Students in Grade One and Grade Two in Senior High School don't have Chinese grades and don't have to worry. You can choose to study in a language school for 1-6 months, and then go to a preparatory school for one year after your language scores meet the requirements, and then apply to an undergraduate school in Malaysia.

3. After graduating from high school → (language school )→ private university There is no language requirement for applying for private universities in Malaysia after graduating from high school. If you have confidence in your English level, you can directly apply for an undergraduate course in a private university in Malaysia. However, teaching in Malaysia is generally in English, so I suggest you go to a language school for a period of time before applying for a bachelor's degree.

4. After graduating from high school → junior college (2 years) → private university (1 year)

After graduating from high school, you can also choose to study for two years and then apply for a private university undergraduate course. In this way, you only need to study for another year to graduate and get an undergraduate degree certificate.

5, undergraduate course graduation → private university graduate students

Undergraduate students who want to go to Malaysia for graduate studies only need to prepare the application materials and apply directly.

Students who graduated from ordinary high schools, if calculated according to the full score 100, will score about 70-80 in the English college entrance examination, and need to strengthen their English full-time for 6-8 months to reach IELTS 5.5. Those students who have graduated from foreign language schools with high English foundation in senior high schools, or whose English scores in the college entrance examination are above 90, can reach Grade 6 after 6-8 months of intensive training.

In Malaysia's public universities, some schools must achieve the corresponding IELTS scores before they can be admitted. But for private universities, IELTS scores are not necessary. Each private college has its own language intensive training center. After being admitted, students without IELTS scores need to study English in the corresponding private schools for 3- 12 months. Or go to the study abroad education base in Malaysia to strengthen the language.

The Malay government allows international students to work 20 hours a week.

If international students want to work outside the school while studying in Malaysia, they must first make sure that they have a legal student ID card recognized by the Malaysian government. Only international students with this ID can apply for jobs.

International students can apply for jobs regardless of whether they attend public or private schools, but the government departments that apply are different. If you study in a national university, you need to apply to the Malaysian national immigration department, while students from private schools need to apply to the Malaysian Immigration Department.

The Malaysian Immigration Bureau will decide whether to approve the application of international students based on various materials provided by international students. In contrast, the General Administration of Immigration is more strict in approving applications from private colleges. But it is also a guarantee for the interests and personal safety of international students.

Some suggestions on the work of international students;

Some parents worry that their children will neglect their studies because of part-time jobs. As long as it does not affect students' normal study and life, part-time jobs should be advocated.

In the study and life abroad, knowledge can be learned not only at school, but also in the future. Can cultivate their sense of responsibility, independence, organizational ability and so on.

For example, Indi University and Linden University in Malaysia provide students with opportunities to work at school and help teachers do some paperwork in various departments of the school. This is a good exercise opportunity, and it also eliminates parents' worries about the safety of students working outside the home.

In addition, students who work outside the school must pay attention to the legality of the place of work, and do not involve some illegal industries, which will be severely punished in Malaysia.
