The University of Malaya has taken proactive measures to make her mark at the international level. Over the last decade there has been restructuring of the university management, implementation of a quality management system, upgrading and expansion of infrastructure, and enhancement of teaching and research. These improvements, coupled with keen promotion activities held locally as well as internationally have contributed to the increase in the number of international students in UM by 200% from 2000 to 2005. Strong support and directives from the Malaysian government ensure that UM continues to be thrusted forward, in the ministerial effort to transform Malaysian education into a global trademark.
