Lancaster University's Malaysia presence operates through a long-standing partnership with Sunway University in Petaling Jaya, established in 2006. This unique partnership allows students to study at Sunway University in Malaysia and graduate with both a Sunway University degree AND a Lancaster University degree, two internationally recognised certificates from one programme. Students can also transfer to Lancaster's UK campus through 1+2 arrangements, or spend time at Lancaster through Study Abroad and Summer Programmes. The partnership is one of Lancaster's most established international relationships and is recognised by the British Malaysian Chamber of Commerce.
