As in many other universities in the country, the academic calendar at UPSI is divided into two semesters. But for convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. One year of studying at UPSI will cost local citizens a minimum of 1,133 USD. For foreigners, the tuition fee is different — from 7,500 USD per year. The university provides tuition assistance to some students through financial aid programs. They are available to both locals and foreigners. The exact cost of programs and information on the availability of scholarships can be found on the website of the university.
Also, be prepared for additional expenses: accommodation, transportation, study materials, meals and personal expenses.

Bachelor degree at UPSI
You cannot enter university in Malaysia after the 11th grade, as school education here lasts longer. Applicants need to eliminate the academic difference. There are two ways to do this: either study for a year at a university in your home country, or complete one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, Foundation, etc.).
The suburban campus of UPSI combines features of an urban and rural campus. It is located outside the big city, which allows you to focus on your studies. However, it is also not too far, opening up access to more types of recreation, both outdoors and in the city (theaters, museums, restaurants). The university has a functioning library. In addition to educational materials in various scientific areas, it contains a collection of classical and contemporary literature. The exchange of intercultural experience occupies a special place in training at UPSI. The educational institution regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs and organizes various joint events.
