Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) is a Malaysian public university located in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia and was established on November 24, 1994. His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong proclaimed the establishment of UMS under Section 6(1) of the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971. The institution is Malaysia's ninth university. It is considered by some visitors to a blog on Malaysian universities as one the most beautiful public universities in Malaysia.[1]
Initially, the university management office operated at the Malaysian Ministry of Education in Kuala Lumpur. It only shifted to Kota Kinabalu in 1995 by renting buildings to cater to its needs.
In August of the same year, physical development began to take place on a 999-acre (4 km²) land. The construction of its campus only finished in 2000.
UMS opened a branch in Labuan in 1999, known as Kampus Antarabangsa Labuan (Labuan International Campus).
Yang Berbahagia Tan Sri Dato' Seri (Dr.) Yeoh Tiong Lay, Group Executive Chairman of YTL Corporation Berhad was the Pro-Chancellor of UMS.
Prof Datuk Dr Mohd. Noh Dalimin is the current Vice-Chancellor in UMS.
Assc.Prof Dr Amran Ahmed is given the mandate to be the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Student Affair & Alumni).
The student representative Council is the ultimate legislative body among the students. A general election is held every year to elect representatives to the student representative Council. Members of the student representative Council, like those of the House of Lords in the United Kingdom, are appointed. They are commonly referred to as MPs or YB.
There are currently 15 faculties or schools and 9 research institutes in UMS.
