Producing Highly Employable Talents & Youth Entrepreneurs

Binary University was founded with a single, unwavering purpose: to differentiate our students. In a world crowded with mass-produced graduates, Binary exists to transform carefully selected individuals into exclusive talents—professionals who are sought after by global employers and command premium salaries because of their skills, mindset, and real-world readiness. We do not measure success by the number of graduates we produce, but by the value our graduates create in organisations, industries, and societies.

Our journey began in 1984 as Binary Business School (BBS), at a time when professional education in Asia was still evolving and there were less than 10 colleges inMalaysia. From the very beginning, Binary challenged conventional academic models by placing industry relevance, employability, and practical competence at the centre of learning.

Over the decades, this commitment to innovation, relevance and excellence enabled Binary to grow steadily in stature and impact. In 2012, Binary reached a defining milestone—becoming a globally recognised, full-fledged university while staying true to its original mission: producing graduates who stand apart, not blend in.

At the heart of Binary’s differentiation model are three powerful ecosystems that work together to shape exceptional outcomes.

First is the ISP Centre of Excellence, supported by 1,280 Faculty of Industry Professionals (FIPs) who equip our graduates with industry-specific skills across 23 industries to transform them to become ISP TALENTS.

Second is the Asia Centre for Entrepreneurship (ACE), a vibrant network of over 10,500 entrepreneurs across multiple industries and countries. ACE enables our students to develop entrepreneurial thinking, innovation capability, and opportunity awareness—skills that are critical whether one chooses to build a business as an entrepreneur or lead within an organisation as an intrapreneur.

Third is the Binary Talent Internship (BTI) Network, a curated group of employers who recognise the distinctive quality of Binary graduates. These employers are prepared to pay premium internship allowances of RM3,000 for Binary Premium Master’s students and RM2,000 for Premium Bachelor’s students, reflecting the immediate value our students bring to their companies.

It is important to be clear: Binary Premium Programs are not for everyone. They are designed for individuals who are ambitious, disciplined, globally minded, and determined to excel. Entry into these programs is through a rigorous 3-Step Selection Process—Aptitude Test, Interview, and Final Shortlisting. Only those who meet Binary’s high standards are extended an offer. Admission is strictly limited to 45 students per program and by Invitation Only.

To parents, employers, and future students: Binary University is not a place to earn a degree. It is a place to be transformed—into an exclusive professional talent the world competes to hire. We welcome ambitious global citizens to come to Binary if you truly want a completely different type of educational experience that can empower you to rise to great heights of career success.
