“Malaysia – Truly Asia” is a quote that is being frequently used by many tourism related advertisements. Malaysia since of the recent past has always projected itself as a well developed country in Asia and one of the fastest developing countries in the world.

They have managed to achieve this development also maintaining their own traditional Asian charm and values. This development is truly reflected in the sphere of education too in no small measure. Malaysia is striving hard and is showing results in its efforts to provide excellent education at all levels.

It is in these contexts that most parents from Sri Lanka and other South Asian countries prefer to send their children to do tertiary studies in Malaysian universities. Sri Lanka being in quite close proximity too gives weightage to this decision.

There are also other factors parents consider when selecting Malaysian universities for their children. Affordable tuition fees and living cost compared to many developed countries, many Malaysian universities having reached international recognition with regard to quality of courses on offer and research capabilities of the universities are other major factors in favour of these decisions. Most universities in Malaysia offer excellent courses under twinning arrangements with many high ranked universities around the world enabling students to obtain valuable degrees at a lesser cost and also do part studies in Malaysia before joining university proper in other countries like Australia, UK, USA and New Zealand. English being the main language for the education sector in Malaysia at secondary and tertiary levels make Malaysia more attractive than China for international students as the quality of academics are of the same high quality as those of highly ranked universities. The universities are also able to attract good academics from leading universities to undertake teaching.

Edlocate represents 4 excellent universities in Malaysia, where 3 universities are located in Subang, which is just 15 to 20 minutes away from the capital Kuala Lumpur. Of these 4, Monash University’s, Sunway Campus located in Subang has direct transfer arrangements with the Monash University which is a Go8 university of Australia for all their courses. Hence many international students are keen to graduate eventually from Monash Australia choose Monash Sunway as a pathway to pursue their studies in Australia. Of the many courses offered by Monash in Malaysia the ones with the most appeal are Engineering, Medicine, Commerce, IT and Science. There are also scholarships available for students with 3’A’s in their Advanced Level. Swinburne University’s Sarawak Campus is located in Kuching offers more campus atmosphere with a relaxed environment.

This mainly helps international students to easily settle down with lesser living costs. Swinburne has the highest number of Sri Lankans studying in the university and many of them tend to complete their entire studies in Malaysia and graduate with a degree from Swinburne in Australia.

This is mainly because of the level of facilities available, exposure to industry and practical experience provided to be work ready on graduating are very much similar to those provided by Swinburne in Australia. Some students prefer to study two years in Australia at Swinburne in Melbourne and use studies at Sarawak campus as a pathway to Australian campus. Most popular courses for Sri Lankan students at Swinburne in Malaysia are Engineering, Commerce, IT and Design. Edlocate can assist students with 3’A’s in Advanced Level to win handsome scholarships on offer.

Edlocate also represents Taylor’s University and INTI University both located in Subang. Both of these have excellent twinning arrangements with many high ranked universities in Australia, New Zealand, UK, USA etc.

The full range of courses of traditional universities is offered at both these universities with many students keen on Hospitality and Mass Communication selecting to study especially at these two universities. Scholarships are also available for students with excellent Advanced Level results.

Edlocate counsellors have visited the universities and thus have firsthand knowledge to properly guide students on the best course of action to be taken to fulfil their dream of establishing a good future as professionals.

We are especially equipped to assist students who wish to transfer to Australian institutions following part studies in Malaysia as we represent 18 Australian universities. Hurry and apply now for the February 2013 intake as application deadlines are drawing near.
