Our Purpose & Heritage
The University of Manchester Alumni Association of Malaysia (UOMAAM) was established to unify, represent, and empower the graduates of The University of Manchester residing and working in Malaysia (inclusive of graduates from the former Victoria University of Manchester and the former University of Manchester Institute of Science & Technology [UMIST]). UOMAAM operates as an independent, volunteer-led association aligned with The University of Manchester’s global alumni network.
What We Do
Our primary mission is to create meaningful opportunities for personal, academic, and professional growth among our members. We achieve this by hosting a varied calendar of events throughout the year – ranging from casual networking and industry panel sessions to collaborative initiatives with regional alumni associations across South East Asia, including Singapore, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. We also host and co-organise events with The University of Manchester whenever members of the academia and visiting officers visit Malaysia, offering an opportunity for our members to reconnect directly with our alma mater.
Supporting Future Generations
UOMAAM acts as an ambassadorial body for both prospective and current Malaysian students heading to Manchester and for graduates returning home from Manchester. We provide mentorship and offer real-world insights into studying in the UK and, upon return, embarking on their careers in Malaysia.
Stay Connected
No matter where your career path takes you, being a Manchester graduate offers access to an extraordinary network of leaders, innovators, and changemakers. We invite alumni across Peninsular and East Malaysia to join us, become a member, attend our gatherings, and contribute to our growing community.
