Established in 1986, it has grown to become a leading university known for its wide array of academic programs and focus on producing industry-ready graduates. The main campus in Putra Nilai spans 82 acres, offering a comprehensive learning environment with modern facilities [1, 2].

The university emphasizes a career-focused education and maintains strong partnerships with international universities, including those in the UK, USA, Australia, and France [11, 9].

INTI International University commenced its operations in 1986 in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, with a modest enrollment of just 37 students. Rapid growth necessitated a relocation to Jalan Sungai Besi, Kuala Lumpur, in 1989 as its student population quickly expanded to 400 within 18 months [1].

By 1991, the college, with over 900 full-time students, established its permanent campus, INTI College Subang Jaya, and further expanded by opening branch campuses in Kuching and Kota Kinabalu in 1991 and 1996, respectively. The current main campus in Putra Nilai was founded on 82 acres of land in 1998 [1].

A significant milestone occurred on May 31, 2010, when the Ministry of Higher Education upgraded INTI University College to full university status, rebranding it as INTI International University. In 2020, the INTI Education Group was acquired by Hope Education Group (Hong Kong), further solidifying its position as a pioneer in offshore education [1].
