About Malaysia University of Science and Technology (MUST):

The Malaysia University of Science and Technology (MUST) has its roots in a visit to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) by the Malaysian Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, and his delegation in 1995. Inspired by MIT's educational model, they aimed to establish a university in Malaysia that mirrored MIT's excellence. This vision was realized in January 1997, when an agreement was signed to establish MUST. During its early years, MUST received comprehensive support and guidance from MIT, a globally recognized leader in advanced science and technology education and research.
