Universiti Geomatika Malaysia (UGM) began in 2000 as a vocational center specializing in Land Surveying. Recognizing the increasing demand for expertise in this field, the institution sought and received approval from the Ministry of Education to attain college status. This led to the creation of the Department of Geospatial and Land Development, along with the launch of the Centre of GIS (CeGIS) Short Courses Program in Geospatial Technology and a Certificate in Land Assistantship Surveying. In 2014, UGM was elevated to a full university college by the Ministry of Higher Education. Today, UGM has expanded its reach with satellite campuses in Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, and Keningau. A leading global university committed to disseminating education by optimizing locations and available resources.
