The Asian Institute of Medicine, Science and Technology (AIMST) University, founded on 15 March 2001, is a private university in Malaysia established by the Maju Institute of Educational Development (MIED), the educational arm of the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC), a component party of the Barisan Nasional Government in Malaysia. Located in the northern Malaysian state of Kedah Darul Aman, the university is the brainchild of YB Dato' Seri S. Samy Vellu, former Minister of Works, and President of the MIC.
AIMST is registered with the Ministry of Higher Education, Government of Malaysia, as a tertiary educational institute under Sections 38 and 39 of the Private Higher Educational Institutions Act of 1996. It formally began its operations on 30 October 2001, coinciding with its registration with the Department of Private Education under the Ministry of Higher Education.
Imbued with the vision of its founders, AIMST is on the road to becoming a premier private sector university in the country and region catering to the needs of local and international students. It aspires to provide quality technical education at affordable costs, in programmes covering medicine and health sciences, applied sciences, engineering, computer technology as well as business and management. The curricula for some of the degree programmes, especially medicine and engineering, are modeled on that of the University of Bristol in Great Britain.
