The Limkokwing University of Creative Technology has been a trailblazer for Malaysian Education. From a small beginning, it has grown from strength to strength to become what it is today; a truly internationally recognizable Malaysian brand name that has educated students from 100 countries. It is therefore unsurprising that Limkokwing University will become the first Malaysian institution of higher learning to open a branch campus in London. Not only is it a coup for the University, but a sign of the confidence that the world has in Malaysian education. I’m excited at the merging of the best and brightest from the East and West. It is my hope that such an exchange will produce a burst of creativity and innovation that will illuminate our future. I also hope that this cross-pollination will give rise to greater understanding and empathy between cultures and civilizations – qualities that are sorely needed in today’s world. Many congratulations on the opening of the Limkokwing London Campus. His Excellency Tun Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi Former Prime Minister of Malaysia

The establishment of a Malaysian institution of higher learning, in the heart of London, is an outstanding accomplishment that testifies to the rising standards of Malaysian education. I applaud this achievement by the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology. This certainly raises the benchmark of Malaysian education to a higher level, one that is able to compete with the best of the world. I fully subscribe to the university’s philosophy of merging the best of East and West in the belief that it will help to create a new generation of global graduates, skilled, knowledgeable and culture-sensitive, that will work towards the creation of a more peaceful and safer world than what we have today. My congratulations to the university and my well wishes for a most successful and bright future. His Excellency Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Prime Minister of Malaysia

Over 10,000 students from over 90 countries including Europe and the UK have graduated from Limkokwing University with an international perspective both Eastern and Western. It is this emphasis on relevant and practical innovation, and exposure to both Eastern and Western perspectives for the development of a nations economy that makes the Limkokwing University especially significant. The benefits of the establishment of a branch campus in the heart of London are tow-fold. It is a crucial extension of the Limkokwing University’s drive to further expand on its concept of the Global Classroom.

It will create new opportunities for students from Malaysia and other developing countries to experience life in London and Europe.
