“There has been a drastic change over the years. It is impressive and stunning to observe these changes and growth in such a short period,” said Prof. Colin Riordan, whose last visit to XMUM was on 28 October 2016.

Since 2018, Xiamen University Malaysia has been working in collaboration with Cardiff University to expand students’ international exposure. Currently, the partnership involves a Postgraduate Study Pathway and a Progression Pathway, allowing XMUM students to progress into a Master’s course at Cardiff University with privileges, including tuition fee discount and IELTS exemption.
