For mutual benefits, the Technical University Colleges Network (TUCN) of Malaysia was officially formed in March 2006. In February 2007, all four university colleges underwent a rebranding initiative and henceforth emerged as full universities. The universities are UTHM, UTeM, UMP dan UniMAP. Pursuant to this , TUCN is rebranded to MTUN or Malaysian Technical University Network. Subsequentl, in 2015, MTUN is redefined as MTU which is in line with its aspiration towards a consortium.
