Choosing a University in 2025? Here’s Why APU is Standing Out in Malaysia and Beyond - StudyMalaysia.com

Choosing the right university in 2025 isn’t easy. With so many options and so much at stake, students are asking: Where will I gain future-ready skills? And parents are wondering: Where will my child be safe, supported, and set up for success?

At Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU), the answer is a resounding yes to all of the above.

APU's awards - 2025

A University That’s Recognised Around the World

APU isn’t just one of Malaysia’s leading private universities - it’s an internationally recognised institution. Ranked #597 in the QS World University Rankings 2024 and among the Top 2% of universities globally, APU is the first and only Malaysian university to achieve a QS 5-Stars Plus Rating, a distinction held by only 23 universities worldwide.

It’s also rated 5-STAR (Excellent) under SETARA by Malaysia’s Ministry of Higher Education, and officially recognised as a Premier Digital Tech University by MDEC.
