Quality Education
At INTI, you can be assured of receiving the highest quality of education. Higher education institutions in Malaysia are governed by the Malaysian听Qualifications Agency, which mandates optimal standards for national qualifications听in the country. This proactive initiative by the Malaysian government ensures that all听tertiary educators adhere to strictly set standards to ensure quality education for all.听Some of these standards include mandatory industrial/ executive training programs听thereby giving students both theoretical and practical, real-working experience, a听great plus point.
MBA Availability听
Malaysia houses many business schools that offer MBA programmes. Most schools听also offer collaboration, or what is known as twinning, programmes, which allow听students to pursue MBA degrees from prestigious business school around the world,听locally in Malaysia, including INTI, with strong programmes from Coventry University,听UK. The twinning programmes by INTI are by no means lesser in quality though it is听taught in Malaysia. In fact, students can expect the same superior level of academic听quality and facilities that meet standards from its international counterpart and very听often, also taught by international professors while following an international听curriculum.听
With this, students can pursue degrees from accredited and prestigious business听schools around the world in Malaysia and be awarded an international education听certificate.

MBA Diversity
While it should come as no surprise, Malaysia鈥檚 education industry has thrived over听the last few years and now offers various types of MBA programmes. These听programmes are on par similar to those that can be found globally 鈥 i.e. full-time and听part-time options available, including course work together with academic-based听MBAs.听
Malaysia is a one-stop centre for MBA programmes, offering prospective students听ample choice in selecting specific majors for their MBA. Students also have a wide听variety of majors to choose from such as finance, strategy, marketing, international听business and general MBAs.
Conveniently Located
Malaysia鈥 strategic location in the heart of South East Asia (SEA) with Indonesia,听Singapore and Thailand as it鈥檚 neighbour makes it an attractive and convenient听location to many prospective students. With temperate tropical weather all year-round, Malaysia is also free from most natural disasters, thereby making it a beautiful听and safe country to live. Its friendly and warm people, world-class infrastructure and听undeniably stunning flora and fauna certainly make Malaysia an ideal location for听many.听
A multi-ethnic country, Malaysia enjoys continuous peace and stability. The听government system has been touted by most economies as being one of the most听successful multi-ethnic economies in the world.听
Malaysia values the safety and well-being of foreigners with many help centres and听agencies tasked with monitoring the safety and livelihood of tourists, expatriates, and听foreign students in the country. In 2014, Malaysia introduced the 鈥渋-Kad鈥 system as听part of its commitment to ensure quick, efficient and responsive support is given to听foreign students in the country.
Cost Effective
The average cost of doing an MBA in Malaysia ranges anywhere from USD12,000 to听USD20,000. Living cost for basic necessities including housing, food, leisure and听transport costs is also low in Malaysia. Scholarships are also easily听available to听deserving candidates, where most business schools have scholarship mechanisms听that reward academic excellence.听
Coupled with a relatively affordable cost of living, this makes pursuing an MBA in听Malaysia not only much lower than popular study destinations like US, UK and听Australia, but very attractive. Furthermore, with high quality standards enforced, cost听effectiveness does not come at the price of compromising on education quality.
Good Career Prospects
Malaysia is home to some of the largest companies and brands in the world, such as听Shell, Accenture, Samsung, Mindvalley, HSBC and many other multinational听corporations, all of which are always hungry for great talent. The last few years have听also seen a boom in the start-up space, further supported by the Malaysian听government, which gives students great opportunities work for any of these great听companies.听
Pursuing an MBA will definitely help to further enhance skills, build up your听knowledge and open your opportunities for a potential career change or jump.听Executive and industrial training programmes ensure MBA student have the听opportunity to seek internship with some of these well-known corporations, for听example, technology companies, banks, and international organisations.听
