Perdana University (PU), is an emerging private university located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia focusing on health science and data science programmes at foundation (pre-university), undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Perdana University was officially incorporated in 2011. In 2017, Perdana University was awarded Tier 4: Very Good in the Rating System for Malaysian Higher Education 2017 (SETARA) from the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia (MOHE).[1]

The University took in its very first students in 2011 with the opening of the PU-RCSI School of Medicine and Graduate School of Medicine. At present, the University consists of 6 Schools and 2 Centres.[2] The School of Business is the latest school formed recently.

The main campus of PU located in MAEPS, Serdang, Selangor has been relocated to Wisma Chase Perdana, Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur in 2020 when MAEPS was used a COVID-19 pandemic hospital.[3]

Ownership

Perdana University is a wholly owned subsidiary of Academic Medical Centre Sdn Bhd (AMC).

History

The opening of Perdana University and the medical programme was officiated by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato' Seri Najib Razak while the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad was appointed as its Founding Chancellor.[2] Dato' Pahlawan Dr. R. Mohana Dass served as the founding Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive of the Perdana University.[4]

The University previously operated from an interim campus in the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS). The University has since then been relocated to Wisma Chase Perdana, Damansara Heights in 2020.
