Open University Malaysia (OUM) is the result of a strategic alliance between Malaysia’s first of eleven Public Universities.

Whilst OUM’s recognised programs of high academic standing remain comparable to that of every consortium partner, the Vice-Chancellors of the coalition of Public Universities embarked on a strategic move with the aim to open a key window of opportunity that will help to advance the capabilities and prospects of career-minded working adults.

This window of opportunity is designed to provide every working adult with an avenue to enhance their competencies and add value to their careers through a range of professional awards-based programmes; and thereafter, operate effectively and efficiently in today’s highly competitive environment.

As a result, the collective purpose gave rise to the formation of a dedicated professional learning and development centre which functions under the banner and auspices of OUM.
