Why Bangladeshi students choose INTI International University in Malaysia

Every year, a large number of Bangladeshi students choose Malaysia over other destinations mainly because of cost, ease of visa processing, and recognized qualifications. Within Malaysia, INTI stands out for a few specific reasons:

Long-standing institution: With decades of experience, INTI has built a reputation for career-focused education rather than purely theoretical learning.
Industry connections: The university has partnerships with hundreds of companies, which translates into internship opportunities, guest lectures, and industry-relevant coursework.
Pathway to study abroad: Through its network affiliations, students can often start a degree at INTI and transfer credits to complete their studies at a partner university in the UK, US, Canada, or Australia.
Multicultural campus: INTI hosts students from many nationalities, which gives Bangladeshi students exposure to a genuinely international learning environment rather than a single-nationality bubble.
Lower cost of living: Compared to Bangladeshi students studying in the UK, US, or Australia, the overall cost of tuition and living in Malaysia is considerably lower, while the degree remains internationally recognized.

INTI International University entry requirements for Bangladeshi students

Admission requirements at INTI International University vary depending on your study level and chosen programme, so it's important to know exactly where you stand before applying. Here's a breakdown of what Bangladeshi students typically need at each level of study.

Foundation and pre-university entry requirements

Most Bangladeshi students entering directly after HSC apply through a foundation program. General requirements typically include:

Completion of SSC and HSC (12 years of education)
A satisfactory academic result in relevant subjects
A minimum IELTS score of around 5.0, or an equivalent English qualification

Undergraduate entry requirements

HSC or equivalent with the required subject combination for the chosen course
A minimum IELTS score of around 5.5, or an accepted equivalent
Some programs (engineering, health sciences, design) may set additional subject or portfolio requirements

Postgraduate entry requirements

A relevant bachelor's degree, usually with a minimum CGPA requirement
A minimum IELTS score of around 6.0, or an accepted equivalent
Some master's programs may consider relevant work experience alongside academic qualifications

English language requirements

Bangladeshi applicants are generally expected to submit an English proficiency score unless they have completed their previous education in the English medium. IELTS is the most commonly accepted test, though PTE, TOEFL, or an internal English placement test may also be considered, depending on the program.

Note: Do not assume a fixed IELTS score applies to every course. Some professional programs, such as nursing or engineering, may require a higher score than the general minimum.

INTI International University intake dates

Unlike universities in the UK that mostly follow a September/January cycle, Malaysian private universities such as INTI typically offer more frequent intakes throughout the year, often in January, May/June, and September. Availability differs by campus and program, so it's important to check the intake calendar for your specific course rather than assuming a fixed schedule.

Note: Applying at least two to three months before your intended intake gives you enough time to complete the offer, deposit, and visa process without last-minute pressure.

INTI International University tuition fees

As a general reference point, first-year tuition fees at INTI commonly range from around MYR 21,000 to MYR 35,000, and a full bachelor's degree can average roughly USD 15,000–18,000 over the entire programme. These figures are indicative only. Fees change periodically, so always confirm the current published fee on the official course page or your offer letter before budgeting. There is no single tuition fee that applies to every course. Fees depend on:

Study level (Foundation, Diploma, Bachelor's, Master's)
Subject area (health sciences and engineering programmes with lab requirements tend to cost more than general business courses)
Campus
Programme duration

Other study and living costs in Malaysia

Tuition is only part of the total cost. Bangladeshi students should also budget for:

EMGS (Education Malaysia Global Services) processing fee
Student visa/pass fee
Health insurance

Food and daily living expenses
Local transport
Study materials and a laptop

Accommodation and living costs for INTI students in Malaysia

Most INTI campuses offer on-campus or nearby private hostel options, along with off-campus rented apartments shared with other students. Malaysia's cost of living is generally lower than in the UK, US, Canada, or Australia. Students who cook at home, share accommodation, and use public transport can manage their monthly expenses more comfortably than those who rely heavily on eating out or private transport. When choosing accommodation, check:

Distance from campus
What's included (utilities, Wi-Fi, furnishing)
Contract length and deposit terms
Whether the room/hostel is officially affiliated with the university

Can international students work while studying?

International students in Malaysia are permitted to work part-time under certain conditions, generally limited to a set number of hours per week during the semester, with more flexibility during official semester breaks.

Since immigration rules can be updated, always check the current regulations with your university's international office before taking up any part-time work, and never exceed the permitted hours.
