| Public universities
(Government's Universities) produce graduates who can acquire
and apply their knowledge for the benefit of the Malaysian
society. No every interested student could gain an entry into these institutions because the places for first degree programmes are limited. The Ministry of Higher
Education thus placed hope on private higher educational
institutions to complement and supplement the mission. Thus, Malaysian and foreign students have a wide choice of higher education institutions and programmes. Foreign university branch campuses have played a significant role in meeting the demand by Malaysian for Bachelor's degree programmes. |
