As a 6-star MyQuest for Berdaya Saing (Competitive) category-ranked private higher education institution approved by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia, UCSI College provides quality education and learning support for professionally-driven, industry-ready academic programmes to equip students and the current workforce with the necessary skills and knowledge for career success and continuous professional development.

The higher education industry is moving towards education for employability, especially preparing students for the digitally advanced workforce. It is no longer merely preparing a student to obtain a certificate, a diploma, or a degree. It is strategically working with the industry to add value and to prepare the students for job-readiness upon graduation. Students with the relevant technical skills will have more opportunities for better job opportunities.

UCSI College started off as UCSI English Academy in 2007 providing English Language Proficiency programmes for UCSI University students.
