Malaysian Education Fair in Kandy

The Malaysian Education Fair organised by the Malaysian Centre of the International Scholar Education Services (ISEC) Pvt. Ltd. will be held in Kandy on August 14 at the Queen’s Hotel from 1.00 pm to 8.00 pm, with the participation of five prestigious educational institutions from Malaysia.

Malaysia has now become the most sought after education destination for students seeking higher education overseas.

The host institute arranges for the student visas while fees could be paid on a bi-annual basis. Living costs vary from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 25,000.

The flying time to Malaysia is four hours and obtaining visas are quite easy, the ISES said.

Malaysia though a cosmopolitan country, still has similarities with Lankan culture, with the sale of alcohol and tobacco being taboo within the campus premises.

The University of Nottingham has a branch campus in Malaysia close to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Engineering subjects are conducted with Business, Management, Computing and Pharmacy disciplines.

The Swinburne University of Australia too has a branch in Malaysia which is famous for Business and Technical education. It is located at Kuching in Sarawak. KBU International College, established in 1990, offers programmes at Certificate Diploma and Degree level while American degree programmes too are offered where fees are very affordable.

The Kuala Lampur Infrastructure University College (KLICU) offers degrees at Bachelor Level. Diplomas conducted would permit transfer to foreign partner universities with exemption for studies at KLICU.

This College offers specialist subjects such as Automotive Engineering and Geomantic Engineering.
