Study Abroad Programs Malaysia

Johor Bahru. If you’re looking to learn about the environment or development, this city is an excellent choice. Right across the border from Singapore, this city used to be a small fishing village but now is focused on the tourism industry.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital, is a sprawl of bright lights and urban opportunity. Many people throughout Malaysia look to it as the land of opportunity because there are many educational and employment possibilities in Kuala Lumpur. The city is filled with the typical characteristics of Asian cosmopolitan life, from large shopping malls, to nightlife, to delicious Asian cuisine.

Borneo. With incredibly diverse ecology and animal life, study abroad programs in Borneo will most likely take you outside the classroom and into your natural surroundings. Borneo’s rainforest is the oldest in the world and is the only place you can find apes in Asia (the orangutan)! This is also where you’ll find Southeast Asia’s highest peak, Mount Kinabalu.

I just studied abroad with SAS in spring of 2025. To say this experience changed my life would be an understatement. I cannot recommend this enough. The learning opportunities are amazing, the staff and faculty do everything they can to make this your home away from home, and the traveling experiences are ONCE IN A LIFETIME!

BEST 4 MONTHS EVER!!!

When I completed Semester At Sea in the fall of 2024, it was my first time traveling over seas. Growing up going on cruise’s I was super excited to start this new journey on the floating campus. Going in knowing no one else I was nervous but soon felt so welcomed, the community on the ship is amazing. Getting to travel the world with other college kids that have the same interest as you is such a wonderful experience. The professors and other staff members are there to make your learning come to life and it was magical to watch that happen, exploring your learning in each country was eye opening. Not only getting to explore a country but 10 countries allowed for a broad variety of cultures that we get to dive into and explore was so rewarding. I would 1000% go on Semester At Sea again and would recommend it to everyone if you’re deciding to study abroad.
