STUDY IN MALAYSIA

 

Why Study in Malaysia?

 High Quality of Education To ensure that Malaysian Universities have a good quality standard, the Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA) provides the guidelines and monitors the quality assurance practices and national higher education’s accreditation. Moreover, Kuala Lumpur, the national capital and largest city in Malaysia, held the position  29th position as the best student cities according to QS Top Universities.

As a result, students will graduate with an international standard. Furthermore, employers tend to view graduates with international standard degrees as having better communication skills, independence, intellectual and exposed to a mix of cultures: the combination for a perfect office employee.

Lower Cost of Study and Living : One of the crucial aspects that we have to think about when studying abroad is money. According to QS Top University 2019, Kuala Lumpur rank #2 on the best city in terms of affordability. The average cost of living in Malaysia is only USD 5,000 per year. With such lower cost than other countries, Malaysia still managed to provide Universities that are internationally recognized with great quality study programs.

Let’s take an example from University of Nottingham Malaysia, which is located in Semenyih. Students can learn with the same curriculum as University of Nottingham UK but with lower fees since the Malaysian campus uses MYR while UK campus uses pound sterling. Here we provide some comparison of the same programs from both Universities and their fees:

 Multicultural Environment: The country is a mix of people from all over the world with various number of ideologies, races, languages, tribes, and cultures. The diversity of Malaysia will allow students to improve their understanding of different cultures throughout the world. As a result of its diverse cultures and religions, Malaysians celebrates many national holidays that can expose students to learn about the festivals and experience it live. Another thing that is unique is Malaysia’s own dishes. It’s nothing like you’ve ever tried before! Cuisines from Malaysian, Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern, to Western are easily found here. Local cuisine such as nasi lemak, mee goreng, appam balik, asam laksa, roti canai, and cendol, all are a must-try. They are all easy to find, cheap, and most importantly, they’re delicious!

 Safe and Peaceful Place: Malaysia is located in a geographically safe zone, free from all kinds of natural disasters. It is considered one of the safest countries with a low crime rate. In 2019, Malaysia ranked 16th the safest country in the world according to Global Peace Index (GPI) , up nine places from the previous year. Furthermore, with its modern infrastructure and efficient transportation system, Malaysia makes a safe and comfortable place to live, study, and work.

Job Opportunities for International Students: If you think you cannot earn your money while studying in Malaysia, fret-not since the government allows it! The government allows international students to work part-time for a maximum of 20 hours per week during semester break. However, there are certain restrictions for international students to work in Malaysia. Students are not able to work as a cashier and singers, masseurs, musicians or GRO at a Hotel.

 Pathways to Other International Universities: A huge part of Malaysia’s state investment in higher education is its increasing partnerships with universities overseas. Thus, plenty of private colleges and universities in Malaysia offers a pathway to other international universities in various way.

Sunway University, for example, offers an American Degree Program which allows students to transfer seamlessly to America to complete their studies. HELP University is another example where they offer a UK Degree Transfer Program (Law) that gives students the opportunity to transfer to leading partner universities in the United Kingdom. But, if you preferred to transfer to Australia, Monash University Malaysia offers the program.

 No Language Barrier: The official and national language of Malaysia is Bahasa Melayu (Malaysian Language). However, since Malaysia is so diverse, majority of them are quite fluent in communicating with English. Since they also contain 3 large groups of races: Malay, Chinese, and Indian, they also often use Tamil and Mandarin as their daily/secondary language. Therefore, students can interact with English and also learn new languages if they study in Malaysia.
