BRIEF HISTORY OF UM

UM was founded in Singapore in 1949, after the Second World War, with the amalgamation of two pre-war colleges in Singapore — the King Edward VII College of Medicine, founded in 1905 (offering medical, dental and pharmaceutical courses) and the Raffles College, founded in 1929 (arts and science courses). In 1957, there was only a “virtual” UM in KL offering arts courses with “flying” lecturers from UM in Singapore shuttling between both locations. Following the establishment of the Faculty of Engineering in KL in 1958, UM then had two divisions, UM in KL and UM in Singapore. The faculty in KL was the only IHL in Malaya offering courses in civil engineering. UM in Singapore became the University of Singapore in 1962. In 1980, it became the National University of Singapore after merging with Nanyang University. In 1962, UM in KL retained its original name, and offered courses in engineering, arts, science and agriculture.
