As Malaysia’s lockdown restrictions ease and the country heads towards economic recovery, Sunway University Online aims to be at the forefront of delivering an online learning experience that marries quality education with flexibility, and value, for the savvy working professional looking to future-fit themselves. To equip the Malaysian workforce with knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0), Sunway University Online offers the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Data Science (MDS) programmes 100% online for greater flexibility.

Understanding the need for a balanced lifestyle, the programmes offered at Sunway University Online are structured into 7-week learning blocks to give business professionals the ability to learn anytime, anywhere while being highly supported both inside and outside the classroom.


A peek on the inside of one of these virtual classrooms reveals quality activity-based learning designed to authentically align to real-world problems. Students are also given the opportunity to engage with passionate academics and industry experts boasting global experience, allowing students to gain valuable insights and knowledge to add value and remain competitive in the workplace.

Sunway University Online programmes combine high quality, engaging education with a contemporary and relevant curriculum that aligns with the needs of a future-fit workforce as we embrace IR4.0. According to a recent survey by UOB, 91% of Malaysians see the need to reskill or upskill in the near future, demonstrating the importance of gaining the right skills to remain one step ahead in the workplace.

Education as we know it is rapidly changing not only to cater to the times we live in but also to appeal to those looking to upskill or reskill themselves for career success. Employers too are seeking out versatile and knowledgeable talent who can work dynamically in an increasingly digital world. According to recent research by Forrester Research, 80% of Malaysian firms are projected to implement or expand their digital transformation plans by the end of 2021.

“You can no longer overlook the importance of reskilling or upskilling yourself in a rapidly changing digital world. Reskilling or upskilling yourself means building a strong foundation where you will be able to add value to any organisation and potentially make a global impact as the world becomes increasingly borderless. Whether you apply for an MBA or MDS at Sunway University Online, you can be sure that the quality education provided will equip the workforce of tomorrow through in-demand skills to help you future-fit your career and open yourself to new opportunities,” said Professor Graeme Wilkinson, Vice-Chancellor at Sunway University.

He continued, “A holistic remote learning experience also allows you to master time management by giving you the flexibility to plan your schedule and achieve your personal and professional milestones, which is in itself a valuable skill to acquire and learn.”

The next intake for the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Data Science (MDS) programmes will commence in January 2022. For further information and to apply for the programmes offered by Sunway University Online, please visit https://studyonline.sunway.edu.my/.
