GLOBAL NETWORKS

Through strategic collaborations with global partners and active participation in international networks, Universiti Malaya (UM) offers a wide range of enriching programmes in global education, research, and entrepreneurship. These initiatives provide students with invaluable cross-cultural experiences and a deep understanding of global issues, while offering distinct perspectives from the Asian context.
