APIIT Malaysia/University College of Technology & Innovation

APIIT Malaysia
Asia Pacific Institute of Information Technology (APIIT) was incorporated in Malaysia in 1993 with the objective of providing a responsible and industry-sensitive platform for young individuals to develop IT and Business skills and qualifications.
Initiated by the Malaysian Government with the objective of addressing the critical shortage of IT professionals at all levels in Malaysia and the region, APIIT-Malaysia has grown from being a successful private higher education institution in Malaysia to establishing itself as a major regional player, with activities now spread to centres in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and India.

Since inception, APIIT has achieved tremendous success graduating more than 10,000 students to date. Further, APIIT-Malaysia is committed to investing in Research & Development and, in the last decade, APIIT has innovated a range of IT-related international award winning products capable of commercialisation.
The historical partnership between APIIT and Staffordshire University has necessarily been of significance in its development; the institution’s increasing and wide ranging affiliations to reputable universities in the UK and Australia and the rapid expansion in terms of number and diversity of programmes offered point to the internal strengths and the capacity for innovation and adaptability to the changing environment.

In November 2004, the Malaysian Government rewarded APIIT-Malaysia’s commitment to excellence in education by upgrading APIIT-Malaysia to university
college status - the University College of Technology and Innovation (UCTI).
