About 250 kilometres of Kuala Lumpur is the Kuantan Campus,1,000 acres of a virtual garden nestled within a valleysurrounded by thick forest. This is where the Medical-Science, Pharmacy, Allied Health Sciences, Nursing and Dentistry faculties are located. Kuantan is the capital city of Pahang, the greenest state in peninsular Malaysia and geographically the largest.
It is one of the main communities on the Malaysian East Coast, famous for its clean white beaches and a favourite destination of both local and foreign tourists. This campus is as well-equipped as the Kuala Lumpur campus.
The phycical facilities feature architectural themes that are generally similar to those of the Kuala Lumpur campus, but there are distinguishing motifs that imbue the Kuantan campus with a character that makes it distinctive and yet remain unseparated from the IIUM order.
