Study in Malaysia from Kenya: affordable English-taught degrees, many from UK and Australian branch campuses, with several intakes a year.

Malaysia combines lower tuition, roughly US$3,000 to US$17,000 a year, with living costs well below the UK or Australia. Many universities are branch campuses of UK and Australian universities, so you can earn an internationally known degree for less.

Visa: your university applies for your student pass through Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS) while you are still in Kenya. You need health insurance recognised in Malaysia and a medical check within 7 days of arriving.

Entry after KCSE: usually a foundation year, with direct entry to some diplomas. A Levels and the IB Diploma give direct entry to most bachelor's degrees.

Intakes: often January, May and September.

Work: university students may apply to work up to 20 hours a week at approved places such as restaurants, hotels and campus jobs, with Immigration Department approval. Most students budget without relying on work.
