List of Top 10 Business Courses to Study in Malaysia
I was confused about what to study and talking to EduSpiral helped me a lot. Coming from Sarawak made it difficult for me to know which university was best in Malaysia & EduSpiral provided good insights. Eric Lu, Business at KDU University College
How to Choose the Right Business Course to Study in Malaysia?
My mum contacted EduSpiral to help advise me on which course & university to choose as I was quite confused. He took us to visit the universities & helped guide me to make the right choice. Bryan Yap, Foundation in Business at Heriot-Watt University Malaysia
Choosing what to study and where to study is a weighty, often life-changing decision. Studying is after all, an investment in your future. You’re also investing your time and money. So when it comes to picking the right business course for you, it pays to do your homework. As seen above, there are many business courses that you can study at the universities in Malaysia.
Finding a business course that suits you is a process and takes time to research. This process is about evaluating your prospective university and course from all possible angles, which might include checking out its reputation & ranking, the quality of the course content, experience of the lecturers, the costs, whether there are internships or opportunities to study abroad and, of course, the ease of gaining employment after graduating.
Business courses are these days quite remarkable for their sheer diversity, helped by the huge extent to which business schools have collaborated with other fields of study such as IT, languages and law to create multidisciplinary or combination programmes.
Many students assume that the course content is the same for a particular course at all universities. For
Our mum asked us to talk to EduSpiral as we did not know what to study. EduSpiral had helped our older sister before. He met us at Taylor’s, talked to us and then gave us a tour. Gan twins, Foundation in Arts at Taylor’s University
example, Accounting or Business Administration. Students need to look past the titles and dig down into the course content to find out exactly what it’s all about. Students need to have a really good understanding of the content, the teaching methodology, the learning environment that encompasses that degree programme.
Business is a hugely diverse profession and, while some will choose a course because they want to work as an accountant, others might have a wish to set up their own music or food business and use the business degree as a way to take control of their destiny. Therefore, you have to understand yourself and what your career goals are. Then, you will be able to choose the right business course that best suits you.
Restaurants, law firms, media companies, agricultural producers, schools and colleges, engineering firms, hospitals, shops and retail, scientific researchers and labs: all of them need people to manage, balance the books, market their work and develop the firm. An accounting graduate will keep track of the profit and loss for the company while a management graduate will manage the whole company. Marketing graduates will try to increase sales for the company, a human resource management graduate will keep track of the employees’ benefits, salary, contracts and general welfare.
Finding the right course can seem daunting, with so many choices on offer at the private universities in
After chatting with EduSpiral on WhatsApp, he met me & my family to take us around the campus & provide further advise on the course. Zijun, Actuarial Science at Asia Pacific University
You can get a sense of the range of courses on offer by browsing through the subjects of the business courses offered by the universities in Malaysia. Of course, words on a page cannot give you a sense of what the university might be like and whether it is a place you would want to study in. Therefore, it is a good idea to organise a visit to the open day if you can.
Pay attention to whether or not there is an internship element on the business course as this will be particularly useful if your dream is to set up your own business. A good business course should also give you some sense of how to be a self-starter and how you might begin building your own company.
Your degree is one of the most important factors in determining the starting point of your career path.
EduSpiral helped me to transfer my business diploma into UCSI University. He had advised me to go for a university with an English-speaking environment so that I can improve myself. Kwang Wei, Business graduate from UCSI University
When deciding which business degree to pursue, therefore, it is very important to take into account your current educational position and to measure the potential rewards of each type of degree against the time and monetary sacrifices you are willing to make.
Choosing the Best Business Course to Study in Malaysia
After I finished my SPM, I felt confused about my further study. Eduspiral, was so patient to answer all my questions and took us around for a campus tour. Hui Ying, Diploma in Accounting at Asia Pacific University
