The rise and rise of UKM


Being the first varsity to use Bahasa Malaysia as its medium of instruction, UKM has grown from strength to strength making it among the nation’s best.

The nation’s third oldest varsity with its focus on academic excellence and research, has every reason to celebrate its achievements over the last 44 years.

THE story of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia’s (UKM) history started in 1903 at the Rulers’ Conference when the idea was first mooted for a higher education institution with Bahasa Malaysia as the medium of instruction.
