Profile

 

 

 
 

KBU International College (KBU) is a private higher education institution established in 1990 by the First Nationwide Group, owner and developer of the 1000 acres fully integrated township of Bandar Utama. KBU has a purpose-designed campus with up-to-date equipment and recreational facilities, all located on a 13-acre site within Bandar Utama. Students at KBU will therefore experience and benefit from a very conducive campus environment for study and obtain a holistic education.

The main objective of KBU is to provide higher education opportunities to young Malaysians and foreign nationals in a wide range of academic and professional fields such as Engineering, Computing/IT/Multimedia, Hospitality & Tourism, Business and Art & Design. Quality education is the hallmark of KBU with the intended outcome of producing highly employable graduates in a knowledge-based economy.

In line with KBU's mission of providing Quality Education and achieving a high level of employability of its graduates, the College collaborates with, and franchises honours degree programmes from well-established universities in the United Kingdom, Australia and Germany as well as professional bodies and established examination bodies. Most of the UK degree programmes are conducted under the 3+0 mode and this makes all the programmes to be even more attractive and affordable.

Quality education at KBU is further underpinned by the college's compliance with the requirements of the Lembaga Akreditasi Negara (LAN) or National Accreditation Board (NAB) and the constant monitoring carried out by the College's very own Quality Assurance Department and KBU's foreign university partners.
