Information and entry requirements for students from Malaysia

Welcome to NTU
Hello, my name’s Rebecca Tinker and I'm the NTU Representative for Malaysia. I’m delighted you’re considering studying with us and if you have any questions I’ll be happy to help. I visit Malaysia a lot and love meeting new students and families personally to give advice and guidance.
If you’d like us to keep in touch with you please register with us and we’ll send you updates on what’s happening at the University. We’ll also let you know if I’m visiting Malaysia so we can arrange to meet if you wish – or you can contact me directly.
Malaysia Scholarship
Do you have an offer to study with us? Why not apply for our exclusive Malaysia scholarship. If you're a postgraduate student you can apply for £4,000 towards your studies.
We also offer a variety of other scholarships ranging from £2,000 to 50% of your tuition fee. Once you submit an application form we’ll assess you for all scholarships you are eligible for.
Find out more information about our deadlines and how to apply below.
I did a work placement as part of my course. I’d say it was a good investment and an excellent, rewarding experience. Eng Siong Ng, Malaysia, BSc (Hons) Quantity Surveying
