About UniKL Kuala Lumpur Campus (UniKL City Campus)

Universiti Kuala Lumpur Kuala Lumpur Campus, also known as the UniKL City Campus, is the central Kuala Lumpur campus and Chancellery of the Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) multi-campus network. The campus is situated right in the middle of the vibrant city of Kuala Lumpur, at the junction of Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Kelab Sultan Sulaiman.

The institutional positioning combines two distinctive functions:

The Chancellery function provides the institutional headquarters for the broader UniKL network. The Chancellery handles institutional governance, academic policy, faculty appointments, finance and administration, network-level student affairs, and the coordination across the 14 branch institutes spread across 12 campuses. The central KL location supports the institutional leadership engagement with MARA (the institutional owner), the Ministry of Higher Education, and the broader Malaysian institutional partner network.

The multi-institute campus function houses four branch institutes within the City Campus footprint, providing programme delivery across business, IT, international, and postgraduate research specialisms. The combination of headquarters and operational campus functions makes the City Campus distinctive within the broader UniKL network, where most other campuses operate as single-institute sites.

The Four Institutes at the City Campus

The City Campus houses four branch institutes:

UniKL Malaysian Institute of Information Technology (UniKL MIIT) is the IT specialist institute, providing programmes spanning Creative Multimedia, Animation, Information Systems, Cyber Security, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Network, and the broader information technology disciplines. UniKL MIIT operates 22 diploma and degree programmes from the City Campus.

UniKL Business School is the dedicated business academic institute, formerly known as Universiti Kuala Lumpur International School of Entrepreneurship (UniKL ISE). The Business School was established in 2008 and offers degree programmes in Business, Islamic Finance, Accounting, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Tourism, and Analytical Economics. The dedicated business school structure provides the City Campus with the business administration and finance content alongside the IT specialism at MIIT.

UniKL International College serves the international student community, providing the institutional support and programme delivery framework specifically aligned to the international student profile within the UniKL network.

Institute Research Postgraduate Studies handles the broader UniKL postgraduate research function, covering doctoral and research-track Master’s programmes across the institutional research areas. The Institute provides the central postgraduate research coordination across the broader UniKL network of branch institutes.

Programmes at UniKL City Campus

The City Campus programme portfolio reflects the four-institute structure:

Business and Finance programmes at UniKL Business School include Business, Islamic Finance, Accounting, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Tourism, and Analytical Economics at degree level. The Islamic Finance specialisation is particularly distinctive given Malaysia’s substantial Islamic finance sector and the broader Malaysian global Islamic banking leadership position.

IT programmes at UniKL MIIT cover the contemporary IT specialisms with 22 diploma and degree programmes spanning Creative Multimedia, Animation, Information Systems, Cyber Security, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Computer Network.

International programmes at UniKL International College serve the international student community across the broader UniKL programme range.

Postgraduate research programmes at the Institute Research Postgraduate Studies provide doctoral and research-track Master’s pathways across the UniKL research areas.

The broader UniKL network offers more than 139 programmes total across all 14 branch institutes and 12 campuses, ranging from foundation studies up to PhD levels.

UniKL City Campus fees follow the broader UniKL fee framework, with specific institute-level variation reflecting the programme content and resource requirements at each of the four institutes. Specific 2026 fee figures should be requested directly from the relevant institute admissions office.
