Frequently asked questions
Can I study in Malaysia without IELTS?
Some programmes accept other proof of English, such as an institutional English test, or let you start with an English course first. Tell us your results and we will check which options are open to you.
When are the intakes?
Many private universities, including MAHSA University, take students in January, May and September. We recommend applying at least three months before your intake so EMGS processing is complete in time.

Students at public universities and private higher education institutions can apply for permission to work part-time, up to 20 hours a week, at approved workplaces such as restaurants, hotels and campus jobs. Approval is at the discretion of the Immigration Department.
