Studying Finance in Malaysia
Finance is the study of how money, markets and investment work — and it underpins careers in banking, investment, corporate finance and beyond. Malaysian finance degrees are English-taught and affordable, with a distinctive strength: Malaysia is a long-standing global hub for Islamic finance, so you can specialise in an area that's growing worldwide while studying where the industry is well established.
Finance rewards strong quantitative skills and internships, and pairs well with professional qualifications like the CFA. YSTC will help you choose a program that fits your ambitions.
For international students, the appeal is the combination of a globally relevant, English-taught qualification, real affordability, and a welcoming place to live and study. Whatever you'd like to study, YS Training & Consultancy can help you choose the right Finance program, confirm the current official fees, and apply with confidence — talk to us free to get started.
A note on the numbers: fees, rankings and intake dates change over time. We always confirm the current official figures with the university before you apply.

Questions fréquentes
What's special about studying finance in Malaysia?
Beyond affordability and English-taught programs, Malaysia is a long-standing global hub for Islamic finance, so you can specialise in an area that's growing worldwide while studying where the industry is well established. YSTC will help you find programs with the strengths you want.
Finance or accounting — which should I choose?
Accounting focuses on measuring and reporting financial information (with strong professional pathways); finance focuses on markets, investment and managing money. They overlap and both are versatile. YSTC will help you decide based on your goals.
What are the entry requirements?
A recognised pre-university qualification with reasonable maths and the English requirement; foundation and diploma routes are available. YSTC will check your eligibility for free.
Which universities in Malaysia offer Finance?

How much does it cost to study Finance in Malaysia?
Tuition depends on the university and intake, and fees change over time, so we don't want to quote an out-of-date figure.
