Study in Malaysia from Pakistan: 2027 guide
Malaysia has become one of the most practical study abroad destinations for Pakistani students. Degrees are taught in English, tuition is a fraction of UK, US or Australian fees, and the student visa is handled through a single government agency, Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS).
Why Pakistani students choose Malaysia
Public universities such as Universiti Malaya and UTM, and private universities such as Taylor's, Sunway and APU, offer recognised bachelor's, master's and PhD programmes. Foreign branch campuses of Monash, Curtin, Nottingham, Southampton and Reading award the same degree as their home campus. Halal food, mosques on campus and a large Pakistani community make the move easier for students and parents.
How much does it cost to study in Malaysia?
Typical bachelor's tuition is about USD 2,500 to 5,000 a year at public universities and USD 6,000 to 9,500 at private universities. A single student usually spends around RM 2,000 a month on rent, food and transport. Our Course Finder lists published fees for more than 1,100 programmes.
Entry requirements for Pakistani students
FSc, ICS, ICom and A-Levels are accepted for direct entry to many bachelor's degrees. Students with Matric or O-Levels usually start with a one-year foundation programme. Most universities ask for IELTS 5.5 to 6.0 or an equivalent, although some accept other English proof.
