After starting as Petaling Jaya Community College in 1984, City University Malaysia has since grown to serve around 4500 students each year under a full university accreditation status from the Ministry of Higher Education. City University is also accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency and Public Service Department. Due to the university's partnership with several universities in Australia, the UK, and the US, graduates are prepared for employment with both local and international companies as well as further study in an English-speaking country. Students are able to choose from over 60 degree programs under the categories of accounting and business, engineering, health sciences,

architecture, art and design, education and liberal arts, hospitality and tourism, and information technology. City U also offers diploma programs, master's degrees, and PhD programs. As an added bonus, the university provides free apartments to its students off campus as well as free transportation between the residences and the university, and on campus students will find a restaurant, sports facilities, clubs and societies, computer labs, and all the specialized facilities they need to succeed in their given field of study. The City U campus is located in Petaling Jaya, a large city on the outskirts of the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. Thanks to the efficient Malaysian public transportation system, students will have no trouble traveling beyond campus and their residence hall and out into the cities. In Petaling Jaya, students can unwind in nature at the Kota Damansara Community Forest Reserve, reconnect to their inner child at the Sunway Lagoon theme park, or learn about the religious history of the area at Sri Mahamariamman Temple. By traveling the fifteen minutes into Kuala Lumpur, students will be able to access all the capital city has to offer such as Batu Cave with its colorful staircase and temple, the excitement and entertainment of the Bukit Bintang shopping district, and the emblematic Petronas Tower. The sites, sounds, and tastes of Malaysia are alive in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, beckoning students at City U to immerse themselves in Malaysian culture while preparing for a successful future.
