Industrial University Selangor

Universiti Selangor is a public university in Selangor, Malaysia, wholly owned and managed by the Selangor state government independently

The university was established in 1999 as a private institution, initially focused on providing vocational training and higher education programs across various fields. This foundational step was significant in enhancing the state's educational landscape, addressing the growing demand for skilled professionals and offering a pathway for students seeking practical, career-oriented education. In 2001, the university transitioned from private to public ownership, becoming a fully state-funded institution. This change allowed for greater access to resources and support, enabling the university to expand its offerings and improve its facilities, which in turn facilitated a more comprehensive educational experience for students seeking to advance their knowledge and skills. Over the years, the university has consistently evolved to meet the changing needs of its students and the broader community. 

The university has also played a crucial role in promoting community engagement and contributing to the economic development of Selangor. It has established partnerships with local industries and businesses, providing valuable internship opportunities for students and conducting research that addresses real-world challenges, thereby strengthening the connection between academia and the community it serves. This collaborative approach not only benefits students but also supports the region’s economic growth and development initiatives.

Looking forward, the university is committed to further enhancing its educational offerings and adapting to the dynamic landscape of higher education. Plans are in place to incorporate cutting-edge technologies into the curriculum, ensuring students are well-versed in digital literacy and innovation. This includes expanding online learning platforms, which will provide greater flexibility and accessibility for a diverse student population. Additionally, the university aims to strengthen its ties with local and international industries, fostering partnerships that will lead to more internship and job placement opportunities for students. By collaborating with businesses, the university can ensure its programs remain relevant and responsive to market needs, ultimately enhancing employability.
