City Academy Malaysia

City Academy Malaysia is a private university located in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

The university was founded in 1996 as a small, private college offering a limited range of programs, catering to students seeking alternatives to public universities. At the time, the Malaysian higher education landscape was dominated by public universities, and there was a growing demand for private institutions to provide options for students. In its early years, the college focused on providing affordable and accessible education to students from all backgrounds, fostering an inclusive environment. It offered a variety of programs, including business administration, computer science, and engineering, and the college's small size allowed for a more personalized and supportive learning experience.

As the college grew in popularity, it expanded its offerings and facilities, responding to the needs of a larger student body. In 2003, it was granted university status and renamed Universiti Tun Abdul Razak, enabling the institution to offer a wider range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs and engage in research and community service. Over the years, the university has continued to evolve and adapt to the changing needs of students and the wider society, prioritizing real-world relevance. It has formed partnerships with industry leaders to provide students with practical experience and job opportunities while investing in state-of-the-art facilities and technology to enhance the learning experience.

Today, the university is a leading private institution in Malaysia, recognized for its diverse programs and commitment to academic excellence. It is known for its innovative teaching methods, focus on research, and strong ties to the business community, and looking forward, it aims to further strengthen its global partnerships and enhance its research capabilities.
