The Asian Institute of Medicine, Science and Technology (AIMST) University, founded on 15 March 2001, is a private university in Malaysia established by the Maju Institute of Educational Development (MIED), Imbued with the vision of its founders, AIMST is on the road to becoming a premier private sector university in the country and region catering to the needs of local and international students. It aspires to provide quality technical education at affordable costs, in programs covering medicine and health sciences, applied sciences, engineering, computer technology as well as business and management. The curricula for some of the degree programs, especially medicine and engineering, are modeled on that of the University of Bristol in Great Britain.
