Welcome to MARALondon Website

MARA London office is a part of the MARA Education Sponsorship Division in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Established in 1973, in within the Malaysian Students Department building that was then located in Bryanston Square, we only had one officer in charge of 189 students.

As the number of students grew, so did our office. In July 2001, we moved to the High Commission building in Belgrave Square due to the closure of the Malaysian Students Department.

However, we began our operation in Queensborough Terrace when Malaysia Hall-Malaysian Students Department re-opened in July 2004.
