The Pagoh University Town (Malay: Bandar Universiti Pagoh; Jawi: بندر اونيۏرسيتي ڤاڬوه; Chinese: 巴莪大学城) is a new township built around the Pagoh Education Hub (EduHub Pagoh) and is partly developed by Sime Darby Property in Pagoh, Muar District, Johor, Malaysia. It is located next to Pagoh Interchange on the North-South Expressway (NSE) and 20 minutes drive away to the royal town of Muar. ^[1]

The Pagoh Higher Education Hub (HPTP; Malay: Hab Pendidikan Tinggi Pagoh; Jawi: هب ڤنديديقن تيڠڬي ڤاڬوه) is located in Pagoh University Town and stands as the country's first and largest public higher education hub.

The concept for the university town of Pagoh drew inspiration from similar international models, such as Qatar Education City and the Science and Technology Park (Qatar Education City). This initiative was championed by Y.A.B. Tan Sri Dato’ Dr. Muhyiddin Muhammad Yassin^[2] during his tenure as the 10th Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, with operations anticipated to commence in mid-2016.^[3][4][5]

The development of the Higher Education Hub began on June 24, 2011, following approval from the Cabinet Council. The project was executed through a Private Fund Initiative (PFI-BLMT). The Inauguration and Groundbreaking Ceremony ^[6] was officiated by Y.A.B. Tan Sri Dato’ Dr. Muhyiddin Muhammad Yassin, who was then the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education of Malaysia, at Ladang Lanadron, Panchor, Muar, Johor, on September 15, 2011.

The University Development Master Plan for HPTP was designed to support the objectives of the participating public universities and polytechnics, with a focus on development and projections spanning the next 10 to 20 years.^{[7][8][9][10]}

HPTP spans over 200 hectares and hosts four educational institutions, including three public universities and a polytechnic^[11][12]

The variety of core studies offered by these institutions, with an estimated student population of 7,500, has significantly boosted the socioeconomics of the surrounding area.^[13][14][15]
