GlobalNxt University began in 2001 as U21Global, a joint venture between the Universitas 21 network of research universities and Thomson Learning, based in Singapore. The Manipal Education and Medical Group took a stake in 2007, and in 2012 the university relocated to Kuala Lumpur under Malaysia's Ministry of Higher Education, becoming GlobalNxt University. It traded as Manipal GlobalNxt University from 2018 until May 2025, when the ministry approved a return to its original name.

All of GlobalNxt's programmes are accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency, and the university holds a full licence from Malaysia's Ministry of Higher Education. It is listed in the World Higher Education Database maintained by the International Association of Universities under UNESCO, and its qualifications are recognised by World Education Services and the International Qualifications Assessment Service for study or work abroad.
