Priced for this course · International students

UCSI publishes this figure without stating which year it applies to, so it may already be out of date. Treat it as a starting point and check the course page for the current rate. Flag it below if you know it has changed.

UCSI publishes separate approximate total-fee figures for Local Students (RM86,820) and International Students (RM103,881 recorded here), both for the pathway "without bridging course"; a higher figure applies "with bridging course" for students who need one. Both figures on the page carry the unexplained parenthetical label "(TVET Module)", which is reproduced as printed since the page does not explain what it refers to. The page states these are estimates only ("different countries have different visa processing charges and administrative fees") and that, per Malaysian government tax regulation effective 1 July 2025, a 6% service tax applies to non-Malaysian citizens on top of published fees. No academic year is stated.

How UCSI compares

Against the other universities in Malaysia on StudyPath, using each one's verified international fees and its own published housing prices. Universities are only compared with others charging in the same currency (and, for housing, for the same period), so no figure here has been converted. A ~ marks a year worked out from a per-term or whole-course fee.

UCSI's lowest undergraduate fee for international students is ~MYR 23,150 a year, for Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours). Of the 19 other universities in Malaysia we list with undergraduate fees in MYR, 10 charge more at their lowest, 9 charge less. Their lowest undergraduate fees run from ~MYR 7,000 (UTeM) to MYR 56,200 (NUMed Malaysia).

Student housing. UCSI's own lowest published rate is MYR 2,800 per semester. Of the 3 other universities in Malaysia we list that publish housing per semester in MYR, 3 charge less. Their lowest published rates run from MYR 550 (UniKL) to MYR 1,890 (UTeM).

Accommodation

MYR 2,800–MYR 7,200per semester

Room in UCSI University’s on-campus Residential Halls (Blocks D and E), per person for a long semester. The rate card is the one UCSI still links from its accommodation page, but its tenancy periods are the January and May 2023 semesters, so treat it as indicative.

  • Room type D (twin-sharing, common bathroom)MYR 2,800
  • Room type B2MYR 3,000
  • Room type A2MYR 3,600
  • Room type D1MYR 4,000
  • Room type C1MYR 6,400
  • Room type B1MYR 6,800
  • Room type A1/EMYR 7,200

The cheapest figure is a twin-sharing room with a common bathroom, the dearest a single room with its own bathroom and pantry. A short semester costs about half. A booking fee of RM1,000 for Block D or RM2,000 for Block E is payable on application and becomes a refundable deposit once a semester’s rent is paid. The rate card UCSI publishes still carries 2023 semester dates, so check the current figure with the accommodation office before budgeting.

Published by the university itself, not a live listings price. Actual cost depends on room type, availability and when you apply.

Work during study

Student Pass holders — but only those studying at a Public University (UA) or a Private Higher Education Institution (IPTS); holders at a language centre, training/skills centre or other accredited centre are not eligible at all — may work part-time during their study period, limited to 20 hours per week, and only at approved kinds of location: restaurants, petrol stations, mini markets, hotels, and university/college areas. Students may not work front-desk roles (in line with the Immigration Department's general foreign-worker policy) or as student recruitment agents. Working requires prior approval: the student's institution must endorse the application (stating the work-permission request, semester schedule and holiday dates) and submit it, with a job offer letter, to the Student Pass Unit at Immigration Department headquarters or a State Immigration Office, and approval is at the Department's discretion. A Student Pass is revoked if these conditions are violated.

Post-study work visa

Graduate Pass (a Social Visit Pass for recent graduates) . Up to 1 year
A Social Visit Pass, administered through Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS, the Ministry of Higher Education's own visa-processing agency), that lets an eligible international graduate stay in Malaysia for a year after graduation to travel and work in permitted job sectors without needing an employer sponsor. It is open only to graduates of a Bachelor's degree or higher who held a valid Student Pass, provide their institution's letter of course completion, have a passport valid at least 18 months, hold active health insurance for the Pass's duration, and provide a personal bond with a Malaysian citizen as sponsor earning at least RM1,500 a month; applicants must have no legal convictions in Malaysia. Critically, the Graduate Pass is not open to every nationality: EMGS publishes a specific list of eligible nationalities (which, as of this reading, includes Australia, Canada, China, Germany, India, Japan, the UK, the US and roughly two dozen others but not every country StudyPath’s students come from), and the extension of eligibility to Chinese and Indian nationals specifically is stated to run only until 31 December 2026, decided case-by-case and requiring a letter of good conduct from the student's institution or embassy — a graduate from a country not on the list, or applying after that date as a Chinese or Indian national without the extension being renewed, would need to check current eligibility directly.

