After

Kolej Ibu Zain (KIZ), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia

Kolej Ibu Zain (KIZ), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), was established in April 1994. The college is named after a prominent independence figure, Ibu Zain, whose real name was Tan Sri Zainun Munshi Sulaiman. She was a distinguished Malay woman known for her gentleness yet firm dedication to uplifting the younger generation through education and empowerment.

As the seventh residential college in UKM, Kolej Ibu Zain can accommodate up to 400 students, providing them with a comfortable and conducive living environment. The college is uniquely built on Bukit Warisan, featuring a resort-style concept that emphasizes a green and serene landscape, creating an ideal atmosphere for learning and personal growth.
In 2008, Kolej Ibu Zain was designated as a center for international student activities and rebranded as the Ibu Zain International Student House (IZISH). However, in 2013, the college reverted to its original name, Kolej Ibu Zain, allowing other residential colleges within UKM to also host international students in line with the university’s internationalization efforts.

In 2017, Kolej Ibu Zain was upgraded to a premier college, further strengthening its role in student development and providing high-quality facilities and opportunities for both local and international students.

Kolej Ibu Zain continues to uphold its legacy by fostering a nurturing, inclusive, and dynamic environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and personally.
