Providing Quality Education Since 2001
TIMES Global Education originated from the EDS Management Academy, established in Penang, Malaysia, in 2001. The academy aimed to deliver high-quality degree programs and executive development training for working professionals. Following a successful launch in Penang, the academy expanded its operations to Kuala Lumpur and subsequently to countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines, Myanmar, and Pakistan.

Our innovative, hands-on approach to education is exemplified by our unique programs, including the Premier DBA, Premier MBA, Elite iMBA, and MBA Masterclass Certifcate, delivered through our study-abroad Residential Colloquium.
TIMES Global Education is accredited by the International Education Accreditation Council (IEAC), a global authority in educational quality assurance. This prestigious accreditation reaffirms our commitment to providing world-class education that adheres to the highest international standards.
Led by the visionary Dato Dr. Ben Lee, who embodies the values of hope, courage, passion, mindfulness, and integrity, our institution has earned numerous awards for its outstanding executive development training and higher education programs over the past two decades.
