Destination for international degrees

A major part of Malaysia’s state investment in higher education is its growing partnerships with universities in other countries. Many foreign universities, especially Australian and British, have branch campuses in Malaysia. 

For E.g., Monash University (Australia) and the University of Nottingham (UK), both among the top 100 universities in the world, have branch campuses in Malaysia.

Rapidly improving quality higher education

with other Asian countries such as Hong Kong and Singapore, Malaysian universities are improving rapidly, and aren’t far behind universities that impart world-class education. 

Some of the universities offer courses in computer science and engineering that rank among the world’s top 100 courses, all thanks to Malaysia’s education system and its focus on international standards.

Lower costs of studying and living

The cost of studying and living in Malaysia is comparatively lower than countries such as Australia, the US, the UK, France, Canada, etc.

It’s a win-win situation for international students as they can live comfortably at a cost of about MYR 1100 a month. This includes food, accommodation, and other daily expenses.

Seamless immigration procedures

International students in Malaysia benefit from the easy and trouble-free immigration procedures as compared to other countries which have stricter student immigration procedures.

Job opportunities for students

International students studying in Malaysia are allowed to work part-time for 20 hours per week. Students are encouraged to work in mini markets, restaurants and cafes, hotels, and petrol stations. However, students are not allowed to work as a cashier, singer, masseur, musician, or other such jobs.
