About Kings University College

Kings University College (KINGS) is a private university college located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, with a 25-year operating history and more than 17,000 alumni. The institution was established in 2000 as Kolej Bandar and operated under that name through several years of growth before achieving university college status with the corresponding rebrand to Kings University College.

The institutional positioning combines the central Kuala Lumpur location advantage with a programme portfolio that addresses contemporary Malaysian and regional employment market demand. The campus sits adjacent to the Sheraton Imperial Hotel Kuala Lumpur in the central KL commercial district, providing students with direct walking-distance access to the KL business district and the broader central KL corporate sector.

The 25-year operating history places Kings among the heritage cohort of Malaysian private higher education institutions established at the turn of the millennium, alongside other institutions established in the 1998-2002 founding wave. The 17,000-plus alumni base provides Kings with a substantial graduate network across the Malaysian business, hospitality, and applied technology sectors.
