COMMON QUESTIONS

Plan with clear information.

Requirements differ by institution and programme. Use these answers as a starting point and verify current details with official sources.

Admissions and visa guidance
Can I study in Malaysia after HSC?

There are different study pathways to explore after HSC. The university reviews your qualification against the entry requirements for the specific programme.

Can I apply without IELTS?

English tests, accepted alternatives and score requirements differ by university and programme. Check the current official entry requirements before applying.

What documents may I need?

Universities set their own document lists. Academic certificates and transcripts, passport details and English evidence may be requested; follow the checklist for your chosen course.

How should I compare universities?

Review programme content, entry requirements, location and full current costs. Confirm each detail on the university’s official website.

Can SkyDream guarantee admission or a visa?

No. Admission decisions belong to universities, and visa and immigration decisions belong to the Malaysian authorities.

Can international students work in Malaysia?

Only with prior Immigration approval. EMGS describes a maximum of 20 hours weekly during semester breaks or holidays longer than seven days, with a valid Student Pass. Listed settings include restaurants, petrol stations, minimarkets, hotels and approved campus work. Apply through your institution and confirm the authorised period and role before starting. Cashier/front-desk work, student recruitment and specified hotel roles are prohibited. Do not rely on part-time earnings to fund your studies.

What happens after I accept a university offer?

Coordinate your Student Pass application with the institution through EMGS. Official review, eVAL, applicable entry requirements, arrival screening and pass endorsement follow; an offer alone is not permission to enter.

How long does Student Pass processing take?

Timing depends on complete documents and agency clearances. Check your application status with EMGS and the institution; avoid treating an estimated timeline as a guaranteed travel date.

Do I need medical screening after arrival?

Yes. EMGS requires new international students to complete post-arrival screening within seven working days. Arrange the approved clinic through your institution and follow its instructions for Student Pass endorsement.
