The history of the SEGi University Group dates back to 1977 when it established its first Systematic College in the heart of Kuala Lumpur's commercial district by offering professional qualifications such as LCCI, ACCA and ABE. In tandem with the industry, the Group (formerly known as Systematic Group) grew considerably and expanded its range of courses and market reach through the acquisition of more colleges as well as by setting up new colleges.
The year 2006 marked a new beginning for the Group as it undertook a merger and consolidation exercise to position itself under the single brand name of "SEGi College". In 2007, SEGi earned another feather in its cap when it opened the doors of its new RM150 million flagship campus. A hallmark of private higher education in the country, the campus is strategically located at a 10-acre site located in Kota Damansara. The purpose-built campus, housing full-fledged academic, research and recreational facilities, provides a conducive learning environment for up to 12,000 students.
In recognition of their recent achievements, quality programme and facilities, SEGi received the certificate of registration from the Ministry of Higher Education to upgrade to University College status in 2008 and then another upgrade to University status in September 2012.
Located opposite the scenic Lake Cova, this premier institute is housed across ten acres in a purpose-built campus. The University boasts of top-notch research and recreational facilities. The architecture at the campus is colonial and Roman-inspired.
The Student Service Centre (SSC) provides assistance to students looking for a place to live while studying at SEGi. They help international and outstation students with information on accommodation routes, pricing and facilities. Students are usually accommodated in the college-managed hostel or private hostels. All housing options are reasonably priced and there is something in the wide range of options for everyone.
Student Residence Hall
Located within the main campus, this air-conditioned accommodation provides students with a bed, study table, chair, cupboard and fan. Shared facilities like television, lounge, toilets, cafeteria, convenience store and washing machines make it a suitable, secure and comfortable place to stay.
Private Accommodation
The Student Service Centre provides a list of private accommodation options to students who opt for more privacy and independence. Students are encouraged to stay close to the campus though there is no fixed location. Students can also check local listings in the classifieds section of the local newspaper. The various accommodation options are single, twin-sharing, partly furnished, fully furnished or staying with a family with rent being paid directly to the landlord on a monthly basis..
