History

The college was opened in 1986 in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur.^{[citation needed]} The college only enrolled 37 students at its inception, but the student population increased to 400 within 18 months. Enrollment continued to increase, causing the college to be relocated to Jalan Sungai Besi in Kuala Lumpur in 1989.^{[citation needed]}

Two years later, with more than 900 full-time students, the college established a permanent campus: INTI College Subang Jaya (ICSJ). It also opened branch campuses in Kuching, Sarawak, and Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, in 1991 and 1996, respectively. And up to date^[when?] for INTI Subang Jaya already 25,000 students and INTI Nilai already 14,500 students.^{[citation needed]}

INTI College Malaysia's (ICM) main campus was established on 82 acres (330,000 m²) of land in Putra Nilai in 1998.^{[citation needed]} In March 2000, INTI acquired International College Penang, which is located in the Bukit Jambul education township. In 2004, INTI continued to expand with three new associate campuses: Genting INTI International College, Metropolitan College, and PJ College of Art & Design. To date,^[when?] INTI has six associate campuses in Malaysia.^{[citation needed]}

On 4 September 2006, INTI College Malaysia received approval from the Ministry of Higher Education for an upgrade to university college status and became INTI University College (INTI UC).^{[citation needed]}

In 2008, INTI merged with Laureate International Universities to become a member of the Laureate International Education Group.^{[citation needed]}

On 31 May 2010, the Ministry of Higher Education upgraded INTI University College to the status of a university, allowing it to confer its own degrees. INTI University College became INTI International University (IU).^{[citation needed]}

On 1 June 2010, INTI University College received its upgrade to a full university from Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.^{[citation needed]} Its student population was 300 at that time.
