5) External Degree Programmes
6) Distance Learning

| Malaysian private colleges
pioneered in the provision of trans-national Bachelor's degree
programmes only in the 1980s. These colleges collaborate with
reputable universities from countries like UK, USA, Australia, New
Zealand, etc.

The flexibility of studying a
Bachelor's degree is that students now have a wide choice of
universities or colleges at a budget best suited to them as well as
the mode of programme, such as 3+0, twinning degree, degree
qualification awarded by a foreign university branch campus or a
home-grown career relevant degree programme. Private institutions provide 2 categories of higher education in Malaysia : |
| Category 1 |
Category 2 |
| Malaysian Private
Higher Educational Institutions Private universities Private colleges that offer twinning degree programmes |
Foreign University Branch Campuses located in Malaysia |
| Private institutions of higher
learning (IPTS) in Sabah offering certificate, pre-diploma, diploma
and 2+1 degree courses
In Sabah a decline in enrolment in
these IPTS because of competition from Peninsula-based
colleges and polytechnics, and overseas education institutions
offering tertiary education. Students have a wider choice of
universities and colleges locally and in the Peninsula. But graduates from private colleges
are more likely to get jobs because private courses are tailored to
meet the State's manpower needs and conducted in English as the
international language, so they are more prepared for the challenges
of the labour market. Student usually first submit their applications to join public institutions of higher learning (IPTA) to a governing body called UPU for approval. Then wait for the result whether they are accepted or not. Only then will those who are rejected, decide to join private colleges. Many students are dependent on scholarships or loans for tertiary education because their parents cannot afford to pay for tuition fees. AMC School of Business More and more government schools
are offering STPM (Higher School Certificate) classes, which is
equivalent to pre-university level. Secondly, students are taking
advantage of government-sponsored courses in polytechnics, the Sabah
Skills & Technology Centre (SSTC), and the Industrial Training
Centre.
