We build trust and understanding between people worldwide by enabling them to share ideas and knowledge. We call this cultural relations.
We believe the world is a more stable place when there is more trust and understanding between its peoples. Both the UK and the wider world benefit from the long term relationships we build.
Millions around the world, including teachers and learners, artists and sportspeople, scientists and policymakers, work with us and take part in our projects and programmes.
The British Council was established in 1934 and now operates in 229 towns and cities within 110 countries and territories worldwide working directly with 16.5 million people mainly through our large scale projects, English language teaching and delivery of exams. We employ 1,100 staff in the UK and 6,800 staff in the rest of the world.
We have been operating in Malaysia since 1947. We have centres in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching.
