UOW Malaysia KDU Penang University College began its chapter when it opened its door to its first batch of students in 1991. Since then, the UOW Malaysia KDU Penang University College has grown by leaps and bounds. Now sitting proudly at Jalan Anson, UOW Malaysia KDU Penang University College is the most popular private tertiary education provider in the northern region. It has international alumni from 60 countries around the world. In 2015, UOW Malaysia KDU Penang received the prestigious 6-star, college-based rating in the 2014/2015 Malaysian MyQUEST for the large category. UOW Malaysia KDU Penang University College was the only private college in Penang – and the Northern region – to be awarded this eminent recognition. Over a span of 25 years, our students continue to do us proud with a string of successes in various national and international competitions. In July 2013, UOW Malaysia KDU Penang was also awarded the Penang MPSP Green Industry Award for the SME Education and Awareness category. In November 2018, KDU entered into a strategic partnership with UOW Global Enterprises, a wholly-owned subsidiary of University of Wollongong Australia. Subsequently, in November 2019, the name of the college and university colleges were changed to reflect the stewardship of the University of Wollongong and they are now known as UOW Malaysia KDU.
