Private universities in Malaysia
Community-maintained list. These come from Wikidata, not an official register.The Ministry of Higher Education keeps the register of private institutions, but its website terms don't permit commercial reuse, and its open data covers public institutions only. So this list may miss institutions or lag behind closures and renamings — check any university's registration and the accreditation of its programmes with the Malaysian Qualifications Agency before you apply.
