Limkokwing University of Creative Technology

Limkokwing University of Creative Technology (also called Limkokwing and LUCT) is a private university that has a presence across Africa, Europe, and Asia. With its main campus in Malaysia, the university has over 30,000 students from more than 150 countries.

The university offers a wide range of programs at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in various fields of study, including design, multimedia, communication, business, and technology.

In addition to academic programs, the university offers various extracurricular activities, clubs, and societies for students to participate in, including sports, performing arts, cultural activities, and community service.

LUCT was established and founded in 1991 by Lim Kok Wing. In 2002, it became the first private college to be recognised as a university college.

As of December 2018, the university had the following campuses:

As of 2022, Limkokwing offers two diploma programs and twenty-two bachelor's degree programs.

In light of the global Black Lives Matter and anti-racism movement, the university was panned for the erection of a billboard depicting its founder, Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing, as the "King of Africa". The billboard generated controversy as former students and staff at the university accused the university of having racist policies, such as not allowing African students to be ambassadors at open days and alleging that school administrators had made racist remarks on several occasions. The controversial billboard was taken down and the university apologised, saying that it "did not condone any discriminatory acts against any particular race". Contrary to allegations, the Ministry of Higher Education has not found strong evidence pointing to racism by senior management of the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology (LUCT).

The institution was accused of issuing fake certificates and failing to meet legitimacy standards in Lesotho. It was followed by police investigation and court cases that showed cases of fraud. However, the Minister of Education and Training Lesotho stated that Limkokwing Lesotho is a legal and legitimate entity recognised by the Lesotho government, and graduates of the university are as well recognised.
