Malaysia
The Federation of Malaysia, in total about the same size (329,750 square kilometres) is in Southeast Asia and comprises two regions: Peninsular Malaysia (11 states) and the Island of Borneo (which includes two states, Sabah and Sarawak). The landscape ranges from coastal plains to hills and mountains, as well as lovely sand beaches. Trees cover nearly three-quarters of the total area. The capital city is Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysia is known as one of the safest, most tolerant, easiest to manage countries in Asia. The cost of living in Malaysia is exceptionally low for a newly industrialised country. Kuala Lumpur has in fact been ranked as the most affordable student city to live in as recently as 2014. Housing/renting, food, and eating out are very reasonable, and taxes are relatively low.
Malaysia is the world’s 11th most popular study destination according to UNESCO figures, Malaysia has even grander ambitions, aiming to be the sixth-largest education provider with a target of gaining 200,000 international students.
There are two types of tertiary education in Malaysia: government-funded and private higher educational institutes. There are also many prestigious British and international branch campuses operating in Malaysia. English is the dominant language of instruction.
The living standard in Kuala Lumpur (KL) is in general quite high. Malaysia has a good health care system, good hospitals, good international schools, excellent highways, and modern communication systems.
"For most students, on average tuition is $4,000 USD per year. But bear in mind that only institutions themselves will be able to provide current and accurate programme costs., and a monthly budget of $469USD will provide them with a rather comfortable living in Malaysia.
International students can work part-time in Malaysia under strict guidelines whereby they can work only during semester breaks for a maximum of 20 hours a week.
