Universities: Malaysia has nine public universities, one international, and two institutes which will be upgraded to university status. These institutions play the major role in the development of Malaysia. Presently, Malaysia still depends a great deal on foreign universities, especially in the United Kingdom, United States, Australia and New Zealand to provide higher education for its students. Malaysian universities provide diploma, undergraduate and post-graduate study programmes. The locations and the academic core areas of these universities are shown in Figure 2. Besides the public institutions, there are more than 300 private institutions/ centres/ colleges, which are involved in the provision of some form of tertiary educaion, and of this number, 23 of them are engaged in 'twinning programmes' mainly with universities in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The passing of new legislation on education recently is part of a major comprehensive reform of the country's higher learning; private universities have been established, led by Universiti Telekom (UNITEL), Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) and Universiti Teknologi Petrcnas."
