The English and Foreign Languages University traces its origins to the Central Institute of English, established in Hyderabad in 1958. The institute was later expanded as the Central Institute of English and Foreign Languages (CIEFL) and was conferred full central university status in 2007, when it was renamed The English and Foreign Languages University. Alongside its main campus in Hyderabad, EFLU operates regional campuses to widen access to specialised language education; the Malappuram campus serves as its presence in Kerala, complementing a similar regional campus at Shillong in the north-east.
As part of EFLU, the Malappuram campus shares the university's overall academic profile, which is centred on:
Kerala has a long tradition of English-language education, and the presence of an EFLU campus in Malappuram provides students and teachers in the state with direct access to programmes of a central university specialising in language studies. The campus contributes to capacity-building among English teachers in schools and colleges in Kerala and neighbouring regions, and supports research in language education within a multilingual Indian context.
