In the 21st century, change comes fast and furious. For many organisations, it requires a mindset that is extraordinarily alert, savvy with the latest technology, relentless in seeking new solutions and courageous in undertaking incredible risks for rewards that benefit the world. The future has always been defined by the power of imagination. It has always been about pushing back the boundaries and breaking down the barriers. It has always been about pushing the limits, rewriting the rules and charting new frontiers.

Three decades of nation building, industry transformation and talent creation
Since the 1970’s, we have been transforming the way people think and do things. We began as a company focused on strategic communications in Malaysia, helping improve the country’s foreign direct investment, trade promotion, country branding and international relations and addressed a host of socio-economic issues that required campaigns to change mindsets and move people forward. We believe in the talent of people and their ability to perform. Midway through our journey, we ventured formally into higher education as we saw a meaningful role in creating the right kind of human capital for the world.

World’s only university focused on applied creativity and industry innovation
The Limkokwing ethos is a creative, stimulating place that does not fit into any mold of what a university should be. This is a dynamic, multi-cultural congregation of young, enthusiastic creative minds, supported by experienced faculty and industry professionals. The Limkokwing eco-system manages change through the driving force of its Founder President with the support of a global team. It operates in a pressurised environment that overturns traditions and whenever possible re-engineers its delivery to enable the university to stay relevant to market demands and industry trends.

Industry within a university learning environment
We don’t follow the norm because it is out of sync with the pressures and demands of today’s lifestyle. We engage in what is called “blue sky, green field thinking” to produce a university that looks at how young people need to be educated. We face many obstacles, especially from those who have fixed ideas about education. But we have continued to move forward, pushing past the boundaries because of the encouragement we continue to receive. Industry – which benefits from our efforts – has always welcomed our ideas and organisations like the World Bank and UNESCO have shown interest in our methodology.

Creating a culture for entrepreneurial development and industry leadership
We encourage entrepreneurship, as the world is moving into a new era of greater connectivity and web networking. The advanced skills that our graduates gain at the University, encourages them to set up their own businesses offering services in these new developments. Being technology driven we try to keep up with new developments in both software and hardware. This is necessary to sustain the individual’s relevancy in the marketplace. Technology is leaping into an age of advancement that will see industry moving completely away from traditional methods and adopting new infrastructure for global computing.

Merging the best of East and West
Limkokwing University’s Best of East and West strategy is to bring both sides of the world together in a way that will enable young people to build their knowledge of other cultures. Now with the rise of China and India, we can look forward to a fusion of the best of the East and West that will take the world to a new level of knowledge and discovery.

Highly motivated, skilled, adaptive, competitive, enterprising, tech-savvy creative thinkers
The Limkokwing eco-system is developing a new class of knowledgeable, tech-savvy, culture-sensitive, global-trend-savvy graduates. This graduate is resilient, adaptable, innovative and at home in the technology-led 21st century. He or she carries a level of understanding and maturity that comes only from experience and exposure to multiple cultures and ideas. Thousands of our graduates are now employed in entrepreneurial pursuits or engaged in content development.

Our vision for global education is increasingly getting responses from people, governments and institutions across the world. We are inextricably linked with the future of the countries we are located in. Our deep involvement in building human resources puts us in a position of great responsibility because the future of the world rests on the abilities of the next generation.

We have become a global community with shared experiences and shared values. Our alumni are actively engaged in growing the productivity of companies and improving the effectiveness of organisations. In the near future we will not be surprised to see our alumni in influential positions.
