Before you choose Malaysia
Graduate Pass: not open to Bangladeshi graduates
Malaysia’s 12-month Graduate Pass covers listed nationalities only, and Bangladesh is not one of them. To work after graduating you need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass, from RM5,000 a month. Think of Malaysia as a place to earn a well-known degree at low cost, not as a migration route.

Curriculum and assessmentWhat you’ll study, and how you’ll be assessed
What and how you’ll study
- Every programme worth taking is accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency and listed on the Malaysian Qualifications Register. Accreditation is granted programme by programme, so check your exact programme, not just the university name.
- Branch campuses of Monash, Nottingham, Curtin, Swinburne and Heriot-Watt teach the parent university’s curriculum and award the parent university’s degree at a fraction of the home fee.
- Private universities also run 3+0 franchised degrees (the whole foreign degree delivered in Malaysia) and twinning programmes that split study between Malaysia and the partner country. The overseas leg needs that country’s student visa.
- Get written confirmation of the awarding institution and that your mode of study is full-time on campus: India, Pakistan and Bangladesh restrict equivalence for franchised or distance-mode awards.
How you’ll be assessed
| Continuous assessment | Assignments, quizzes and case studies, typically 40–60% of the mark |
|---|---|
| Final examinations | End of semester; branch campuses often use the partner university’s papers |
| Labs and placements | Engineering, science, pharmacy and nursing |
| Final-year project | A supervised capstone or dissertation at honours and master’s level |
| External moderation | Foreign partners moderate marks; MQA audits the programme |
K-12
We don’t place school-age students here
Higher education only
Luminous places school-age students in Canada and New Zealand only. International schools teach Cambridge, IB and American curricula, with 2026 fees from roughly RM 12,000 to RM 105,000 a year. Family accompaniment is tightly restricted: dependant passes are normally only for full-time postgraduate students on programmes longer than 12 months, with undergraduates eligible only on a listed set of nationalities. Children aged 7–18 on a dependant pass need Permission to Study before enrolling. For Malaysia we can answer general questions, but we don’t handle school admissions here.
Where we place children →Costs & workWhat it costs
| Tuition (UG) | RM 25,000–75,000 / yr (medicine much higher) |
|---|---|
| Tuition (PG) | RM 25,000–60,000 for a taught master’s |
| EMGS and visa fees | RM 1,500–2,500 in year one; renewal about RM 900 |
| Insurance and medical | RM 500–800 insurance + RM 250–350 screening |
