Do I Need to Study English Before Entering University in Malaysia?

Many students believe that applying to Malaysian universities requires an advanced level of English right from the start. In reality, it depends on the university, the major, and the student's current level.


​When Do You Need to Study English?

If you haven't achieved the language score required by the university — such as IELTS or its equivalent — you may need to enrol in a language centre before beginning your academic studies.

Some students also prefer to study English first, even if they already have an acceptable score, in order to build confidence and improve their communication skills before entering university life.



What Are the Benefits of Studying English Before University?
  • Improving speaking, listening, and writing skills
  • Adapting more easily to an international study environment
  • Increasing your chances of academic success
  • Building a network with students from various nationalities

​How Long Does Studying English Take?

The duration varies depending on the student's current level and the goal they're aiming for, and it can range from one month to a full year.


What Are the Most Popular Language Centres in Malaysia?

Among the centres favoured by many international students:

  • Britannia Language Centre
  • EMS Language Centre
  • Sheffield Academy
  • Bright Language Center

How Do I Choose the Right Centre?

The choice depends on several factors, including:

  1. Budget

Explore the differences between shared and private accommodation, costs, and tips to help you choose the best option for your budget and lifestyle.]]>

Student Accommodation in Malaysia 
​Shared or Private?

One of the most common questions students ask before studying in Malaysia is: what is the accommodation like, and is it better to live in shared or private housing?

In reality, most student accommodation options in Malaysia fall into two main categories: shared housing and private housing — and each suits a different budget and lifestyle.

Shared Accommodation in Malaysia

Shared accommodation is the most popular choice among international students, especially at the start of their studies. It is more affordable and gives students the opportunity to meet and connect with others.

Apartments are typically made up of three rooms, and prices vary depending on room size and available amenities:

• Small rooms: Starting from approximately RM 350/month (~USD 75)

• Medium rooms: Around RM 450/month (~USD 95)

• Large rooms or rooms with en-suite bathroom: Starting from RM 700/month (~USD 150)

Prices vary depending on the area, proximity to the university, the building's quality, and the services available.

Private Accommodation in Malaysia

Private accommodation is suited to students who prefer privacy and a quieter environment, where the student lives alone in a studio or private apartment.

This type of accommodation is more expensive than shared housing, but it offers greater comfort and personal space — particularly for students planning to stay for an extended period.

Is Living in Malaysia Expensive for Students?

Malaysia is considered one of the more affordable destinations for students compared to many other study-abroad options.

On average, a student can live in Malaysia on a budget starting from around USD 350 per month, covering accommodation, food, transport, and basic daily expenses — though the amount varies depending on the student's lifestyle and the city they live in.

Which is Better: Shared or Private Accommodation?

The choice depends on your budget and the lifestyle you prefer.

If you are looking for an affordable option and enjoy a social atmosphere, shared accommodation may be the right fit for you. On the other hand, if privacy and a quiet environment are your priorities, private accommodation is likely the better choice.
