Xiamen University Malaysia (XMUM) is the first overseas campus set up by a renowned Chinese university and the first Chinese university branch campus in Malaysia. Located in the vicinity of Bandar Kota Warisan, Sepang, Selangor, it's just 15 minutes ride from the country's administrative center of Putrajaya or 45 km southwest of Kuala Lumpur. It is built on an area of 150 acres with a planned total floor space of 470,000 square meters. XMUM aspires to become a university with a distinct global outlook, which features first-class teaching and research, and embraces cultural diversity. With the exception of Chinese Studies and Traditional Chinese Medicine, the medium of instruction for all other programmes is English.
Many other people said that university life is under pressure, stress and other horrible things. But so far at XMUM, my experience is that the classes are very enjoyable, and the subjects are relevant to our daily life. XMUM have quite a lot of facilities. Even though I’m living in the campus area, there are so many things we can do here. I’m sure students here can live a balanced life. I love Malaysia. Because we have a similar culture in Indonesia, it is not very hard for me to adapt to this new culture. The people here are also very humble and friendly, they would always help me if I meet obstacles.
The environment and the surroundings are similar to my hometown, so I don’t worry about being homesick. So far, the lecturers are all very kind and patient. They take their time to explain materials to make sure the students enjoy and understand what they’re learning. And even though XMUM is quite far from downtown, I’m pretty sure you will not get bored since the activities and facilities will keep you busy. I live in the D1 building. The room has the aircond and there are pantries on each floor. It’s convenient for me to store food in the refrigerator or heat it in the microwave. The securities are also friendly and responsible. Studying at XMUM will surely be unforgettable.
If you wish to have a one-on-one session with an education counsellor, you can make an appointment here. We are available from Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm (MYT)

The XMUM Foundation in Arts and Social Science is a one-year programme which is designed to offer a route for aspiring students to fulfil their dreams of gaining a higher education qualification in arts and social science fields. Students have the freedom to choose an academic track which corresponds with their intended field of undergraduate studies at XMUM. Various academic tracks are available and they are: Business, Communication Studies and Chinese Studies.
The E-Commerce programme at Xiamen University China (XMU) has been offered since the year 2000. The programme was one of the National First-Class undergraduate programmes approved by Ministry of Education of China. Itis ranked No. 6 among China’s institutions, and given a rating of A+ level in the global discipline assessment by ARWU (Academic Ranking of World Universities) 2021.
The school here is supported by a high calibre of faculty team from the School of Management and School of Economics, XMU. 94% of the faculty members hold a Ph.D. degree and 80% have previous academic experience in globally renowned universities.
The School of Management, XMU, was granted accreditation by AMBA (2011), EQUIS (2013) and AACSB (2020), joining a prestigious group of 1% business schools worldwide which hold the “Triple Crown" accolade. Besides, according to the Tilburg University Worldwide Economics Schools Research Ranking 2015, the School of Economics, XMU, was ranked among the top 4 in China and 16th in Asia based on the number of articles published in prestigious international publications from 2011 to 2015.
The E-Commerce programme at the School of Economics and Management (SEM), Malaysia Campus, draws on and benefits from the excellent educational resources of both the School of Management and the School of Economics, XMU. We aim to provide students with relevant knowledge, competencies, and skills in management with a specialisation in electronic commerce which will prepare them to be professional, competent, and analytical graduates for the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
With a robust business foundation incorporating technical skills, students in this programme will be trained to become successful leaders in e-commerce.
Chemical Engineering (ChE) is a well-recognised branch of engineering that applies the core scientific principles of chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics to transform raw materials into useful or valuable end-products. It covers the development, design and operation of chemical processing plants while considering elements such as techno-economic viability, operability, safety and sustainability for the extraction, conversion and recovery of materials. There is a tremendous demand for chemical engineers in many sectors of industry, including the traditional processing industries: chemicals, polymers, fuels, foods, pharmaceuticals, and paper, as well as other sectors such as electronic materials and devices, consumer products, mining and metals extraction, biomedical implants, power generation, education and insurance.
The Che programme in Xiamen University Malaysia (XMUM) has been awarded full accreditation by the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) Malaysia and provides a cohesive learning and knowledge-building environment for the pursuit of quality teaching and research. Other than the set-up of advanced chemical engineering laboratories for teaching purposes, a Simulation Integrated Process Plant (SIPP) was also established in XMUM. The SIPP facility can be regarded as the first simulated process plant available in Malaysia catering for the training of chemical engineering students especially in the fields of process safety, control and instrumentation. The elements of Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) are also embedded in some of the courses in the ChE programme. In addition, the programme is supported by well-qualified staff members who are experts in various research areas of chemical engineering, such as catalysis process, modelling and simulation, nanomaterials, membrane, biomass and bio-product development.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an interdisciplinary field, coveringdisciplines like programming of intelligence, functionality of brain and industrial intelligence application. Currently, all the giant Internet companies are competing for the advantages of artificial intelligence applications.There exists a huge demand for intelligence system programmers and designers. The involved domains include almost every aspect of modern life.
It is well-known that China is one of the leading countries in artificial intelligence, no matter in the field of research or industrial application. Xiamen University has a very strong faculty in intelligence science with more than 23 academic staffs. It is ranked among the top ten in China and offers a variety of courses in the theories and industrial applications of artificial intelligence. The faculty has produced a number of world-class researchers such as Ji Rongrong (纪荣嵘), who conducts many breakthroughs in computer vision.
With the balance between theories and practices, our programme at XMUM equips graduates with the necessary knowledge and skills to manage the development and research of computer and intelligence systems through outstanding teaching and research activities in an exciting environment. Besides, we are dedicated to training our students’ skills in analytical thinking, problem solving and management, which enables them to adapt to the ever-changing world. Those who would like to pursue further study in this area can also apply for post-graduate programmes at XMU.
Xiamen University is the pioneer of education for the field of advertising in China, since starting in 1983. Our programme at Xiamen University Malaysia provides a comprehensive exploration of advertising, public relations, integrated marketing communications, branding, digital marketing, strategic communications, event management and other practical courses. Courses allow students to acquire and practice skills in simulated situations and, when applicable, with professional clients.
