BUSINESS REVIEW
EduKATE - KPJ Healthcare University college
KPJ University College - Continuing to
Deliver Quality Education
Right from the outset, KPJ Healthcare
University College (KPJUC), formerly
known as KPJ International University
College, has earned a reputation for
being a progressive and entrepreneurial
institution of higher learning with an
international vision. From the time it kick-
started its first training programme with an
intake of 30 nursing students way back in
September 1991, KPJUC has maintained
a tradition of academic excellence with
a 100% success rate in the Malaysia
Nursing Board Examination. Today, KPJUC
is acknowledged as the pioneer in the
growth of nursing education in Malaysia
and the first to have its Diploma in Nursing
programme accredited by the Malaysian
Qualification Agency. These hallmarks set
KPJUC apart from others.
In 2012, KPJUC registered almost 2,000
students at its two campuses, where they
enrolled in one of the many undergraduate
and post-graduate programmes, all
of which has a niche in healthcare.

Today, KPJUC continues to broaden the
opportunities for pursuing a career in the
healthcare industry through its offer of
27 programmes ranging from foundation
to post-graduate programmes. Among
these are several new home-grown post-
graduate programmes; PhD in Nursing,
PhD in Medical Imaging and PhD in
Physiotherapy. The masters programmes
are Masters in Otorhinolaryngology
- Head & Neck Surgery, Masters in
Pharmaceutical Technology, Masters in
Nursing, Masters in Physioterapy and
Masters in Medical Imaging. Furthermore,
Masters in Otorhinolaryngology - Head &
Neck Surgery is the first specialist training
programmes offered in a private higher
education institution.
KPJUC hopes to offer seven new home-
grown Masters and PhD programmes. This
list includes three specialist programmes,
namely a Masters in Radiology, Masters in
Paediatric and a Masters in Orthopaedic.
By the end of 2013, the number of
programmes is expected to grow to 50
programmes.
The year 2012 saw us focusing our efforts
on strengthening our data mining and
processing activities to turn the wealth of
data and information available across the
Group into useful knowledge. A number
of knowledge sharing sessions were
held following the knowledge generation
process, which provided information
beneficial for follow-on improvements as
well as strategic decision-making.
EduKATE intends to continue tapping
the wealth of potential information and
knowledge from the data warehouse to play
an even bigger role and add more value
to the Group’s business operations and
information systems. Leveraging on KPJ’s
existing platforms to implement effective
and efficient knowledge management and
sharing, EduKATE is also working closely
with KPJ Information Technology to develop
a virtual platform for this purpose. Plans
are afoot to roll out the EduKATE Portal in
2013, which will serve as a more effective
knowledge management and self-learning
platform.
