UCSI is the pioneer of aquatic science in Malaysia's higher education landscape. It is currently the only university which hosts an aquatic lab capable of cutting-edge research in the country. 

Our MSC Applied Science by Research student, Cheong Ai Mun won the first price for the 9th MIFT Food Science and Technology Seminar held on 21-22 March 2015 with her research into the oil from the kenaf seed plant edging out participants from 13 other public and private universities. 

The Faculty of Applied Sciences has been offering a credit transfer programme overseas since 1999, and our Food Science and Nutrition students have been on the dean’s list at The University of Queensland, Australia, for four years since 2009.
