The Malaysian master’s at a glance
Coursework or research?
Coursework master’s are taught, while research master’s are thesis-based and need a research proposal. The MIS scholarship supports both, with priority areas including engineering, ICT, business, sciences and social sciences, but not medicine, nursing or pharmacy.
