University of Wollongong is expanding into Malaysia, buying, subject to government approval, majority shares in local provider KDU’s university colleges in Kuala Lumpur and Penang. The colleges have 6 000 enrolments, with the capacity to double numbers. UoW now provides pathway courses in Malaysia via a partner college. KDU’s enrolments are 85 per cent Malaysian, with the balance from other South East Asian countries. UoW says this is not expected to change.
UoW has had a campus in Dubai for 30 years and expanded into Hong Kong in 2016.
