One of the University’s guiding principles is the recognition that knowledge knows no boundaries, and the forging of international partnerships is central to the realisation of its Vision for the Future. Queen’s has links with universities around the world and is committed to enhancing these partnerships still further. Queen's has a long-standing relationship with Malaysia stretching back over 50 years. There are currently 140 students enrolled at Queen's and there's also a very active alumni association in Malaysia - the Queen's University Alumni Association Malaysia.
Malaysian staff and research scholars from Malaysia at Queen’s have contributed significantly to research collaborations, and have highlighted the key achievements of Queen’s in Malaysia. We host a number of Malaysian delegations each year and our academic staff have visited Malaysia many times.
University Malaya (UM)
Queen’s launched a joint Centre for Public Health with the University of Malaya (UM) in 2009. This major initiative will lead to the establishment of a regional Cancer Registry in Malaysia. The University has also engaged in a number of joint research collaborations in a broad range of disciplines. The collaboration with UM also encourages split-site PhDs and exchange of faculty.
Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP)
Queen’s has research links with Petronas, the National Petroleum Company of Malaysia, and the Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) in the area of green chemistry, particularly using iconic liquids. Petroas are an industrial member of the Queen’s University Ionic Liquids Laboratory and have established a Petronas lab in Queen’s as well as ionic liquid laboratory in Malaysia in collaboration with Queen’s.
