About us
Under the Going Global Partnerships Programme, the British Council in Malaysia is launching the UK-Malaysia University Consortium which is designed to be a flagship initiative that promotes strategic engagement and bilateral cooperation in higher education between its partner universities in the UK and in Malaysia.
Through cooperation between the British Council and the Department of Higher Education Malaysia, the Consortium will lay a foundation for creating long term collaborations, shared priorities and complementary expertise between the UK and Malaysia in Higher Education (HE). This is aligned with the Malaysian Higher Education Blueprint 2015-2025 and the UK International Education Strategy.
The Consortium will also reinforce the global perceptions of both countries as centres of higher education excellence, and enable the HE sectors in the UK and Malaysia to contribute shared resources and expertise to overcome some of the world’s major issues. By strengthening the standing of both countries as international education pioneers, the UK and Malaysia will be poised to attract top academic talent in the future.