It is important to choose the right course to study – you don’t want to waste your time and money on a course you don’t want to do (or end up dropping out of). To help you decide which course is right for you, make a list of business courses that are of interest to you.
Experienced education counselors are able to analyse your interests, personality and exam results to help you make a list of possible business courses for consideration. Looking at your results in SPM, UEC or O-Levels could help you to decide which course you would be good at. If you have enjoyed maths at school you can consider Actuarial Science, Finance & Investment or Accounting courses. These courses are related to calculations. If you are more into statistics then consider Marketing as one of the areas in marketing studies is Market Research. Students interested in psychology and human behaviour can go for Human Resource Management or Business with Psychology. Talking to an experienced education advisor would help you to navigate through this confusing time of choosing the best business course that fits you.
“My friend introduced me to EduSpiral because I was confused about my next step due to my unexpected results in STPM. EduSpiral provided me with great solutions to fit my career goals.” Kuo Qiat, Marketing degree at UCSI University
Having narrowed down to these courses, for students after SPM or O-Levels, you can go for the Foundation in Arts or Foundation in Business for 1 year before really choosing which type of business course to study for your degree.
Many students after SPM make the mistake of just listening to advise without verifying whether the information given is true or not. In addition, just because you have heard or seen a lot of advertisements by a particular university, doesn’t mean that it is the best in that course.
You should also ask yourself if you would still be interested in that subject for a further three or four years – enough to motivate yourself to work and research independently? Remember, you are going to work in this career for the next 50 years after graduation, therefore, you should have a high interest in the course.
The course that you choose should also have a job demand for you after you graduate. Choosing a course that you are passionate about without job demand and you may end up being jobless. Look for statistics and research to support whether there is a job demand for your future career in Malaysia. Here at EduSpiral Consultant Services, we do our research on the job demand for the careers in Malaysia, Salary Reports, and universities so that we can advise our students based on facts and evidence.
Education Pathway to a Business Degree Course in Malaysia
Our mum asked us to talk to EduSpiral as we did not know what to study. EduSpiral had helped our older sister before. He met us at Taylor’s, talked to us and then gave us a tour. Gan twins, Foundation in Arts at Taylor’s University
Students after SPM or O-Levels who are not sure what to study at degree level can go for the Pre-University course in Malaysia like A-Levels, AUSMAT or Foundation and then proceed on to the degree in Malaysia.
“I met up with EduSpiral about 4 times in Ipoh & at Asia Pacific University to discuss about my future. He provided me with in-depth information and even arranged for me to meet up with the Head of School at APU to talk to me.” Kar Jun, Accounting graduate from Asia Pacific University
Foundation in Business or Foundation in Arts for 1 year before continuing on to the business degree programme. Students who are sure of studying in Malaysia should just go for the Foundation programme as it is faster, easier and helps to enhance your English language & communication skills.
Alternatively, students with at least 3 credits in SPM or O-Levels may enter the Diploma in Business Administration, Diploma in Accounting, Diploma in Human Resource Management, etc and then transfer their diploma credits into Year 2 of the related degree course. PTPN Loan is offered for the Diploma and Degree programmes.
Choosing the right Pre-University course that fits you would mean that you have to ask yourself which methods of assessment best suit you? Exams, coursework, practicals, group projects and presentations could all be in the mix in differing quantities. Every Pre-University course will include a % breakdown of assessment. You need to understand yourself and capabilities in order to decide which Pre-University course would best suit you.
I was confused which university to choose for my studies and contacted EduSpiral. He provided facts & evidence to help me make the right choice. Vivian Chua, Actuarial Science at UCSI University
or Foundation in Business Administration. The Diploma pathway in Malaysia for students after SPM is 2 or 2.5 years and then enter into Year 2 of the Degree programme.
If you are not sure what to study, do ask a trained counselor and always make decisions based on evidence and facts. The decisions that you make now, can change your life forever. You can contact us for a free career test to help you understand yourself better so that you are able to make the right decision.

