Ceremonial Symbols
University Mace

University Logo
Since we became a full-fledged University in 2019, the University of Cyberjaya has adopted a brand identity that reflects its global outlook and reflective of our desire to be an academic leader across a range of disciplines.
As one of the few universities that was born and nurtured in Cyberjaya, we feel inspired by the city’s spirit of innovation. We wanted to make sure that this part of our background was characterized in our logo as well. The C-letter mark is modern, forward-thinking, and fluid in design and simply denotes the town of Cyberjaya, where the University is located. It is made up of 3 rings representing academic excellence, innovation, and social impact. The two diagonal intersections on the left of the C-letter mark are designed to create a forward-leaning motion illustrative of the university’s continuous advancement.
The purple embodies the noble values that the university seeks to nurture among all our graduates. A darker shade of purple was chosen to make a stronger and bolder statement. A dash of magenta was added to represent a caring and nurturing approach, a link with our previous motto, Nurturing the Passion to Care.
University Anthem
The university anthem is sung to celebrate the University and strengthen the esprit-de-corps. The following are its lyrics:-
From humble beginnings
Through many a tribulation
Nurturing the passion to care
A noble profession
Guided by teachers
Like parents
Deserving respectful love
We are brothers and sisters
Striving for excellence
We seek knowledge
Divine and whole
Enriching the soul
Uplifting the character
For what is success
If it isn’t blessed
Cherishing moments
The joy and sadness
For the wrongs
Seek forgiveness
The Path of God, straight
Do not deviate
Feel His Grace
His Mercy, embrace
May our varsity prosper
With His Pleasure
Serving all of humanity
Is our pleasure

Quality initiatives in UoC revolve around three principles of quality assurance – accountability, self-evaluation and external peer review (e.g. appointment of external examiners for major examinations and accreditation audits by MQA).

The Center provides coordinating and facilitating roles in designing, implementing, managing, and assessing academic programs to meet quality standards; as well as provision of techniques and tools to assist various academic programs and other units of UoC towards self-improvement.
