About Kolej MDIS Malaysia
The opportunity of experiencing transnational education
In September 2013, Kolej MDIS Malaysia became the second overseas campus of the Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS). The groundbreaking ceremony in September 2013 was officiated by YAB Tan Sri Dato Hj. Muhyiddin bin Hj. Mohd Yassin, the then Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education of Malaysia.
Kolej MDIS Malaysia is the first private tertiary institution of Singapore to make its foray into EduCity Iskandar Puteri Malaysia when MDIS signed the landmark deal with EduCity Iskandar Malaysia Sdn Bhd making it the first major commitment made by a Singapore private education group in the Iskandar special economic zone.
The RM300 million project is being carried out in three phases: the first will allow the campus to cater to some 2,000 students, with the goal to cater to over 10,000 students upon completion of its third phase.
Designed with the state-of-the-art infrastructure incorporating campus-wide WiFi connectivity, fully-equipped computer laboratories and lecture theatres, the campus also embraces eco-friendly initiatives. As much as 40 per cent of the 30.07 acres of land has been allocated to incorporate eco-friendly features such as solar panels, rainwater harvesting tanks and glare shields. Consequently, water and electrical usage savings will be maximised.
Kolej MDIS Malaysia offers courses in Business, Finance, Banking and Accounting, Tourism and Hospitality, Mass Communication, Information Technology and Digital Media. All courses have already received accreditation from the Malaysian Qualifications Agency.
Students of the various MDIS campuses from Singapore, Uzbekistan, Malaysia and Tajikistan will have the opportunity of experiencing transnational education. With the increasing globalisation of economies, this will give students a comprehensive global perspective.
With the completion of the new campus at EduCity in December 2020, Kolej MDIS Malaysia is now one of the important landmarks in EduCity at Iskandar Puteri.
