I. Level of higher education
Malaysia belongs to the Commonwealth countries, and its education has largely followed the British education system.
There must be a guarantee. Malaysia's higher education implements a unique educational model with a high degree of internationalization-dual system. When students graduate, they get diplomas or degree certificates issued by famous universities in Britain, America, Australia and Canada, which are internationally recognized.
Especially in the fields of commerce, hotel and tourism management, management, computer science, mass communication, engineering and applied science, literature and art, it has the leading level in the world and Asia. Most international courses in Malaysian universities are designed around how to use professional knowledge to solve practical problems, and provide students with a lot of internship opportunities. Therefore, graduates of Malaysian universities are famous for their high quality and strong practical ability. In addition to bachelor's and master's degrees, Malaysian students can also obtain internationally recognized qualification certificates or professional diplomas as a powerful weight for employment.
Second, the education supervision mechanism is sound.
Malaysia has the highest education standards in the world. 1997, the Malaysian government passed the Private Education Act, which provided legal protection for the development of private higher education. At present, there are 10 higher private universities, 4 foreign university branches and 652 private colleges in Malaysia (79 of them offer 3+0, 2+ 1 and other dual courses). Private educational institutions enroll hundreds of thousands of students every year. In order to ensure the quality, the Malaysian Ministry of Education has specially established the Private Education and National Academic Accreditation Agency (LAN) to supervise and standardize the curriculum, tuition fees and teacher level of private educational institutions, regularly evaluate the quality of education, and adopt a quality standard management system to ensure high-quality teaching quality.
Third, the original dual-course higher education system is a springboard for studying in Europe and America.
With the opening up of education, Malaysia introduced the western higher education system and system with little money. Malaysia implements a unique international education model-dual curriculum. Because the procedure of transferring to a third country is simple, it is a shortcut for students from all over the world to enter famous universities in Europe and America. Many domestic students choose to study in Malaysia as a springboard for transferring to European and American universities.
Dual-course or credit transfer course, in essence, is to transfer all (3+0) or part (2+ 1) courses from famous universities in the United States, Britain, Australia and Canada to Malaysian branch schools or cooperative schools, and obtain diplomas and degree certificates issued by famous universities in the United States, Britain, Australia and Canada upon graduation, which is internationally recognized. For example, if you choose 2+ 1 course, you can choose to transfer your second or last year to other Commonwealth countries. When you transfer to a third country (America, Britain, Australia, etc. ), most schools have no requirements for English learning, the amount of guarantee for studying abroad is more than twice as low as that for domestic applications, and the success rate of obtaining visas is much higher. It is equivalent to completing the study abroad program in the above countries at a small cost, so it is very popular among students in China.
4. Low cost, the first choice for working families.
In people's impression, studying abroad has always been considered as the patent of rich children. In fact, the cost of studying abroad in some countries is not high at present, such as Malaysia, which can be said to be the first choice for working families to study abroad. Studying abroad is an educational investment, so it also operates according to certain laws of market economy. It can be said that the relatively low cost of studying abroad without economic security is another main reason why domestic students choose to study in Malaysia in recent years.
The main advantages of "dual courses" in Malaysia's characteristic education model are also reflected here. It enables students to obtain degree certificates from foreign schools at a relatively low cost. The cost (including tuition and accommodation) of studying for a bachelor's degree in Malaysia from famous universities in the United States, Britain, Australia and Canada is about RMB 50,000/year, while the cost of studying for similar courses in the United States, Britain, Australia and Canada is about RMB 7-65,438+0.5 million/year, so students can save 50%-70% of their study abroad expenses. Therefore, the economic burden and psychological burden of students are greatly reduced. In addition, the Malaysian government provides scholarships for outstanding students from developing countries every year, and China students can apply directly to institutions. Studying in Malaysia is very cost-effective and is the first choice for working families.
5. Excellent language environment and English teaching environment.
Malaysia is a Commonwealth country with a high English penetration rate. English is the official language of life and work. All recommended institutions in Malaysia teach in English. Students from senior high schools, vocational high schools, technical secondary schools and junior colleges in China can study in Malaysia without providing English scores. Students need to pass the school English test before entering school, and arrange English learning time according to the test results, which can be long or short.
6. Low entry threshold, loose visa policy and high visa rate.
There are no restrictions on the academic qualifications of international students in China. Students who have graduated from senior two, are studying in senior three, are studying in senior high schools, technical secondary schools, vocational schools, technical schools, college graduates, adult students and self-taught candidates can apply. Starting from 1996, Malaysian students will be recruited from China. At present, the visa policy for international students in China is relatively loose, and no financial guarantee is needed. Many universities in Malaysia adopt the "fast track" visa application procedure, that is, the school applies for an entry approval letter from the Immigration Bureau while receiving international students and issuing admission notices. In addition, you don't need to provide IELTS and TOEFL scores to apply for studying in Malaysian universities. It is easier for students to apply for an entry visa than in other countries, and they can get an entry visa in a short time. The visa procedure for studying in Malaysia generally does not exceed three months, and the success rate of ID card application is as high as 99%/
7. Government support, mutual recognition of academic qualifications between China and Malaysia
After 1997, the Chinese and Malaysian governments formally signed a memorandum on educational cooperation, which opened the prelude to educational cooperation between the two countries. In September 2003, the Ministry of Education of China certified some outstanding Malaysian private colleges, which were recognized by the Ministry of Education of China, and even eliminated the concerns of many students and parents.
