Universiti Sains Malaysia (lit. 'Science University of Malaysia'; abbreviated as USM) is a public research university in Malaysia. Founded on 1 June 1969 as a statutory body with its own constitution, it is among the oldest institutes of higher learning in Northern Malaysia. It has three campuses: a main campus on the island of Penang, a health campus in Kelantan, and an engineering campus in Nibong Tebal.
USM is the only Accelerated Programs for Excellence (APEX) government-funded autonomous university in Malaysia.[4][5] Like most of other universities in Malaysia, USM also used English as its medium of instruction.
