UCSI University hosted its first-ever hackathon, drawing more than 400 students from high schools, colleges and universities nationwide. The highly anticipated event marked the official launch of UCSI’s Hackathon, a year-long initiative designed to challenge participants to breach a secure cloud platform and capture as many flags as possible within a limited time. This hackathon represents the latest milestone for UCSI’s Institute of Computer Science and Digital Innovation, held in collaboration with Palo Alto Networks and AceTeam Networks.  More than 100 teams competed, with team Iconitive emerging as the overall winner, securing the RM5,000 grand prize.

UCSI University is now the sole educational and corporate partner of the World Association of Master Chefs in Malaysia. With a network of over 100,000 members including 15 Michelin-starred chefs, the international organisation stands out for its global reach in its efforts to promote the development and exchange of global hospitality culture.  This alliance paves the way for UCSI’s culinary and hospitality students to gain certifications and access membership opportunities within the association. The partnership was inaugurated by Deputy Higher Education Minister YB Datuk TS Mustapha Sakmud, alongside UCSI University pro-chancellor Yang Amat Mulia, Tunku Zain Al-’Abidin and World Association of Master Chefs global president, Prof Gaven Ferguson. 

On September 24th, UCSI University proudly celebrated the achievements of our SUKIPT athletes, who set a new record by finishing fourth overall and claiming the top spot among private universities in the 2024 competition. They excelled across multiple disciplines, with an impressive medal haul in swimming, basketball, badminton, and track and field. 

The swimming team led the charge with 13 gold, 6 silver and 3 bronze medals, while our basketball teams secured gold in the men's category and silver in the women's. Badminton contributed with a gold and a bronze medal, and track and field added two silver medals to the tally. The volleyball team also showed great promise by reaching the quarterfinals.

To commemorate their success, the athletes were treated to a sumptuous dinner featuring exquisite dishes prepared by Le Quadri Kuala Lumpur. The celebration was also graced by esteemed University officials, including the vice-chancellor and president Prof Emerita Datuk Ts Ir Dr Siti Hamisah Tapsir, the council chairman Dato' Peter Ng and deputy vice-chancellor of academic and internalisation (Kuala Lumpur Campus) Prof Datuk Dr Rohana Yusof.
