History

edit

Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences (CUCMS) was established on 23 October 2005. The institution originally consisted of two faculties offering two bachelor's degree programmes in medicine and pharmacy. It operated out of its first campus at Street Mall, Cyberjaya.

In 2009, CUCMS moved to a new location in anticipation of student growth. The campus offered increased student capacity and fully equipped teaching facilities.

In 2010, three additional faculties were established to offer allied health science, occupational safety & health, and complementary medicine programmes.

Abu Abdullah was appointed as the new President on 4 January 2010.[vague]

By 2013, the University is acquired by SMR Group.

In 2015, CUCMS established its Faculty of Safety and Health from the previous School of Business. In 2018, CUCMS moved into its brand-new, purpose-built campus (current campus) along Persiaran Bestari.

In 2019, Tan Sri Anwar Ali was appointed as the second chancellor of the university.[1] In 2023, the university established its Faculty of Creative Art and Design and Centre of Biomedical Engineering.[citation needed]
