Overview

Studying abroad is a major decision, so compare the details that affect your education, budget and future plans before choosing a destination.

Four checks to make before applying

  1. Confirm the qualification level: Check the entry requirements and whether the programme leads to the diploma, degree or progression route you need.
  2. Review programme recognition: Ask how the qualification is recognised for further study or employment in Malaysia and your intended destination.
  3. Verify credit-transfer arrangements: Request written confirmation of transferable subjects, remaining study duration and any conditions.
  4. Compare the full cost: Include tuition fees, accommodation, transport, insurance, visa expenses and everyday living costs.
