KPJ International University College

It was a historic moment for KPJ International University
College of Nursing and Health Sciences (KPJ University
College) when it was bestowed the University College
status in mid-2011 and another milestone was
achieved through the successful conclusion of its 15th
Convocation Ceremony later that year, which was its first
as a University College.
Datin Paduka Siti Sa’diah Sheikh Bakir, Managing Director
of KPJ Healthcare Berhad received the University College
award certificate from Malaysia’s Minister of Higher
Education, Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, at an
event held at the ministry on 25 July 2011. The event was
witnessed by Kamaruzzaman Abu Kassim, President and
Chief Executive of Johor Corporation.
This was soon followed by the University College’s First
Convocation Ceremony on 5 December 2011, which was
also the 15th Convocation Ceremony for the education
unit under its previous College status when it was known
as KPJ International College of Nursing and Health
Sciences (KPJIC).
Scrolls were presented to 782 graduates, alongside various
awards for academic achievements in the fields of nursing
and health sciences, ranging from Diplomas to Bachelors
and Masters degrees. This represented an 11% year-on-
year rise in the number of graduates.
Of this, 655 were diploma nursing graduates who have sat
for and passed the Malaysian Nursing Board examination.
The inauguration of both the Chancellor and Pro-Chancellor
for the university college was also formalized at the
convocation ceremony, with Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Arshad Ayub
