9 beautiful university campuses in Malaysia
Sprawling grounds and manicured gardens: these university campuses in Malaysia are in a class of their own
Malaysia’s universities are not merely institutions of learning; they are architectural masterpieces that nurture the mind as much as they captivate the eye.
From the serene Islamic architecture of the International Islamic University Malaysia, a national treasure, to the iconic grandeur of Universiti Teknologi Petronas in Perak, these campuses are a testament to our nation’s rich cultural tapestry. Beautifully designed spaces have long been recognised for their ability to foster creativity, enhance focus, and inspire intellectual growth. In light of this, we take a visual journey across Perak, Johor, Selangor, Sarawak, and Penang, for a unique glimpse into the nation’s academic and aesthetic brilliance.
1. University Sains Malaysia, Penang
The second oldest university in the country and first known as Universiti Pulau Pinang, Universiti Sains Malaysia’s (USM) maiden campus in Penang stretches across 416.6 hectares of land. Depending on what time of the year it is, tree-lined boulevards here are scattered with flowers from a variety of Tecoma trees. It’s no surprise then, as to how USM got its ‘Universiti Sakura Malaysia’ nickname.
Peaceful spots here include the grounds surrounding two adjoining lakes, Tasik Aman and Tasik Harapan—both serve as catchment areas to prevent from floods.
