About Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) is one of the country's leading public research universities, best known worldwide for its strength in engineering, science and technology. Tracing its roots back to a technical school founded in 1904 and formally established as a university in 1972, UTM has grown into a research-intensive institution that consistently ranks among Malaysia's very best public universities.
UTM operates two main campuses. The sprawling 1,200-hectare main campus sits in Skudai, Johor Bahru, in the south of Peninsular Malaysia, offering a green, self-contained student town with laboratories, residential colleges and sports facilities. Its International Campus in the heart of Kuala Lumpur places postgraduate and professional students right in Malaysia's capital, close to industry and the city's business district.
For Bangladeshi students, UTM offers a rare combination: the affordable tuition of a government-funded public university, a globally respected reputation in engineering and technology, and a research culture that attracts international students and faculty from around the world. Degrees are delivered in English and are recognised by Malaysia's Ministry of Higher Education and the MQA.
