History
editALFA University College was established in 1998 as a 'boutique' design college in the Paramount Gardens district of Petaling Jaya. It was formerly known as ALIF Creative Academy. In 2004, ALFA College came under the administration of the REAL Education Group and was officially renamed as ALFA International College in 2008. In 2010, it was relocated to its present site in SS15, Subang Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan.
In 2017 ALFA has been taken over by Nusantara Education Group and has recorded a quantum leap in development of new programs, growing number of students and managed to upgrade its status to a university college in 2021, a major milestone achieved within 4 years after taken over by the Nusantara. In 2021, ALFA transformed into a University College as approved by the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education spearheaded by AUC Chairman, Dr. Shaharuddin Bin Mohd Satha and Mr Fairuz bin Kamarulzaman (Managing Director).
In December 2022, Professor Abdul Malek Tambi has joined on board as the AUC's Vice Chancellor. Moving forward, many significant developments will take place to meet the requirements of a full university status by year 2026 - 2027.
AUC is certified to ISO9001:2015 Quality Management System standard by Bureau of Veritas.
ALFA University College offers programmes ranging from Foundation, Diploma, Bachelor's Degree, Master's Degree and PhD.
ALFA University College also offers SKM (Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia) and DKM (Diploma Kemahiran Malaysia) courses on skill-based disciplines to support the lifelong learning for Malaysian and international students.
ALFA University College expanded its course to include early childhood education as well as Business Management and English Language. The AUC's expansion into various fields was part of a national effort underway in Malaysia to upgrade the quality of its education and to become International Education Hub by the year 2025.
