“I am excited at the merging of the best and brightest from the East and West. It is my hope that such an exchange will produce a burst of creativity and innovation that will illuminate our future. I also hope that this cross-pollination will give rise to greater understanding and empathy between cultures and civilisations – qualities that are sorely needed in today’s world.”
YABhg Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi
Fifth Prime Minister of Malaysia
As part of Limkokwing’s modus operandi, merging the best of East and West, Tan Sri Limkokwing turned his gaze to the United Kingdom. As a global hub of finance and business, United Kingdom sets a competitive pace that helps students understand what is needed to excel on the world stage in their chosen fields.
Tan Sri Limkokwing also saw this as an opportunity to introduce the best of Asian education to the West. On 1 October 2007, Limkokwing United Kingdom opened its gates to the public, marking the first time a Malaysian University successfully penetrated the market in the United Kingdom.
