At MSU, the commitment to sustainability is integrated across various disciplines and curricula in accordance with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) wherein this commitment is later translated into a myriad of sustainable policies, high impact research, action plans, community outreaches and knowledge transfers involving 25 key research areas in partnership with more than 2,000 industry partners to enhance its experiential learning methodologies and creating lasting impacts to the world. 

 Committed to transforming lives and enriching the future, the university and its social impact arm, MSU Foundation (Yayasan MSU) has been at the forefront of promoting social equity, environmental stewardship and economic resilience through the Giving and Grateful (2G) culture aimed at eradicating poverty, combating hunger and ensuring equitable access to education for all. 

Joining forces with its 11 colleges across Malaysia, its offshore campuses and partnering institutions, the university envisions future changemakers to be readily equipped with critical skills, entrepreneurial mindsets and extensive exposures to the global drastically-evolving digital economy. A plethora of study modes, mobility programmes, research-driven innovations and commercialisation are further empowered with the establishment of MSU Centres of Excellence (CoE) that harness the power of interdisciplinary knowledge and scientifically-backed solutions as the answer to address contemporary global challenges. 

Some of the university’s high impact and award-winning projects by MSU ‘s academia and scholars include MyCoral Eco Marine Project aimed at boosting coral propagation along the coast of Peninsular Malaysia, and the ‘MSU Eye Assessment Chart and Ruler for Children with Special Needs’ by MSU Eye Care Centre (iCARE) continuously undergo extensive research and development (RnD) processes to go for potential research commercialisation.
