The University of Malaya, or UM, Malaysia's oldest University, is situated on a 750 acre (309 hectares) campus in the southwest of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's capital. It was founded on 28 September 1905 in Singapore as the King Edward VII College of Medicine. On 8 October 1949, it became the University of Malaya with the King Edward VII College of Medicine and Raffles College (founded in 1928). The University of Malaya derives its name from the term 'Malaya' as the country was then known. The Carr-Saunders Commission on University Education in Malaya recommended the setting up of the University, noted in its Report in 1948. The University's growth was very rapid during the first decade of its establishment, which resulted in two autonomous Divisions on 15 January 1959, one located in Singapore and the other in Kuala Lumpur. In 1960, the two territories' government indicated their desire to change the status of the Divisions into that of a national university. The legislation was passed in 1961, and the University of Malaya was established on 1 January 1962. View full university
