MMU is a tertiary education institution set up through Universiti Telekom Sdn Bhd (UTSB) and is a wholly owned subsidiary of TM. As the university at the heart of the MSC, MMU also serves as a catalyst for the development of the high tech ICT industry of the nation, parallel to the Silicon Valley-Stanford model in the United States.

It has produced 30,523 graduates in its time, and a recent survey demonstrates that 91% of these secure employment within 6 months of the completion of studies.
