institutions. These private educational institutions, collaborating with their
foreign university partners in the USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand, have been
playing a vital role in providing a wide range of tertiary programs. Students
enrolled in the programs complete all or part of their studies in Malaysia, and
they can expect significant savings compared to completing the entire course
overseas. There are three main types of programs, namely 3+0, Split and Credit
transfer programs.
- 3+0
program
Students complete the entire program in Malaysia and they will be conferred with a foreign degree, meaning they get a foreign degree at a much lower cost. - Split
programs (2+1, 1.5+1.5, 1+2)
