Malaysia is increasingly recognised by students from around
the world as the preferred choice for tertiary and
continuing education. Today, great numbers of bright young
individuals from around the world contribute to the medley
of cultures and languages in Malaysia.
One of the primary reasons for the choice of Malaysia as an
educational centre is its relatively low cost of living, yet
high quality of life. This is augmented by easy
accessibility to the latest state-of-the-art educational
aids and technologies so necessary in the pursuit of
academic excellence in the modern world. In addition,
Malaysia’s multi-racial make-up and welcoming nature make it
easy for students to discover more about the people,
traditions and cultures while pursuing their education.

More that 600 public and private educational institutions
ranging from pre-tertiary to university levels currently exist
in Malaysia. These include excellent homegrown institutions with
numerous foreign affiliations as well as a number of branch
campuses of distinguished foreign universities. A qualification
from these institutions ranks on par with that received at home
campuses.
A number of prestigious Malaysian universities have also made
their mark as centres of scholastic excellence, such as the
International Islamic University and the Multimedia University.
There are also the more established and prestigious institutions
like University Malaya in Kuala Lumpur and Malaysian University
of Science in Penang. In addition, a number of international
colleges and universities have established twinning programmes
with Malaysian institutions and today names such as Monash,
Nottingham and others offer students the choice of completing
their entire course in Malaysia or in countries such as
Australia, New Zealand or United Kingdom.
Among the obvious benefits of undertaking the bulk of any course
in Malaysia are substantial savings without having to sacrifice
the quality of education received.Malaysia has a broad range of
high-quality yet affordable educational options and courses that
are recognized internationally. This has resulted in over
several thousands foreign students from approximately 100
countries studying in Malaysian educational institutions.
Students considering Malaysia as an option for further education
but remain undecided can actually participate in a number of
short-term student tourism programmes in which they are exposed
to the country, its people and the wide variety of educational
choices available. This programme has been extremely successful
in not just providing students with the opportunity to decide on
their education but also with an exciting holiday in one of the
most beautiful and vibrant nations in the world!