Route to permanent residence

Malaysia does not publish a general points-based or skills-based route from student or graduate status directly to permanent residence the way several other countries on StudyPath do. The Immigration Department's own Residence Pass page lists the only categories that pass covers — family ties to a Malaysian citizen (spouse, child, parent, parent-in-law) or to a Malaysian Permanent Resident (spouse or child), and former Malaysian citizens seeking to return — none of which is a study- or employment-based category. The closest published route for a working graduate is the Residence Pass-Talent (RP-T), introduced by Talent Corporation Malaysia Berhad (TalentCorp, a Ministry of Human Resources agency) together with the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Immigration Department: a renewable 10-year pass, granted to a foreign professional (not a student directly) who has already worked in Malaysia for at least 3 consecutive years on a valid Employment Pass, filed Malaysian income tax for at least the last 2 years, earns a basic monthly salary of at least RM15,000, holds a degree or diploma or a recognised professional/competency certificate, and has at least 5 years' total work experience. RP-T removes the need to stay tied to one employer and lets a holder's spouse work without a separate Employment Pass, but it is a long-term work-and-live pass, not the same status as Malaysian Permanent Residence (Permit Masuk) itself — the naturalisation clock described under citizenshipRoute below runs from the date of holding Malaysia's actual Permanent Resident Identity Card (MyPR), a distinct, discretionary status StudyPath found no general published route to.

Route to citizenship

Malaysian citizenship by naturalisation is granted under Article 19 of the Federal Constitution and administered by the National Registration Department (JPN), part of the Ministry of Home Affairs. For an applicant aged 21 or above, JPN's own published conditions require that the applicant has resided in the Federation for a total period of not less than 10 years in the preceding 12 years, including the 12 months immediately before the application, intends to reside permanently in the Federation, is of good character, has adequate knowledge of the Malay language, and is sponsored by two Malaysian citizens aged 21 or above who are not related to the applicant and are not paid to act as sponsors. Separately, the Ministry of Home Affairs' own citizenship page states that this residence period is calculated from the date the applicant started holding Malaysia's Permanent Resident Identity Card (MyPR) — so the clock only starts once the discretionary Permanent Resident status described under residencyRoute has already been granted, not from arrival or from Student/Employment Pass status. This project could not find an official JPN or Ministry of Home Affairs page stating directly whether a naturalising citizen may keep their original nationality or must renounce it; the pages archived for this entry describe only the separate, opposite process by which a Malaysian citizen may voluntarily renounce Malaysian citizenship (Article 23(1)) — so no claim about dual citizenship is made here pending a source that states it directly.

New entry added 19 August 2026. Four Malaysian government domains accepted as a government source here: imi.gov.my (the Immigration Department of Malaysia itself, for the Student Pass and Residence Pass rules), educationmalaysia.gov.my and its visa.educationmalaysia.gov.my subdomain (Education Malaysia Global Services, EMGS — the Ministry of Higher Education's own agency for processing international-student visas, administering the Graduate Pass; a government agency on a.gov.my domain, the same class of source as studyaustralia.gov.au elsewhere on StudyPath), jpn.gov.my (National Registration Department, the actual citizenship-granting authority) and moha.gov.my (Ministry of Home Affairs, JPN's parent ministry, whose own page states the MyPR-based residence-clock rule). A fifth domain, talentcorp.com.my, was also added: Talent Corporation Malaysia Berhad describes itself on its own site as 'a Ministry of Human Resources (KESUMA) agency', and its Residence Pass-Talent visa was 'introduced by TalentCorp in April 2011 together with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA) and the Immigration Department of Malaysia (JIM)' per its own page — a government talent agency administering an immigration scheme jointly with the immigration authority, the same class of exception already made on StudyPath for Germany's make-it-in-germany.com and France's campusfrance.org, both non-.gov domains run by the state. inDemandOccupations is left null: no Malaysian government page found publishes a shortage-occupation or priority-sector list gating a specific visa the way Canada, Australia, the UK or Germany do; the RP-T's own salary/experience bar is a general skilled-talent threshold, not an occupation list. naturalisationStatus set to 'published-route': JPN's Article 19 page states real, followable criteria (10 of 12 years' residence counted from the MyPR date, sponsors, language and character requirements), even though — as stated above — the route to Permanent Resident status itself, which starts that clock, is not published with general criteria a student could plan around the way it is in most other countries on StudyPath. citizenshipTerms records 10 years as JPN publishes it. Per the Ministry of Home Affairs page described in citizenshipRoute, that period is counted from the date the applicant began holding the Permanent Resident Identity Card (MyPR), so the clock starts only after Permanent Resident status has already been granted. dualCitizenshipAllowed is null: no JPN or Ministry of Home Affairs page found states whether a naturalising citizen may keep their original nationality. studentVisaFunds deliberately left empty, 19 August 2026, after checking: Malaysia publishes no minimum sum a student must show. The Immigration Department's own Student Pass page asks only for "Proof of financial capability (latest 3-month bank statements, scholarship/embassy sponsorship letters" with no amount attached, and EMGS’s required-documents guidance does the same. The one fixed sum in the process is the Personal Bond, and it is not a maintenance requirement: it is a bond the education institution signs on the candidate’s behalf binding the institution for a specified sum, refunded on completion or withdrawal, and its value is set per nationality rather than per student. Recording it here would misdescribe both what it is and who it applies to.
