As in many other universities in the country, the academic calendar at UTP is divided into two semesters. But for convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. The tuition fee at UTP for foreign students varies depending on the program and starts from 1,705 USD per year. The educational institution helps with tuition fees through financial support programs. They are available to local and international students. The exact cost of programs and information on the availability of scholarships can be found on the website of the university.
When choosing an educational institution, it is necessary to take into account additional costs: accommodation, transportation, educational materials, meals and personal expenses.
In Malaysia, school education lasts longer than 11 years, so it is not possible to enroll in a bachelor's program immediately after school. First, you need to eliminate the academic difference with the help of one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, IB, Foundation, etc.). The second option is to study for a year at a university in your native country. For admission to a bachelor's program, you must have good grades and successfully pass the entrance exams. Before submitting documents to the university, applicants take an English language exam. The university accepts the results of IELTS or TOEFL. The IB diploma is accepted upon admission.
Master's degree at UTP
The admission committee of the university takes into account the previous academic performance of the student. In order to enroll at UTP for a master's program, you will have to confirm knowledge of the English language. You can do this by passing the exam — IELTS or TOEFL. There is an opportunity for admission to online master's programs at UTP.
UTP campus
The campus of UTP is suburban. Students live in a close-knit community and enjoy the benefits of the natural environment around them. However, they also have access to urban entertainment such as shopping malls, restaurants and cinemas. The educational institution has its own library. Here, students do their homework or just have a good time reading an interesting book.
There are several options to stay in the country after graduation. One of them is to get an offer from an employer and apply for a work visa. Read more about this on the embassy website. Look for more immigration options in our article.