EduSpiral counselled me online and met me at KDU Penang University College to take me around the campus. It helped me a lot in making the right decision. Archie Wong, Business degree programme at KDU Penang University College
Are the business Foundation, Diploma or Degree courses accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Audit (MQA)?
Are the business Diploma or Degree courses accredited and recognised by relevant professional bodies in Malaysia?
Awards won by the university, staff or students for the particular course of interest. The number of awards won would be a guide on how good the university is for the course.
Academic Quality of the Business Courses at the University in Malaysia
EduSpiral explained the pathway to become an actuaries & gave facts on why Heriot-Watt is the best for actuarial science. We also toured the campus and hostel. Weng Hang, Heriot-Watt University Malaysia

What is the Class size for the course (Small class size for personal attention)
Faculty contact/classes taught by full-time qualified & experienced faculty
Quality of lecturers. What are their qualifications? How many years of experience in teaching?
Ask your friends who have studied there or currently studying there for their opinion on the teaching quality, environment and facilities.
Type of programme (local degree, 3+0 UK or Australian degree, 4+0 American degree, degree transfer programme, etc)
What are the Entry Requirements for the business Foundation, Diploma & Degree courses at the university (Foreign Branch campuses in Malaysia have higher entry requirements for their courses)
Does the university have a strong internship or Co-Op programme?
Do they have enough students to start a class?
How many students do they have studying that course at that university?
What is the duration of the course? When are the intake dates?
Facilities at the University to Support the Business Course in Malaysia
I was confused what to study & which university. My cousin introduced me to EduSpiral who helped me to make the right choice. Ye Lun, Actuarial Science at Asia Pacific University
Location of the university. Is it in the city, suburbs or country side? Some students prefer a city life while other students prefer a quieter university environment away from the city.
Size of the university.
Transportation. Is the university accessible to you? What are the public transportation available? If you drive, is there ample parking?
Campus resources (labs, library or resource centre, wifi, computer access, sports facilities, etc.)
Facilities for your course of interest. Labs, computers, software, etc.
Cost for your Business Foundation, Diploma or Degree Studies in Malaysia
My sister found EduSpiral online. I wanted a college that wasn’t expensive with great facilities and a UK degree. EduSpiral just helped us to find the right college. Yen Yong, Business at First City University College
How much money do I have to pay for the course and cost of living? Ask your parents. Note that you will need to have enough to pay the tuition fees as well as your cost of living. (Costs for university studies in Malaysia would include tuition, hostel, food, transportation, entertainment, etc.)
What are the Financial assistance available at the university? (Scholarships, PTPN Loan, EPF withdrawal, MARA Loan, etc)

What are the Extra-curricular activities available? (Student organisations, clubs, sports, etc.)
Is the university campus is a safe area? Safety within the campus and outside.
Public vs. Private (STPM is tougher and choice of course & university is determined by the government)

Are the marketing Foundation, Diploma or Degree courses accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Audit (MQA)?
Are the marketing Diploma or Degree courses accredited and recognised by relevant professional bodies in Malaysia?
Awards won by the university, staff or students for the particular course of interest. The number of awards won would be a guide on how good the university is for the course.
Academic Quality of the Marketing Courses at the University in Malaysia
My mum contacted EduSpiral to help advise me on which course & university to choose as I was quite confused. He took us to visit the universities & helped guide me to make the right choice. Bryan Yap, Foundation in Business at Heriot-Watt University Malaysia
Subjects offered in the marketing Foundation, Diploma or Degree (Are they relevant, up-to-date, and help you to achieve your career goals)
What is the Class size for the course (Small class size for personal attention)
Faculty contact/classes taught by full-time qualified & experienced faculty
Quality of lecturers. What are their qualifications? How many years of experience in teaching?
Ask your friends who have studied there or currently studying there for their opinion on the teaching quality, environment and facilities.
Type of programme (local degree, 3+0 UK or Australian degree, 4+0 American degree, degree transfer programme, etc)
What are the Entry Requirements for the marketing Foundation, Diploma & Degree courses at the university (Foreign Branch campuses in Malaysia have higher entry requirements for their courses)
Does the university have a strong internship or Co-Op programme?
Do they have enough students to start a class?
How many students do they have studying that course at that university?
What is the duration of the course? When are the intake dates?
Facilities at the University for the Course of Interest in Malaysia
Our mum asked us to talk to EduSpiral as we did not know what to study. EduSpiral had helped our older sister before. He met us at Taylor’s, talked to us and then gave us a tour. Gan twins, Foundation in Arts at Taylor’s University
Location of the university. Is it in the city, suburbs or country side? Some students prefer a city life while other students prefer a quieter university environment away from the city.

Transportation. Is the university accessible to you? What are the public transportation available? If you drive, is there ample parking?
Campus resources (labs, library or resource centre, wifi, computer access, sports facilities, etc.)
Facilities for your course of interest. Labs, computers, software, etc.
Cost for your Marketing Management Foundation, Diploma or Degree Studies in Malaysia
My sister found EduSpiral online. I wanted a college that wasn’t expensive with great facilities and a UK degree. EduSpiral just helped us to find the right college. Yen Yong, Business at First City University College
How much money do I have to pay for the course and cost of living? Ask your parents. Note that you will need to have enough to pay the tuition fees as well as your cost of living. (Costs for university studies in Malaysia would include tuition, hostel, food, transportation, entertainment, etc.)

