GlobalNxt University (formerly Universitas 21 Global or U21Global) is an accredited university with academic headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The university specialises primarily in management studies.
History
U21Global was formed in June 2001 in Singapore as a joint venture between Universitas 21 and Thomson Learning (which later became Cengage Learning). Universitas 21 consists of a network of universities including University of Melbourne, University of Nottingham, University of Virginia and the National University of Singapore.
In late 2007, Cengage Learning sold its entire 50% in U21Global share to Mauritius-based Manipal Universal Learning International for an undisclosed sum. In 2010, the Universitas 21 shareholding was diluted to 25 per cent, with only 10 universities continuing to hold equity.
In 2012, U21Global was invited by the Malaysia Ministry of Higher Education to re-establish itself in Malaysia as part of the country's strategic drive to become a global educational hub. U21Global was re-established as GlobalNxt University, an accredited university in Malaysia with offices now based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

In addition, the university operates executive programmes in conjunction with industry partners.
