Open University of Malaysia

Established in 2000, OUM is the country’s seventh private university and the only one owned by a consortium of Malaysia’s first 11 public universities, known as Multimedia Technology Enhancement Operations Sdn Bhd (METEOR).

This gives us the unique advantage of harnessing the prestige and expertise of our stakeholders. For learners, this means we have the resources to make our programmes the best they can be, with input and contribution from experts throughout the country.

OUM strives to be the university of choice for anyone looking for affordable part-time studies, especially working adults. With 22 years of experience in ODL, we offer a learner-friendly, flexible and accessible approach to ensure that anyone can study anytime and anywhere, not just within Malaysia but also across the globe.

Quality matters a lot to us. Our programmes are career-relevant,  accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency, and recognised by various professional bodies. This does not mean the enrolment process is difficult; even if you think you don’t qualify, APEL can open the door for you. If you want to give our learning materials a try first, head on to OER OUM and choose a topic of interest to you.

Also, have you ever thought about how you can become a better version of yourself? You may find that an abilities-based approach will help you maximise your professional and personal potential. Take a look at our massive open online courses (MOOCs) and find out how you can explore and apply your strengths and experiences through programmes specially designed to improve productivity and fill knowledge gaps.
