MANY Malaysian parents aim to see their offspring enter a blue-chip university. Australian universities are highly rated by Malaysians, quickly becoming a premium as demand exceeds supply. Here are several reasons for the popularity of Antipodean education institutions.
Emigration possibilities
Top of the list is that many Malaysians see Australia as an ideal destination to emigrate to. Studying at an Australian university is a step in the right direction if and when the decision is made to make the move permanent.
Closer distance
Compared to North American and European varsities, Australian universities are a lot closer to home, especially those on the west coast of Australia. For those families that can afford regular air travel, being able to spend time together matters greatly.
To put this into context, a flight to Perth from KLIA takes approximately five hours, the same amount of time it takes to drive from Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru.
Prestigious universities
Australia is well-known for the quality of its higher education with its qualifications being internationally recognised. Many Malaysians prize entry into the medical, engineering and business programmes at some of the blue-chip institutions in Australia, knowing that their degrees offer bright career prospects.
