The '3+0' programme is an extension of the '2 +1' twinning programme allowing students to complete all three years of the partner university's degree at Malaysian institutions. This innovative arrangement started in 1998. These institutions are permitted by the foreign partner universities in countries like the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and France to conduct the entire Bachelor's degree programme in Malaysia the foreign partner university awarding the degree qualification. Therefore, unlike the twinning programme, students do not need to go to the host country to complete their studies, unless they opt to do so.

Under this type of programme, a student does dual registration, that is, the student registers the Malaysian institution as well as the host university. Therefore, students ore subjected to the same method of assessment as that of the host university.
As such, you can now have a choice of graduating either a Bachelor's degree from the United Kingdom, United Stales, France or Australia completely on Malaysian soil!!! This means that students doing the '3+0' degree programme follow the same syllabus and obtain the same qualifications as students in the host university overseas.

Benefits of a '3+0* Degree Programme
It is definitely more economical because the entire course fees and the living expenses for the duration of the course are paid in Malaysian Ringgit which will result in a lower cost of study for the student. Students can thus expect to save about RM90,000 to RM 150,000 for the entire degree, depending on the course of study and the foreign partner university involved. For example, the total tuition fees for a 3-year Business Degree is estimated to range from RM39,000 to RM52,000. Thus the '3 + 0' degree programme ossures substantial savings.

Qualify Assured
The '3+0' degree programme is approved by the Ministry of Higher Education and as such, the institutions offering such programmes are constantly under the scrutiny of the national quality assurance agency, MQA (Malaysian Qualifications Agency). The foreign partner university will also send lecturers to the Malaysian institution to lecture as well as conduct regular audits on the Malaysian institution. Britain's Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) will audit the quality of '3+0' degree programmes in collaboration foreign partner universities from the United Kingdom. Therefore, students can be assured that the '3+0' degree programmes offered by PHEIs in Malaysia are NOT in any way inferior to those provided by the foreign partner university.
