Exploring Unchartered Territories

This welcoming upgrade from a reputable localised college to a University College-level institution with an international standard has undeniably boosted our confidence in striving further for excellence. Linton University College's past successes and its new status as a University College have opened new opportunities for its Institution and at the same time, present a new set of challenges as there is a vast ocean of unchartered opportunities that has yet been explored.

Making our way through each new path as we advance through this new academic year of 2010, Linton aims to use this new status as a platform for transformation as a full fledged University College, with immense passion and dedication to improve our image and ability to become a highly reputable institution in providing first class tertiary education to all generation, not just in Malaysia, but throughout the world.

Achieving Global Accreditation and Recognition

Its constant achievements enabled Linton University College to progress steadfastly on the academic ladder. These achievements also include Linton's capacity to provide quality accredited programmes to our students. By constantly abiding to strict accreditation criteria of the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) and other related local and international professional agencies, we are committed to work towards ensuring all our programmes are fully accredited and as such, we are proud to have one of the highest number of fully accredited programmes amongst private tertiary institutions.

Linton's long-term association with the University of East London (UEL) and Coventry University provides a platform for it to function as a local tertiary institution that meets international academic standards, offering numerous internationally recognised (3+0) franchised programmes to our students. Through such synergistic collaborations, Linton University College has enhanced its international profile and character through joint development of curriculum, research, staff development and knowledge transfer with our international partners.

Enriching Students' Experiences

With more than RM 1 billion invested in the development of the township, Linton University College is able to provide its students an excellent and dynamic learning environment. Now, Linton University College lies in a sprawling township of more than 200 acres, complete with high quality residential, teaching and sporting facilities, and other amenities. Within its own campus, Linton University College is equipped with modern facilities including state-of-the-art Engineering laboratories, computer laboratories, Visual Arts studios, spacious lecture theatres, and a well stocked library amongst other resources.

Linton University College also provides a readily accessible advice and support services for its students under the "WE CARE" pastoral care system throughout their study in its campus to ensure that all students are able to adapt well to their studies and to their newfound social environment.
