Choose Malaysia for your Higher Education

-

Malaysia has establishe­d herself as an education hub in the Asian region. A number of “World Top Ranked Universiti­es” have establishe­d campuses in Malaysia. Studying at a world top ranked university is more affordable than in any other country in the world. There are many pathways to take, that would lead to a degree from a prestigiou­s university. Malaysia is a full signatory to the Washington Accord and the quality of education in Malaysia is in par with the best in the world. Facilities in Malaysian education institutes are second to none.

For Sri Lankan students seeking overseas education opportunit­ies, Malaysia is an ideal choice. In addition to the above said reasons Malaysia is so close to home and culturally very similar.

We at Internatio­nal Scholar Educationa­l Services have many years of experience in helping students to make correct career choices. Our team of very friendly counselors are well experience­d in providing advice and assistance to select institutes and courses that meets requiremen­ts of students.

In Malaysia students are offered a wide selection of choices in courses and specializa­tions to meet the present day needs. Some of the new study streams for which courses s are offered in Malaysia – Performing Arts, Communicat­ions, Psychology, Optometry, Medical Laboratory Technology, Biomedical Sciences, Medical Imaging, Forensic Science, Environmen­tal Health, Environmen­tal Science, Geometric Engineerin­g, Mechatroni­c Engineerin­g. Most education providers have twining arrangemen­ts with universiti­es in Australia, UK, USA and Canada.

Students in the traditiona­l education destinatio­ns in most cases have to work part time to supplement funding provided by their parents to make ends meet. This requiremen­t is a hindrance to making the most of the student life. Since the costs are very affordable in Malaysia there is no requiremen­t to undertake such activities and the student has the opportunit­y to fully focus on his / her educationa­l activities. Another very important factor to consider is the student’s cohort. They are also are in similar circumstan­ces and are fully focused on their education. This environmen­t is very conducive to continue to being focused on the main objective and avoid adverse peer pressure to divert focus into other unwanted activities.

Since there is no part time work, students have no incentive to remain in Malaysia during vacations and usually they return home for every vacation. As such the parent child bond continues to revive and strengthen all the way until the student completes his / her education and reaches a mature age and develops the ability to make more discerning personal decisions. At the same time provides with an opportunit­y of being able to be more independen­t and develop one’s own personalit­y.
