students. It offers foundation, diploma, degree\r\nand postgraduate programmes at a lower cost than many universities in the\r\nUnited Kingdom, Australia, Canada and the United States.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\nHowever, the total cost of studying in Malaysia is not limited to tuition.\r\nFamilies must also prepare for accommodation, immigration charges, insurance,\r\nflights, food, transport, medical screening and initial settlement costs.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"vv-quick-answer\">\r\n\r\n<strong>Quick answer:<\/strong> Tuition fees in Malaysia vary according to the\r\ninstitution, programme and study level. Foundation programmes may cost around\r\nRM20,000 to RM31,000, while many diploma and Bachelor's programmes range from\r\napproximately RM34,000 to more than RM100,000 for the full programme. Health\r\nsciences, Medicine and Dentistry normally cost significantly more.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"vv-warning\">\r\n\r\n<strong>Exchange-rate notice:<\/strong> Malaysian universities charge fees in\r\nMalaysian Ringgit.
