstone of tertiary education. Those who attain these degrees have undergone extensive and personalized supervision in writing a dissertation. In the study of International Relations, Comparative Politics, Development, and History, preparation of the dissertation often involves in-country fieldwork and advanced modes of data collection. The result is an extended piece of original research and hence, a fresh contribution to one’s chosen field of study. This gains the student a special kind of recognition, thus bolstering their prospects in particular career tracks that emphasize research, advanced analysis, and theory building, possibly leading to publication. In Political Science and History, such pathways generally lead to academic careers, but also to high-level positions in government, international institutions, think tanks, and civil society organizations.
