If you plan to further your studies in UK, make sure you check UKEC website.The United Kingdom and Eire Council for Malaysian Students (UKEC) or the Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar Malaysia di United Kingdom dan Eire (MPPM UK Eire) is the national coalition of the Malaysian Students Societies in the universities and colleges in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. UKEC was officially established in 1995, under its old name, the UK Executive Council for Malaysian Students. In the year 2006, the UKEC Supreme Council amended the constitution and UKEC’s name to include the Republic of Ireland or Eire.

The history of UKEC actually had a precedent which stretches all the way back to the early 1960’s. Back then the official body for the coalition of the Malaysian Students Societies in UK was the MPPM UK, which was the Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar Malaysia di United Kingdom. MPPM as a coalition ended by mid 1980’s. After almost 10 years of silence, a new coalition was revived under the UKEC name, and the rest, as they say, was history.
