Malaysia boasts a growing number of world-class private universities offering homegrown degrees that are internationally recognised. Many of these institutions have risen in the latest QS World University Rankings, demonstrating their commitment to excellence in education. Several private universities have partnerships with prestigious institutions in countries like Australia, the USA, and the UK, providing students with the unique opportunity to earn a degree from these partner universities. Additionally, some students choose to transfer their final year of study to these partner campuses, further enhancing their global educational experience.
Malaysia is home to international branch campuses from renowned universities in the UK, Australia, China, and Japan. Students studying at these campuses receive the identical degree offered at the original campus, but at a fraction of the cost—typically 60% less. Additionally, students have the option to transfer part of their studies to the original campus in the home country, providing a global learning experience while enjoying the affordability and convenience of studying in Malaysia.
Public universities in Malaysia are government-funded institutions, offering quality education at an affordable rate. While they have limited undergraduate spots available for international students, they provide a wide range of postgraduate (PG) programs for those looking to further their education. These programs offer international students the opportunity to earn a degree from one of Malaysia’s top institutions while benefiting from the country's rich cultural diversity and lower living costs.
