Public Universities

In Malaysia, there are basically three types of institutions offering tertiary education. There are public universities, private universities and also university colleges granting bachelor or advanced degree. The Malaysian government ensures the quality of its institutions through accreditation with the National Accreditation Board. As a result, universities and university colleges in Malaysia have world class academic standards with qualified lecturers and professors who use innovative teaching methods in the classrooms. Ample research grants given by the government ensure that Malaysian universities maintain their academic excellence and high rankings. High staff to student ratio is another reason for studying in Malaysia.

Public universities in Malaysia are funded by the Government. The undergraduate programs are conducted either in Bahasa Melayu (Malaysia’s national language) or in English depending on the University. However, postgraduates programs are usually in English. Every year the government allocated certain budget for research grants to public universities. A post-graduate student studying a doctorate degree may be able to get research grant or scholarship.
