Twinning Degree Programs in Malaysia: 3+0 Program

You may have a dream to study in the USA, Canada, or the UK, but the financial resources prevent you from making it come true. This is due to the high tuition fees of the universities in such countries, aside from the costs of living there, which are very expensive as well.

Malaysia offers its students this dream through various options, to get a high-level education without the need to pay very expensive tuition fees. The available options in Malaysia include the following:

  • Studying in a branch of a foreign university in Malaysia
  • The Twinning Degree Programs: 3+0 program
  • The transfer programs in the USA, Australia, and the UK

Check our articles about the costs of studying and living in Malaysia, and the Twinning Programs in Malaysia.

What is Twinning Program 3+0?

The 3+0 Program means that the students can pursue their studies in one of the higher education institutions in Malaysia, either universities or colleges, that have a partnership with a foreign university.

In other words, the students complete their entire degree at a Malaysian college or university for reasonable tuition fees.

But, after finishing their studies, they will be awarded a foreign degree qualification from the partner universities in the USA, Australia, Canada, the UK, or France.

The study program will be the same as if you study at the partner university abroad. The syllabus and assessment methods will be the same too.

What are the Advantages of Twinning Degree Programs?

The main benefit of these Twinning Programs is financial: the ability of the students to earn an international grade degree while on a tight budget. You will get the same university degree courses as your peers overseas, but at a lower cost. 

Furthermore, with the 3+0 Twinning Program, you would save in housing, transport, food and even education material fees. All of them are certainly more affordable in Malaysia than what they would cost you abroad. 

Above everything else, you’d be working in a more rigorous academic structure, paving the road to gain an international exposure during your study. And in the end, you will graduate both in a Malaysian and an international institution.
