history
The University of Malaya has its origins in the King Edward VII College of Medicine founded in 1905 and Raffles College created in 1929 . Both colleges were merged in October 1949 to form the University of Malaya , based in Singapore . Due to the rapid growth of the university in its first decade, two autonomous branches were established in 1959, one in Singapore that would later become the National University of Singapore and one in Kuala Lumpur, which has retained its name to this day. In 1962 the two branches became independent state universities.
