Best New University Campus in Malaysia – KDU University College Utropolis Glenmarie

KDU University College has 2 campuses, one in Damansara Jaya and the other Utropolis

KDU University College Utropolis Glenmarie purpose built campus

Glenmarie. KDU University College’s brand new 10-acre flagship campus within the Paramount Utropolis integrated development at Glenmarie, Shah Alam.

The campus’ entire architecture, down to the details of every amenity, is intended to create an environment that will inspire our students to strive for academic excellence and realise their dreams.

KDU University College picked Glenmarie as the location of their new campus because it is a fast growing township, with a young population of 200,000 within a 10km radius.

The area is also easily accessible via transportation links across the Klang Valley, thus making it convenient for students to commute to and from campus. KDU University College has moved to their new campus in early 2015. Scholarships are available for deserving students as well.
