With so many universities and colleges in Malaysia offering the accounting degree course, choosing the best university that would equip you with the necessary knowledge and skills will enhance your chances to succeed in the competitive workforce.

The Best Universities in Malaysia to Study Accounting, Finance, Banking & Investment

"I met up with EduSpiral about 4 times in Ipoh & at Asia Pacific University to discuss about my future. He provided me with in-depth information and even arranged for me to meet up with the Head of School at APU to talk to me." Kar Jun, Accounting graduate from Asia Pacific University — “I met up with EduSpiral about 4 times in Ipoh & at Asia Pacific University to discuss about my future. He provided me with in-depth information and even arranged for me to meet up with the Head of School at APU to talk to me.” Kar Jun, Accounting graduate from Asia Pacific University

Presently, Malaysia has about 7.5 million Accountants. The country requires another 60,000 Accountants to fulfill Vision 2020. A career in Accounting can give you high salaries if you are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills. Therefore, you should choose a reputable top university in Malaysia to study the Accounting & Finance degree.

Choosing the best university or college that fits you for the accounting and finance course, you should look at the course content to see if it meets your career goals, ranking of the partner university if you want to work overseas, an English-speaking environment, campus facilities, lecturers’ experience, reputation of the university, student culture at the university, location, fees and internships.

If your command of the English language is weak, it is better to go for the degree in accounting & finance rather than ACCA. During the degree, you can take the 4 years to improve your English and then go for the final 4 or 5 papers of the ACCA after graduating. The degree in accounting will generally obtain exemptions from the ACCA into the final papers.

If you want to work for the Big 4 Accounting Firms – KPMG, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young, you will need to achieve great results and be able to communicate well in the English language. Other top accounting firms in Malaysia that you can work for are BDO, Grant Thornton, Baker Tilly MonteiroHeng, DFK International and Halim & Lee.

Choosing a university to study in Malaysia is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. Your decision will be influenced by many criteria such as the reputation & ranking of the university, accreditation of its courses, course content, the suitability of the course against your academic results and career goals, tuition fees, quality of lecturers, facilities, friends & family, and more.

Look through the course information for the Accounting & Finance degree offered by the university in Malaysia and ask yourself if you can happily spend the next few years of your life committed to this course. Similar-sounding courses can actually end up covering very different areas so you have to make sure that the course covers all the necessary areas of study important to Accounting & Finance.

There will be core subjects that you have to do and optional subjects that you have a choice over – how flexible are these? Can you find lots of modules that sound appealing? So choosing the right course at the right university in Malaysia for you will require some research and consultation with knowledgeable and experienced counselors. The more research you put into the process the more likely you will make the right decision. Doing your homework will ensure that you have chosen the best university in Malaysia that will equip you with the knowledge and skills for a successful career.

I would recommend students who are weak in the English language to go for the accounting degree course first and then only pursue the Professional Papers such as ACCA or CIMA. They are exam-based and marked in the UK.
