Xiamen University Malaysia

Xiamen University Malaysia is in Bandar Sunsuria, Sepang, Selangor — about 15 km southwest of Kuala Lumpur, roughly 10 minutes from Kuala Lumpur International Airport and 15 minutes from Putrajaya. It sits on a green, 150-acre campus in a quiet, suburban setting.

Fees vary by program and change each intake, so we don't want to quote an out-of-date figure here. Your free consultation with YSTC includes a clear, up-to-date cost estimate for the courses on your shortlist, plus an honest view of living costs in Malaysia.

Yes. The university operates under Malaysia's Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) with MQA programme accreditation, and as a foreign branch of Xiamen University it also holds Chinese government accreditation. It ranks among the world's universities in QS and THE and is No. 1 in Malaysia by the Nature Index. YSTC will confirm recognition for your specific country and goals.

It's best known as the first Chinese university branch campus in Malaysia and for its research strength — ranked No. 1 in Malaysia by the Nature Index (April 2024 - March 2025). It has strong programs in engineering, business, computer science and Chinese studies, industry partnerships with firms like Deloitte, Alibaba Cloud and Huawei, and a 94% graduate employability rate.

The university runs multiple intakes per year, and exact dates depend on your program. YSTC will confirm the next available intake and the application deadlines for you.

Yes — and getting started is completely free. We'll help you choose the right course, prepare and submit your application and documents, confirm the current fees, and manage your Malaysian Student Pass (visa) via EMGS from start to finish.

Scholarship and award availability changes each intake and by program, so the best move is a free YSTC consultation, where we'll check which scholarships you may qualify for and help you apply at no cost.

Most programs ask for IELTS, TOEFL, or an accepted equivalent, though the exact band varies by course. If you don't yet meet the requirement, a pathway may be available so you can still progress. YSTC will confirm exactly what your chosen course needs.

Most programs are taught in English, with the exception of Chinese Studies and Traditional Chinese Medicine programs. That means international students can study most courses without learning Chinese or Malay first, and your qualification stays globally portable.

The campus offers on-campus student housing, so you can live close to your classes and facilities. Costs depend on the room type and how you like to live — YSTC will walk you through the current options and a realistic monthly budget for your intake.

Living costs in Malaysia are generally moderate and typically far lower than in the UK, US or Australia — covering accommodation, food and transport. Your exact budget depends on your lifestyle and housing choice, so YSTC will give you a personalised monthly estimate alongside your tuition figures, free of charge.

International students in Malaysia may be allowed to work part-time during semester breaks and holidays under specific conditions set by Immigration, usually with university approval.
