Pakistan has a population made up of more than 64% of young minds, and 90% of Pakistani students don’t know what career choice to make. It Indicates a severe shortage of counselling resources in educational institutions, leading to poor decision-making and limited awareness of available opportunities.
Limited financial resources, high tuition fees, and the rising cost of living in destination countries pose a barrier to accessing international education. Many Pakistani students come from modest backgrounds, relying on family finances, which can add pressure and strain to already limited resources. Moreover, the country's year-on-year inflation rises to 37.97% (the highest of all time).
With such financial constraints and limited scholarships/fully funded programmes, the situation of Pakistani students doesn’t allow them to fulfil their dreams and reach their potential.
In this article, we will uncover a 50% cheaper option that you have never heard of before, ensuring you graduate with an international degree without emptying your pocket!
Introducing Pathway Degrees for Pakistani Students
The pathway degree programme offers a promising solution for Pakistani students seeking an affordable pathway to study abroad. By completing the initial part of your degree in Malaysia, you can save on tuition fees, accommodation, and living expenses from the very start of your study abroad.
Whether you aspire to study in the UK, Australia, or the USA, Malaysia has options tailored to your preferences. Let's dive in!
1. UK and Australia Degree Pathways
A) 2+1 Degree — Explore International Study Options at Lower Prices!
Imagine completing your undergraduate degree with a blend of Malaysian and international education. A few Malaysian universities offer twinning programmes, where you can study for two years in Malaysia and seamlessly transfer to renowned universities in the UK or Australia.
During your initial two years in Malaysia, you'll receive a high-quality education that sets a strong foundation for your chosen field of study. Then, you'll transfer to a prestigious university in the UK or Australia for your final year. The final year abroad enhances your academic experience and provides an immersive international environment where you can further develop your skills, broaden your perspectives, and build a global network.
Not only does this 2+1 option make your dream graduation more affordable but offers you the opportunity to obtain a degree from a globally recognised institution. You'll receive a degree from a partnering university in the UK or Australia, which carries immense value and opens doors to international career prospects.
B) 3+0 Dual Degree — The Cheapest Option
Malaysian universities collaborate with renowned universities in the UK and Australia to offer degree programmes. This option is perfect if you prefer to complete your entire degree programme in Malaysia while earning dual degrees. These programmes have the same syllabus and assessment standards as their international counterparts, ensuring you receive a globally recognised education.
Upon completing your studies, you'll be awarded two degrees – one from the partnering international university in the UK or Australia and another from the Malaysian university that conducted the programme. It's a win-win situation, enhancing your employability while also reducing your overall study expenses.
C) Foreign Branch Campus — Get Affordable International Excellence
Did you know that top universities from the UK and Australia have established branch campuses in Malaysia? By choosing this option, you can receive a degree from a prestigious UK or Australian institute at a reduced cost. Studying at an overseas branch campus allows you to access the same curriculum and teaching quality as the main campus while enjoying a more affordable lifestyle in Malaysia.
Here are some renowned universities you can consider studying at:
