Education System
Malaysia's education system is regulated by the Ministry of Higher Education and the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), which accredits both public and private institutions.
Many Malaysian universities and colleges offer twinning programs and franchise degrees in partnership with universities in the UK, Australia, and the US, allowing students to complete part of their studies locally before transferring overseas.
Degree structures follow the standard international model: diploma and foundation programs, bachelor's degrees (3-4 years), and postgraduate study, with particular strength in business, engineering, IT, and hospitality.
