Study Abroad Programs in Malaysia

Malaysia is the third-largest island in the world, made up of two parts: peninsular Malaysia and island Malaysia (part of Borneo). Filled with exquisite coral reefs, beaches, and the largest flower in the world, Malaysia is a tropical paradise. This multi-ethnic, multi-religious country is an ideal place to study abroad and explore the wonderful harmony between Islam, Christian, and native populations. Studying abroad in Malaysia is also a very affordable option!

I studied abroad on the spring of 2022 voyage. Doing this voyage absolutely changed my life. In the span of 4 months, we traveled to 14 different countries and fully immersed ourselves in their cultures. This experience truly did change my life. I grew so much and got out of my shell. I gained independence but also met the most amazing friends that I still travel with to this day. I recommend this program to anyone thinking about doing it, you will not regret it!

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Malaysia

Locations

There are three main locations for studying abroad in Malaysia. Each of these locations have distinct qualities and allow for diverse experiences:

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.
