University Malaysia of Computer Science and Engineering (UNIMY)

About University Malaysia of Computer Science & Engineering (UNIMY)

University Malaysia of Computer Science & Engineering (UNIMY) is an ICT-specialist private university with main campus at UNIMY Cyberjaya, Selangor. The institution was established in 2012 as an ICT-focused private university, with the founding ownership context being Serba Dinamik Group Berhad. In 2023, UNIMY became part of the BAC Education Group, joining the broader Malaysian private education network.

The institutional positioning rests on the specialist focus on eight critical digital technology areas: Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Machine, Cybersecurity, Human-Machine Interaction, IoE (Internet of Everything), Coding Development and Operations, Business Technology, and Extended Reality (XR, encompassing AR, VR, and MR). The eight-area framework reflects the contemporary digital economy demand structure and provides the academic content alignment for UNIMY graduates entering the Malaysian and regional ICT industry.

The Cyberjaya campus location places UNIMY within Malaysia’s principal digital corridor, with proximity to the dense concentration of technology companies, research institutions, and government digital agencies operating in the township. The geographic positioning supports industry partnership opportunities, internship placement, and graduate employment routing within the Cyberjaya ICT cluster.

Location of UNIMY at Cyberjaya

UNIMY’s main campus is located at UNIMY Cyberjaya, Selangor. Cyberjaya is Malaysia’s principal digital corridor, established as a planned digital and technology township alongside the broader Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC Malaysia) initiative launched in the 1990s. The township houses substantial concentrations of technology multinationals, Malaysian ICT companies, research institutions including MIMOS Berhad and the Cyberjaya University ecosystem, and government digital agencies including the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and Cyber Security Malaysia.

Road access uses the LDP Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong, the SKVE Selangor-Klang Valley Expressway, the ELITE Expressway, and the broader Klang Valley road network. Public transport access uses the MRT Putrajaya Line, which stops at Cyberjaya providing direct rapid transit connectivity from central Kuala Lumpur. The campus is approximately 30 kilometres south of central Kuala Lumpur and approximately 20 kilometres from KLIA in Sepang.

The Cyberjaya cluster gives UNIMY students reach into the principal Malaysian ICT employment market through the township’s resident technology companies and through the broader Klang Valley corporate ICT sector accessible via the road and rapid transit network.

The Eight Digital Technology Areas

UNIMY’s programme portfolio is specifically designed around eight critical digital technology areas that reflect the contemporary digital economy:

Cloud Computing addresses cloud infrastructure (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, the broader cloud ecosystem), cloud services architecture, cloud-native software development, and the migration of enterprise IT to cloud platforms.

Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Machine covers machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, natural language processing, computer vision, and the broader AI applications across industries.

Cybersecurity addresses information security, network security, application security, security operations, threat intelligence, and the broader cybersecurity workforce demand.

Human-Machine Interaction covers user experience (UX) design, human-computer interaction (HCI), interaction design, and the broader user-facing technology design disciplines.

IoE (Internet of Everything) covers IoT (Internet of Things), connected devices, sensor networks, and the broader networked systems ecosystem that connects physical objects to the digital infrastructure.

Coding Development and Operations (DevOps) covers software engineering, DevOps practices, the software development lifecycle, version control, continuous integration and deployment, and the broader software engineering profession.

Business Technology addresses the integration of business strategy with technology, covering enterprise architecture, technology consulting, and the strategic application of digital technology to business operations.

Extended Reality (XR) encompasses Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) technologies and applications across gaming, training, simulation, healthcare, and industrial use cases.

The eight-area framework provides UNIMY students with curriculum content aligned to the contemporary employment market demand structure. The specialism focus differentiates UNIMY from the broader Malaysian private university market, where most institutions operate generalist ICT programme portfolios rather than the concentrated digital technology specialism that UNIMY provides.

Programmes at UNIMY

UNIMY offers programmes across pre-university, undergraduate, and postgraduate levels in the Engineering, Information Technology, and Computer Science fields:

• Foundation in Science as the principal pre-university pathway for ICT-bound students.
• Diploma programmes in computing and engineering specialisms.
• Bachelor programmes across the eight digital technology areas, including specialist Bachelor programmes in Cloud Computing, AI, Cybersecurity, and the other identified specialisms.
• Postgraduate programmes at Master and where applicable PhD levels for working professionals in the ICT sector.

The MQA-accredited programme list at any given time is published on the Malaysian Qualifications Agency public register under the institutional entry.

The 2023 BAC Education Group Affiliation

UNIMY’s 2023 transition to the BAC Education Group marked a significant institutional development. The BAC Education Group is anchored by Brickfields Asia College (BAC), one of Malaysia’s principal legal education providers, with the group structure also including Veritas University College, IACT College, Reliance College, and connected institutional operations.

The BAC Education Group affiliation provides UNIMY with shared institutional support across the group network, including faculty resources, student services, marketing reach, and the broader cross-institutional collaboration opportunities. The group structure preserves UNIMY’s distinctive ICT specialism while providing the broader institutional support that comes with membership in a larger education network.

The pre-2023 ownership context was Serba Dinamik Group Berhad, which provided the original institutional founding capital and the engineering industry orientation. The 2023 transition reflects the broader Malaysian private education sector consolidation, with established education groups acquiring or partnering with specialist institutions to expand their network reach.

Fees, Admissions, and Accreditation

UNIMY’s fee positioning typically falls in the mid-tier range of the Malaysian private higher education market. Specific 2026 fee figures should be requested directly from the institutional admissions office at unimy.edu.my.

Entry to Foundation programmes requires SPM, O-Level, or equivalent qualifications with the relevant science subject passes for ICT-bound study. Entry to Bachelor programmes requires STPM, A-Level, an accepted Foundation programme, a Diploma in a relevant field, or equivalent. Entry to postgraduate programmes requires the appropriate prior qualification.

International applicants should plan for the Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS) student visa pass.

UNIMY operates under Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education registration corresponding to its full university status. The institution is listed on the Malaysian Qualifications Agency public register, with individual programmes carrying their own MQA accreditation references.
