Headquartered in Penang, USM operates across three campuses: the Main Campus in Penang, the Engineering Campus in Nibong Tebal, and the Health Campus in Kubang Kerian, Kelantan. The university offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across diverse disciplines, including science, engineering, medicine, pharmacy, social sciences, humanities, education, and technology.

Recognised as a Research University by the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education in 2007 and selected as Malaysia’s first APEX (Accelerated Programme for Excellence) university in 2008, USM is committed to advancing research excellence, innovation, sustainability, and societal impact. The university is supported by 17 specialised research centres, comprehensive academic and student facilities, and strong community-industry engagement. USM also promotes holistic student development through extensive support services, extracurricular activities, and multidisciplinary learning under its unique School-based academic system.

USM aspires to achieve excellence through sustainability. Its APEX framework positions the university as a sustainability-led institution, integrating sustainable development into its teaching, research and innovations, governance, and industry-community engagement. Beyond producing highly skilled graduates, USM is committed to creating meaningful societal impact by empowering low-income communities within and beyond the university. Through this approach, the university strives to ensure that its impacts generate sustainable benefits for society while contributing to sustainable national and global development.
