ASIA Metropolitan College Kota Kinabalu and Asia Metropolitan College Kuching have officially renamed and reshaped themselves as Cyberjaya College Kota Kinabalu and Cyberjaya College Kuching respectively.
Both Institutions are now affiliates of the University of Cyberjaya.
The change exercise began in the middle of 2021 and was completed by the end of that year.
The reshaping will bring about not only a noticeable change in the college’s names and branding, but will also benefit from shared resources, knowledge transfer, as well as benchmarking for quality across both campuses as well as the university.
Both colleges also gain from University of Cyberjaya’s reputation and experience as a SETARA 5-star rated institution as well as 5-stars it received from the QS Stars University Ratings for its Teaching, Facilities, Employability and Inclusiveness.
This year, the university was also ranked in the Top 400 under the Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings.