Presently, Malaysia has about 7.5 million Accountants. The country requires another 60,000 Accountants to fulfill Vision 2020. All Accountants have to abide by a strict code of ethics and maintain high professional standards.
All practising accountants must register with the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA). The Accountant Act, 1967 recognises an Accountant as one who is a member of MIA. MIA members can either be registered as Registered Accountants, RA(M) or Public Accountants, PA(M).
Generally, an Accounting degree from a private university in Malaysia can gain exemptions until the final 5 papers of the ACCA. A maximum of nine papers at the Fundamentals level of the ACCA Qualification can be awarded.
A maximum of nine papers at the Fundamentals level of the ACCA Qualification can be awarded. To preserve the integrity and rigour of the ACCA Qualification and to ensure that all students share a common experience, ACCA does not award any exemptions at the Professional level.

Suggested accounting pathway for students in Malaysia with weak English
EduSpiral emphasised the importance of having good English for our future career. I am glad to join a globalised university which has helped me to improve my communication skills. Vincent Yeoh, Accounting & Finance at Asia Pacific University
However, as we all know, the standard of English in Malaysia has dropped a lot. Some students thinking of going for accounting go into CAT and then the ACCA not realising that both are external papers and marked by the UK examiners.
Therefore, although these students may be capable in their knowledge but their weakness in the English language to write properly during the exams will lead them to fail these papers. Furthermore, the final 5 papers of the ACCA are not easy and if you attempt these papers while you are too young, can be challenging.
I would suggest that students go into an accounting degree programme first where the degree is exempted from the 9 papers of the ACCA. Upon graduation, you find a job and then take the final 5 papers of the ACCA to become a professional accountant.
In choosing the university or college for the degree, you should go for a university where the students

Research by Star newspaper has shown that graduates with good command of the English language tend to get a higher salary (25%) and faster promotion.
A lot of students like the easy way out and choose colleges and universities that are cheap and lacking in quality and facilities thinking that as long as they just get the qualification, they are alright.
They forget that if the quality of the university is low, the student’s quality will also be low when they graduate. You won’t have the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in the working world. Not being able to speak English well, you won’t be able to become a manager in a Multi National Company.
The management will not ask you to give a presentation if you cannot speak well and furthermore how are you going to be able to write a report? When you become an auditor, you will need to communicate with your client in English as well as your report.

Public practice is governed by the Act, the Rules and the By-Laws (On Professional Ethics, Conduct and Practice) of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants.
Under the Act, the person must be a member of the Institute, and is prohibited from public practice through a body corporate save where this is allowed by other statutes for limited areas of public practice, namely tax.
A member, in most instances, is allowed to be engaged in public practice as a sole practitioner or in partnership only with another member(s) as the Act and By-Laws prohibits the sharing of profits with non-members. All firms in public practice are described as firms of chartered accountants (or licensed accountants, where applicable).
Only members registered as chartered accountants with valid practising certificate can describe and hold themselves out as chartered accountants in public practice and are able to set up firms providing public practice services. Members in public practice may carry out public practice services such as accounting, audit, liquidation, tax and other related services. However, the practice of audit, liquidation and tax are licensed under other legislation.

More accountants are needed for Malaysia to achieve Vision 2020 and be known as a high-income nation, said Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA) president Johan Idris.
“For a country to have a mature capital market, it needs accountants because we provide confidence and assurance. We have a role to play to ensure that the capital markets are robust and forward-looking,”
To-date, the statutory body has just under 30,000 registered members. This is in comparison to Singapore, which has a similar number of members registered for a population of roughly five million.
“Australia, with a population of about 28 million, has about 100,000 members,” he said.
He added that the quality of education was important because it equated to the future supply chain of accountants in Malaysia. Accounting firms are constantly on the lookout to hire competent accounting graduates.
“Suitable candidates are hard to find. MIA can talk to the minister responsible for this, in terms of how we want to bring the accounting profession to the next level,” he said.
Johan highlighted that more importance should be placed on improving the level of competency in the English language.
“Accounting is about communicating financial statements and what you have done to the public at large.
“If you aren’t able to communicate well and if your supply of graduates doesn’t have a strong command of the language, then you would not be as strong as what you ought to be,” he said. He added that while Bahasa Malaysia unified the country, English was still the language of commerce.
