UMS is one of the most beautiful public university in Malaysia. Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) was established on 24 November 1994. His Royal Highness the Yang di Pertuan Agong proclaimed the establishment of UMS under Section 6(1) of the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971. The ninth public university in Malaysia expanded rapidly since its inception. The physical development of the permanent campus on a 999 acre piece of land began in August 1995. The University's occupation of the permanent campus started in 1999 and was completed in 2000. In that same year, a branch campus was established in Labuan Island placing two Schools concentrating on International Offshore Banking and E- Commerce. In addition, UMS has three centres of excellence to support teaching, learning and research in the university such as Tropical Biology and Conservation Research Institute, Borneo Marine Research Institute and Biotechnology Research Institute. The Centre for The Promotion of Knowledge and Language Learning was also established to support teaching, learning and research in the University. Today, UMS is proud of its 13 Schools that offer 63 degree programmes, with a total enrolment of more than 12,000 students. Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) has a plan to build a RM120 million branch campus in Sandakan to cater for the need to expand higher learning education in the East Coast. The off campus programme of UMS in Sandakan was started in 1996 by renting a building that belonged to Sabah Forestry Education Institute (formerly Sabah Forestry Training Institute). Under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP) the Sabah Government agreed to build the School of Agriculture facility in Sandakan that include hostels, a library, lecture halls and IT facilities. The School of Agriculture, he said, would have three branches of studies, namely Livestock Production, Crop Production and Horticulture and Landscape. UMS is also planning to build new branches in other parts of Sabah such as Tawau similar to its branch in Labuan. Kingfisher Park is the nearest housing accommodation sited about 2KM (around 3 minutes) from UMS. A sprawling suburb that has it's own little commercial center. There is a huge variety including Chinese, Indian, Malay and western foods inside of the commercial center and is probably the best place you can stay outside of UMS.Wong Kwok Company recently launched the University Apartments as an alternative to Kingfisher Park |
