The University of Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) is a private university in Malaysia. Established in 2002, it is owned by the Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA), a government agency focused on uplifting Bumiputera communities. Despite its government ties, UniKL operates as a private institution, offering technical and vocational education.
UniKL specializes in engineering, technology, and industrial fields, providing industry-aligned programs. While it receives some government support, its funding and governance model classify it as a private university. This distinction affects tuition fees and administrative processes, aligning with private sector standards rather than public university regulations.
