About SEGi University and Colleges

Background of Institution

SEGi was established in 1977 as Systematic College in the heart of Kuala Lumpur offering professional qualifications. Since its founding four decades ago, SEGi has undergone significant growth, strengthening the quality of its wide-ranging programmes from certificate to doctorate studies.

It is one of the most established private higher education institutions in Malaysia with a flagship campus in Kota Damansara and four other campuses in Subang Jaya, Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Kuching. Currently, SEGi has a population of 20,000 local and international students across its campuses.

SEGi is recognised as “The first Malaysian University that earned 5 Stars for prioritising society’s needs in Malaysia” by QS Stars, an international evaluation system for universities based on auditing.

SEGi has also added another accolade to its trove with its achievement in the 2016/2017 Malaysia Quality Evaluation System (MyQuest) ratings for Private Colleges. SEGi College Subang Jaya, SEGi College Penang and SEGi College Sarawak were awarded an outstanding six-star rating, while SEGi College Kuala Lumpur received a five-star rating. The six-star rating is the highest accolade a private college could achieve in the biennial evaluation and is reflective of SEGi’s commitment to providing high-quality education.

Why SEGi should be your first choice

Programmes offered at SEGi University and Colleges are meticulously planned and are equivalent to that in prestigious international universities. This is made possible through close collaborations with a consortium of global partners that consists of the University of Southern Queensland, Australia; University of Sunderland, University of Greenwich, and Abertay University from the United Kingdom; as well as Troy University from the United States.

What makes SEGi a trusted choice for many parents and students is its well-rounded curriculum in various disciplines ranging from certificate to doctorate level. We place a great emphasis on employability. Therefore, work placement is a part of the curriculum.

SEGi also believes that education goes beyond the classroom – a rich core curriculum is as important as the integration of soft skills in the learning modules. Hence, SEGI introduced the Enrichment Programme that provides an opportunity for students to explore and join the insightful workshops to enhance their studying experience with us.

The rapid development of technology has changed our lives in all aspects, and education is no exception. Therefore, SEGi has embarked on online education via Professional and Continuing Education (PACE) to make learning more accessible to busy working individuals. It provides flexibility for students to learn at their own pace and earn a recognised qualification without compromising on their work commitments.
