新紀元大學學院是馬來西亞華人社會多年來創辦民辦高等教育的成果。1998年創校以后，新紀元歷經多年奮斗，終于在2016年12月30日獲得高等教育部批準由學院升格為大學學院，迎來更大的發展格局。

新紀元大學學院目前設有7個學院與10個科系。7個學院為研究生院、國際教育學院、文學與社會科學院、電腦科學與資訊科技學院、媒體與藝術學院以及會計、管理與經濟學院、樂齡服務與管理學院。10個科系則是中國語言文學系、教育系、輔導與咨商心理學系、東南亞系、商學系、金融與會計系、資訊科技系、美術與設計系、戲劇與影像系以及媒體研究系。除了學士和專業文憑課程，新紀元大學學院已開設碩士和博士課程。

2015年，新紀元大學學院成立陳六使研究所，進一步強化本校的華人研究以此出發，放眼東南亞華文教育，與世界接軌。我們期盼有朝一日做到“起步新紀元、立足東南亞、放眼全世界”的目標，在馬來西亞華文教育基礎上，辦好一所大學。

The New Era University College started as New Era College in 1998. The college was the outcome of many years of effort and unwavering support from the Chinese community. On 30 December 2016, New Era was upgraded to university college status by the Ministry of Higher Education. With that NEUC is now ready and able to play an even bigger role as a provider of quality community-orientated tertiary education to serve not only the needs of the community, but also that of the whole nation.

Our university college currently has seven faculties comprising of the Graduate School, Institute of International Education, Arts & Social Sciences, Computer Science and Information Computing Technology, Media & Creative Arts, and Accountancy, Management and Economics, Institute of Ageing and Professional Care. Within these faculties are ten departments: Chinese Language & Literature, Education, Guidance & Counselling Psychology, Southeast Asian Studies, Business Studies, Finance & Accounting, Information Computing Technology, Art & Design, Drama & Visuals and Media Studies. The faculties offer Diploma as well as undergraduate and post-graduate degrees up to Master’s and PhD levels. To promote research on Chinese education in New Era UC, the Tan Lark Sye Institute was formed in 2015.

It is the hope and the vision of New Era University College that it would make a strong impact and presence not only in Malaysia but also globally as a reputable and leading university rooted in Chinese education.
