The concept of continuing education was initially proposed by the late Tan Sri Dr. Abdullah Sanusi Ahmad, who was the Vice-Chancellor of the Universiti Malaya in 1998. Professor Dr. Leonard Yong, a faculty member of the Faculty of Education at the University Malaya, took the initiative to establish the Universiti Malaya Centre for Continuing Education (UMCCed) or Pusat Pendidikan Berterusan Universiti Malaya in Malay. UMCCed was officially established on April 1, 1998, and launched by the late Tan Sri Dr. Abdullah Sanusi Ahmad at Level 2, Bakti Siswa Building, Universiti Malaya.
The purpose of establishing UMCCed was to realize the philosophy of “Lifelong Learning” through the provision of quality programmes, while fulfilling the aspirations of the Universiti Malaya to offer the best educational opportunities for all segments of society. The vision and mission of UMCCed are as follows:
Vision: Attaining UM’s aspirations as a global university by being at the forefront of lifelong learning that is oriented towards the application of advanced, dynamic, and innovative technology in concordance with contemporary revolutions that transcend borders.
Mission: Developing quality and dynamic human capital through high-quality, flexible, and accessible education programmes based on the contemporary digitalisation of technology.
Since its establishment in 1998, UMCCed has relocated its administration several times to ensure smooth governance and to keep pace with current developments. Initially, it operated from the Bakti Siswa Building, then moved to the Institute of Graduate Studies (IPS), followed by Block A, Kompleks Kampus Kota Universiti Malaya. In 2012, UMCCed chose Wisma R&D Universiti Malaya as its administrative location, which is near the main campus of the Universiti Malaya and in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Recently, in early July 2023, Cyberjaya, a city within Malaysia’s Multimedia Super Corridor, was selected as the new strategic location for UMCCed’s administrative operations.
UMCCed offers various academic programmes, including Diplomas for SPM holder and Executive Diplomas, as well as skill enhancement programmes consisting of Professional Certificates and Short Courses in various fields tailored to the needs of individuals in terms of knowledge, skills, professional competence, or personal development. To promote lifelong learning and encourage the participation of working adults, most programmes are offered part-time and tailored to individual and corporate needs. UMCCed also provides training opportunities for international participants through Educational Visits and short courses.
On August 4, 2011, UMCCed achieved a significant milestone by being recognized as an Academic Responsibility Centre (PTj) of the Universiti Malaya by the Ministry of Higher Education. This recognition underscores its excellence as a premier centre for continuing education in the country.

Pendidikan berterusan merupakan satu lontaran idea awal Allahyarham Tan Sri Dr. Abdullah Sanusi Ahmad merangkap Naib Canselor Universiti Malaya pada tahun 1998. Ini membawa kepada tercetusnya penubuhan UMCCed pada 1 April 1998 oleh Profesor Dr. Leonard Yong yang merupakan salah seorang ahli akademik Fakulti Pendidikan Universiti Malaya pada ketika itu.
UMCCed merupakan singkatan daripada Universiti Malaya Centre for Continuing Education atau dalam Bahasa Melayu, Pusat Pendidikan Berterusan Universiti Malaya merupakan sebuah Pusat Tanggung Jawab (PTj) Akademik Universiti Malaya yang menyediakan peluang pendidikan berterusan kepada orang awam, sama ada tempatan mahupun antarabangsa. Penubuhan UMCCed telah dilancarkan sendiri oleh Allahyarham Tan Sri Dr. Abdullah Sanusi Ahmad di Aras 2 Bangunan Bakti Siswa UM. Di lokasi pelancaran itulah UMCCed memulakan operasi pertamanya dengan dibantu oleh 4 orang staf sahaja dan diurus tadbir oleh Profesor Dr. Leonard Yong merangkap pengarah sulung.
Sejak penubuhannya pada 1998, UMCCed telah beberapa kali berpindah lokasi pentadbirannya bagi memastikan kelancaran urus tadbir serta bersesuaian dengan pekembangan semasa. Bermula di Bangunan Bakti Siswa, kemudian ke Institut Pengajian Siswazah (IPS) dan seterusnya ke Blok A, Kompleks Kota di mana kesemua lokasi ini berada dalam kampus utama Universiti Malaya. Pada tahun 2012, UMCCed telah memilih bangunan Wisma R&D sebagai lokasi pentadbiran yang terletak berdekatan kampus utama Universiti Malaya serta di tengah bandar raya Kuala Lumpur. Kini, pada awal Julai 2023 yang lalu, Cyberjaya yang merupakan bandar Koridor Raya Multimedia Malaysia menjadi pilihan berikutnya bagi lokasi strategik baharu untuk pengoperasian pentadbiran UMCCed.
Antara program akademik yang ditawarkan termasuklah Diploma bagi lepasan SPM dan Diploma Eksekutif serta program peningkatan kemahiran yang terdiri daripada Sijil Profesional dan Kursus Jangka Pendek dalam pelbagai bidang yang disesuaikan dengan keperluan individu dari segi pengetahuan, kemahiran, dan kecekapan profesional atau pembangunan diri. Bagi mendorong Pembelajaran Sepanjang Hayat dan menggalakkan penyertaan golongan dewasa yang bekerja, kebanyakan program ditawarkan secara separuh masa dan disesuaikan mengikut keperluan individu dan korporat. UMCCed juga menyediakan peluang latihan kepada peserta antarabangsa melalui Lawatan Sambil Belajar dan kursus pendek.

4 Ogos 2011 merupakan Tarikh keramat bagi UMCCed apabila berjaya mendapatkan pengiktirafan sebagai Pusat Tanggungjawab Akademik (PTj) Universiti Malaya daripada Kementerian Pengajian. Pengiktirafan ini membuktikan kecemerlangannya sebagai sebuah pusat pendidikan berterusan yang unggul di tanah air. Melalui pengiktirafan ini, UMCCed diberikan status autonomi penuh dalam pentadbiran, sumber manusia dan kewangan. UMCCed juga memainkan peranan sebagai PTj yang menguruskan kemasukan program Diploma dan Diploma Eksekutif.
