Country planning

A better next step.

Country planning

Entry requirements

  • Undergraduate: Recognised pre-university qualification, course-specific score, subjects and English requirements.
  • A foundation pathway and direct degree entry have different conditions.
  • Postgraduate: Relevant recognised bachelor's degree and programme-specific academic or experience requirements; research admission also depends on proposal and supervision.

Country planning

Teaching language & tests

  • English is widely used, but verify the full course's language and accepted evidence with the institution.

Country planning

Major intakes

  • Programme calendars vary.
  • Monash Malaysia lists February, July and October for selected undergraduate programmes; not every course is available in every intake.

Country planning

Tuition & fee planning

  • Monash Malaysia quotes 2026 international annual tuition of RM51,840 for Bachelor of Business and Commerce and RM54,720 for Bachelor of Computer Science.
  • Its fee page separately flags a 6% service tax on relevant international tuition/fees; confirm the full payable amount.
Plan beyond tuition

Include tuition, accommodation, food, transport, health cover, travel, visa charges, deposits and required financial evidence. Confirm currency, annual increases and refund conditions. Do not assume part-time work will fund your education.

Scholarships: a separate timeline

Ask about university, government, programme and research funding. Awards have their own eligibility and closing dates and may cover only part of your costs. No scholarship is guaranteed by a counselling or application service.

Opportunity, with context

Understand the rules before making the move.

Student immigration

  • Use the institution and EMGS Student Pass process.
  • Confirm the required approval, passport, medical and arrival stages before travelling.

Work and future scope

  • EMGS describes up to 20 hours/week only during qualifying semester breaks/holidays, in approved settings and with prior Immigration approval.
  • It is not an ordinary term-time earnings entitlement.

Career outcomes depend on skills, experience, language, recognition, local demand and employer decisions. A degree is not a job, visa or permanent-residence guarantee.

Undergraduate: Recognised pre-university qualification, course-specific score, subjects and English requirements. A foundation pathway and direct degree entry have different conditions. Postgraduate: Relevant recognised bachelor's degree and programme-specific academic or experience requirements; research admission also depends on proposal and supervision.

How much does it cost to study in Malaysia?

Monash Malaysia quotes 2026 international annual tuition of RM51,840 for Bachelor of Business and Commerce and RM54,720 for Bachelor of Computer Science. Its fee page separately flags a 6% service tax on relevant international tuition/fees; confirm the full payable amount.

When should I apply to universities in Malaysia?

Programme calendars vary. Monash Malaysia lists February, July and October for selected undergraduate programmes; not every course is available in every intake. A start month is not an application deadline. Check your exact programme and scholarship closing dates, then allow time for documents and immigration processing.

Can I work while studying or after graduating in Malaysia?

EMGS describes up to 20 hours/week only during qualifying semester breaks/holidays, in approved settings and with prior Immigration approval. It is not an ordinary term-time earnings entitlement.
