ISKANDAR PUTERI: In just five years since its establishment in Iskandar Malaysia, the University of Reading Malaysia (UoRM) in EduCity has already made its mark as one of the top universities in the region.

UoRM provost and chief executive officer Prof Wing Lam said the university, which inherited over 150 years of quality British higher education from the University of Reading in the United Kingdom, focuses not just on academic excellence but also on developing essential life skills that allowed students to thrive in the job market.
