Fairview University College
On July 18, 2012, the Board of Directors of Fairview International School (FIS) received a formal invitation from the Minister of Higher Education to submit an application to establish a private higher education institution with university college status. This conclusion was reached on the basis of Fairview’s extensive experience and knowledge in administering the IB approach to education in Malaysia.
On August 21st, 2013, Fairview formally received agreement from IBO for the IBEC award for the upcoming programmes that are being run by UCF. UCF became officially recognised by the Ministry of Education as University College Fairview on October 21st, 2015. (UCF). On February 3, 2017, the Ministry of Education registered the Subang Campus for University College Fairview in a formal capacity.
