Malaysia education market profile

Australian expertise in education and training is highly regarded in Malaysia.

Bilateral links in this sector date back before the 1950s to the Colombo Plan.

Education for many Malaysian students has traditionally been provided at universities in Australia, but university twinning arrangements and Australian campuses in Malaysia now allow Malaysian students to undertake Australian courses in Malaysia.
