About UniversitiSains Malaysia (USM)

UniversitiSains Malaysia (USM) is established as the second university in the country in 1969. USM was first known as UniversitiPulau Pinang. In 1971, USM moved from its temporary premises at the Malayan Teachers’ Training College, Bukit Gelugor to the present 416.6 hectare site at Minden, approximately 9.7 km from Georgetown.
 
USM offers courses ranging from Natural Sciences, Applied Sciences, Medical and Health Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences to Building Science and Technology, Social Sciences, Humanities, and Education. These are available at undergraduate and postgraduate levels to approximately 30,000 students at its 17 Academic Schools on the main campus in the island of Penang; 6 Schools at the Engineering Campus in NibongTebal (approximately 50km from the main campus); and 3 at the Health Campus in KubangKerian, Kelantan (approximately 300km from the main campus).

As of June, 2018, we have 9,968 total number of staff (include the Hospital UniversitiSainsMalaysia). Out of this total number, 2,052 are the Academic staff. Furthermore, we have the total 28,565 students with 20,612undergraduates and 7,953 postgraduate students.  The total number of international students combined in USM is 1,760 students from 64 countries. 
 
USM also has 17 dedicated research centres for a wide range of specialisations which include archaeology, medicine and dentistry, molecular medicine, science and technology, Islamic development and management studies, and policy research and international studies. It also provides consultancy, testing, and advisory services to the industry under the ambit of USAINS Holdings SdnBhd, the University’s commercial arm.
 
Since the beginning, USM has adopted the School system rather than the traditional Faculty system to ensure that its students are multi-disciplined from their exposure to other areas of study by other Schools. We have currently have 26 schools, 13 centre of excellence, 2 higher education centre of excellence and 1 hospital in USM (HUSM).
 
As a Research Intensive University recognised by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia (MOHE) in 2007, USM offers educational and research opportunities to students and staff. In 2008, USM also became the first university in the country to be selected by the Malaysian government to participate in the Accelerated Programme for Excellence (APEX), a fast-track programme that helps tertiary institutions achieve world-class status.
