Student Life & Living Experience
Studying in Malaysia isn’t just about academics—it’s about experiencing a vibrant, multicultural society that feels both exciting and welcoming. From delicious halal food and beautiful landscapes to modern cities and friendly locals, international students find it easy to adapt and thrive.

After Graduation
Post-Study Opportunities in Malaysia
Malaysia offers strong post-study pathways for international students. While permanent residency is not guaranteed, graduates of Malaysian universities often find opportunities in multinational companies, regional offices, or continue their education further with postgraduate programs. Certain sectors such as IT, business, and engineering offer short-term employment opportunities to graduates with the right skills and experience.
We also support students in planning their next steps—whether it's applying for postgraduate study, returning home with a globally respected degree, or transitioning to other countries like Canada or Australia.
Affordable Education
Cost of Studying in Malaysia
One of Malaysia’s biggest advantages for international students is its exceptional affordability. Tuition fees are significantly lower compared to countries like the UK, USA, or Australia—often ranging from USD $3,000 to $7,000 per year depending on the institution and program. Living costs are equally reasonable, with monthly expenses for accommodation, food, transport, and utilities averaging $300 to $500.
This makes Malaysia an ideal destination for students and families looking for high-quality education without the high cost. At Study Overseas Education, we help you budget your entire study plan and explore scholarships or fee waivers wherever available.

On average, undergraduate programs range from USD $3,000 to $6,000 per year, while postgraduate programs may range from $4,000 to $8,000 per year depending on the course and university.

Cities like Kuala Lumpur offer modern infrastructure with a wide range of student housing and budget-friendly options.
4. Do I need IELTS to study in Malaysia?
In many cases, IELTS is not mandatory. A large number of Malaysian universities accept students who have studied in English-medium schools or can provide a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter. However, some programs—especially at public universities—may still require IELTS or TOEFL. We’ll guide you based on the specific university’s requirement.
5. How long does the student visa process take?
The Malaysian student visa process is quite fast. Once you receive an offer letter, we apply for your Visa Approval Letter (VAL) through EMGS (Education Malaysia Global Services). The process typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, after which you can fly to Malaysia and complete your visa stamping on arrival.
6. Can I work while studying in Malaysia?
International students in Malaysia are allowed to work part-time (up to 20 hours per week) during semester breaks or holidays. However, work is only permitted in certain sectors like restaurants, petrol stations, mini-marts, or hotels. It’s important to get university approval and follow immigration rules.
7. Are scholarships available for Pakistani students?
Yes, many Malaysian institutions offer merit-based scholarships, tuition fee discounts, or partner institution grants. These are awarded based on academic performance or through special international student schemes. We help you identify scholarship opportunities and assist with the application process.
8. What documents are required for admission?
Basic requirements include: academic transcripts and certificates, a valid passport, passport-sized photos, and proof of English proficiency (if required). Some institutions may also ask for a Statement of Purpose (SOP) and recommendation letters. We provide a complete checklist based on your target university.
9. What are the intakes for Malaysian universities?
Malaysian universities generally have two major intakes:
- February/March
- September/October
Some private colleges offer rolling intakes or quarterly sessions, giving students flexibility. We recommend starting your application process at least 3–4 months in advance.
10. Can I apply for permanent residency in Malaysia after graduation?
Malaysia does not offer a direct post-study permanent residency (PR) route like Canada or Australia. However, you can explore work opportunities after graduation or use your Malaysian qualification to pursue PR options in other countries. Some graduates also continue to postgraduate studies within Malaysia or abroad.
