Should i do an MBA from Malaysia as a International Student?
A bit of background
I visited Malaysia in November 2024 and genuinely loved it — enough to consider living there permanently. That's the main motivation behind this post.
I'm currently finishing my Bachelor of Commerce from Delhi University (QS Ranked #328, 2026) and trying to figure out my next step.
What I'm considering
Doing an MBA in Malaysia right after graduation as an international student from India. I know going in as a fresher is debatable, but given that I want to relocate internationally, it feels like the right move for me.
My actual questions
- Which universities are worth it? (I've heard of UM, Taylor's, Sunway, APU — but not sure which carry real weight)
- Which specialisation to go for? Finance, Marketing, Business Analytics?
- How are campus placements for international students?
- Is the KL job market actually welcoming to foreign MBA grads?
My long-term plan
Work in Malaysia for 4–5 years, then possibly move to Singapore, Australia, or back to India. Malaysia feels like a smart, affordable base to grow from before taking that bigger leap.
Would love honest advice from anyone who has studied or worked there. 🙏
