What you need to apply
General country requirements
This entry is general Bachelor’s admission in Malaysia: the university is in the catalogue but its individual programme pages are not verified yet, so the country's general requirements are shown instead.
Check the university’s own page before you plan around it.
Malaysia, bachelor’s
Teaching in Malaysia is almost entirely in English, so the English certificate is the key requirement: EMGS asks you to upload it with the VAL application. You apply to the university, and the student pass is processed by EMGS. An 11-year attestat usually needs a Foundation year first. Medical screening happens both before and after arrival.
With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)
Foundation year
An 11-year attestat is normally short of direct bachelor entry: a one-year Foundation programme comes first, then year one.
Documents
