We have received great recognition for our work, right in the first month of 2026. OUM has won Gold in the Education and Learning category at the Putra Brand Awards 2025. This is a proud moment for all of us in the OUM community.
The announcement was made on 23 January at a prestigious gala dinner in Kuala Lumpur.
What makes this recognition even more special is that it comes from the public. Known as Malaysia’s People’s Choice Awards, the Putra Brand Awards are decided by people across the country. Their votes send a clear message, that OUM inspires confidence and remains a trusted choice for lifelong learning across generations.
This Gold win also reflects OUM’s continued commitment to widening access to higher education through online learning and flexible pathways. We open our university doors to more Malaysians, stay ready for the future, and put our learners at the heart of everything we do.
The Putra Brand Awards are organised by the Association of Accredited Advertising Agents Malaysia (4As) and celebrate brands that have made a real impact on Malaysians.
Winners are chosen through a nationwide survey conducted by Ipsos. Voters share their views based on familiarity, personal experience, intention to choose a brand, and willingness to recommend it to others. In that sense, the award is a true reflection of public trust.
This achievement belongs to everyone who believes in OUM and supports our journey. Thank you for choosing OUM and growing with us every step of the way.
From every learner to every alumnus – this Gold belongs to all of us!
