IN LINE WITH MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT ASPIRATIONS

In 2012, the Prime Minister’s Office and PEMANDU (Performance Management and Delivery Unit) awarded UOW Malaysia with an Entry Point Project (EPP14) initiative under the Economic Transformation Plan and the National Key Economic Area (Education) to spearhead the Game Development industry in Malaysia, focusing on awareness and talent building activities. This Game Development Cluster represents the start of a strategic collaboration between educational institutions and the Game Development industry to create a High-Income, Sustainable Creative Economy in the area of Game Development.

In 2019, UOW Malaysia once again spearheaded the formation of the Game Development Council of Malaysia (GDCOM) under the Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysia. The council which has three broad-based objectives; to provide academic leadership and academic excellence in higher education; to create awareness of the game development industry; and to develop talent development initiatives to sustain the ecosystem; reports directly to MOE.

In other words, UOW Malaysia is recognised by both the Industry and the Malaysian Government as one the premier Game Development institutions in the country.
