The Limkokwing Concept
The university is built on an
 Integrated academic – industry interface platform
 To provide students with industry-focused and driven
hands-on learning experience
 To nurture in students a mindset that goes beyond
employability; that focuses on ground breaking
capability and industry leadership
 To provide students with a learning environment that
builds character and encourages talent and
personality development
“An institution such as
Limkokwing is very important
as it trains people to think
creatively.”
YABhg Tun Dr. Mahathir Bin Mohamad
YABhg Former Prime Minister of Malaysia, 7 Jan 2002
Mission
Our mission is to provide the world's most dynamic,
integrated industry-based environment that
produces the most innovative graduates in the
cutting-edge design, communication, multimedia, business
and information industries of the 21st century. In this
fertile, international environment, world-class creative
excellence is stimulated and cultivated.
Experiential Learning
One must accepts a revolutionary way of learning that
would build character, enrich the minds and build
confidence in ways that are markedly different.
The revolutionary way of learning is much of an
experiential learning which is very subjective in the
measurements, but, all measurements of success or
failures are subjective.

INDUSITY
“The moment you step into Limkokwing University,
you can’t help but be enthusiastic about the whole
notion of being creative.
Everything here is different.
Its not the run-on-mill university and I am sure you will
be imbued with the right kind of ambience thinking, not
only in the formal sense, but you interaction with the
people here, with the various other nationalities,
the cultural milieu here, it’s exciting.
Imagine, what that will do to you in terms of the benefits,
the interaction you get with the different cultural
background of other students.”
