There are many reasons and motivations for attending university in Malaysia, so ask yourself some serious questions to identify what you want from your university experience.
It goes without saying that one of the most important considerations when it comes to choosing the right university to study in Malaysia is your course of interest and whether that particular university is popular for it. Additionally, many universities in Malaysia may offer the same course but many students fail to consider looking at the subjects, the experience of the university in running the course, awards won as evidence of the university’s capability and the facilities to support the course.
Many students have taken the easy way out and choosing the university that is cheapest, nearest and where most of their friends attend. They fail to understand that what they decide now can affect their future career forever
Why Should You Study at a Top Private University in Malaysia?
Rising Petrol price, high inflation, higher living costs, and an unstable world economy add to all our worries about having enough money to survive. Because of these uncertainties, many students have told me that they want to lessen the burden on their parents by “sacrificing” to study at the cheapest university.
On the other hand, I would disagree with this wrong thinking. Now, we all know the famous Chinese saying that “Cheap doesn’t mean it is good” or you get what you pay for. In addition, I am not saying that if your parents cannot afford for your studies at a private university, you must force yourself. What I am saying is that if your family can afford it, then go for it.
Of course, joining a top private university doesn’t automatically make you rich once you graduate. It is the environment and the opportunities that the university gives you and you take advantage of so that you will increase your chances of success.
Paying a bit more at top private university allows you access to better facilities, an English-speaking environment, qualified lecturers with more experience, better coordinated internships, and activities to help develop your soft skills.
All these, will equip you to be better prepared to face the challenges of a competitive work force. Hence, with the better preparation, you will rise up faster in promotions and therefore achieve higher salary quicker. With solid financial planning, you will become rich faster.
Make the Right Choice to Study at the Best University in Malaysia
Where you study can have an impact on your salary. Though no university in the world, not even Oxford or Cambridge can guarantee you’ll become rich, it can increase your chances of earning a high income in your career.
A top university would have the right systems in place to educate and equip you with the latest knowledge and skills so that you can hit the ground running when you start your job. With those skills, you can then outperform the rest and get promotions faster and command a higher salary.
Universities such as Taylor’s which is ranked Top 4 in the World for Employability, Multimedia University (MMU) has 97% employability within 6 months of graduation according to Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) Tracer Study & MOE Kemaskini Status Pekerjaan 2015 and in the 2018 Tracer Study, Asia Pacific University (APU), had a 100% employability rating for their graduates.
Therefore the university you go to can have a huge impact on your future career in terms of how much you earn. This is simply to highlight the fact that where you study is very important to your career path.
If you’re motivated to earn a high salary, you should be choosing to study at top private universities in Malaysia. Higher education leads to much better earnings than those earned by non-graduates, although students also need to realise that their subject of choice is important in determining how much of an earnings advantage they will have.
Many people will try to advise you on what to study, some would speak with experience and knowledge but most would just simply talk without any experience or evidence to support what they say. It is important to talk to the right people to help you make the best choice with regard to your future.

Choosing a course to study after SPM is not a science, it is a process. Students in Malaysia need to talk to the right education counselors so that you get the right information to help you in making this life-changing decision.
Ask the right Education Counselors in Malaysia to help you. Would you ask a Doctor on how to repair your car? Or would you ask a mechanic for medical advise? Although this sounds ridiculous, but many students do listen to advise from young and inexperienced counselors from universities, colleges or agents’ offices. Talking to an experienced education advisor in Malaysia would help you to navigate through this confusing time of choosing the best course that fits you.
Experienced education counselors are able to analyse your interests, personality and exam results to help you make a list of possible courses for consideration. EduSpiral Consultant Services staff have more than 15 years experience in counseling students. Having worked in the private education industry, we have in-depth knowledge of each private university and college in what they are good at.
EduSpiral Consultant Services has worked with our partner universities and colleges for many years while the counselors at the private universities or agents’ offices change every few years therefore they would not have the in-depth knowledge of the courses and the university that they are working at.
At EduSpiral Consultant Services, I have worked in the private higher education industry in Malaysia for more than 15 years advising students with facts and evidence on how to choose the right course after SPM. You should carefully think about what are the options available to you. To choose the best course that fits you, students may fill up our EduSpiral Career Assessment form for evaluation.
The EduSpiral Career Assessment form is a simple form designed by us that gathers information from students after SPM, O-Levels, UEC, STPM or A-Levels in order to assess their aptitude helping us to determine the most suitable course and career progression.
