Students from Malaysia have been coming to Oxford Brookes for many years and we currently have a number of Malaysian students enrolled at the University.

We are one of the UK's leading modern universities, and with our innovative teaching methods and the support we offer our students you will achieve results that are internationally respected and a degree that will open doors in the global employment market.

Our Malaysian students enjoy a wide range of subjects at the university, including Law, Architecture, Accounting and Finance, Automotive Engineering and Hotel and Restaurant Management.

Want to hear from our students? Read Malaysian student Song Pei Fen's blog to find out about her experience here at Brookes or watch the below student interview with Jit Min who studied Law at Oxford Brookes.

We now have academic excellence scholarships of £2,000 available to foundation students from Malaysia and £1,000 scholarships for pre-master's students progressing to a pre-master's course. Please see the Finance section below.

We welcome students from many faiths and have a special Muslim Student Guide with information about the Muslim community here in Oxford and at the university.

Our School of Architecture was recently visited by the Malaysian architecture council - The Council of Architectural Accreditation Education of Malaysia (CAAEM) - Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia, to undertake a validation visit. The outcome of this visit was that Part 1 (BA Hons in Architecture) and Part 2 (MArchD Applied Design in Architecture) have been recognised and validated by the Council until 2021.

For more information please look at our country information leaflet (PDF) for Malaysian students.

Student profiles

Chiu Lee Lim
BA Law (LLB)

I chose OBU because of the location and environment as Oxford is a very nice place to live. Living in Oxford enabled me to learn about the English culture.

The course was good and we had a variety of choices in terms of electives. We also received a weekly newsletter with job opportunities which enabled me to secure a part-time job as a tutor in Barton Community Centre whilst studying and a paid internship after graduation.

I enjoy being here because Brookes doesn’t ask you to follow a certain style but instead your lecturers all help you to develop your own thinking and your own style of Architecture. They give you options for you to explore them yourself.

I like the fact that it has a beautiful environment and is quiet and homely. You can definitely concentrate when you have to study and not be distracted much. The culture is different but the people, including my academic tutors, are very friendly. I made a lot of new friends in my first year and they’re all really nice and wanted to learn more about my culture

To future students: I’d say, come to Brookes! There’s so much going on, and so much to get involved in. Oxford’s a great city to be living in. Plus, the new building is looking great!
