The University was later divided into two national universities, one in Singapore (now an autonomous separate university known as the National University of Singapore), and the other in Kuala Lumpur (established as its own institution in 1962).
Situated on an 812-acre campus in the southwest of Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia, UM is a comprehensive university with multidisciplinary academic courses and research encompassing medicine, science, technology, social sciences and humanities.
