Global Services (EMGS) successfully hosted the Study in Malaysia Education Fair

parents, education professionals and representatives from academic
institutions.

interact directly with representatives of leading Malaysian universities and
explore a wide range of undergraduate, postgraduate and professional study
programmes.

recognised degree programmes, scholarships, admissions requirements, student
visas, campus facilities, accommodation, student life in Malaysia. University

helping them better understand the complete process of pursuing higher
education in Malaysia.
The fair was inaugurated by the High Commissioner of Malaysia to
Pakistan Mr H.E Dato Muhammad Azhar Mazlan, who highlighted the longstanding
and friendly relations between Malaysia and Pakistan and emphasised the
important role of education in strengthening bilateral ties. The High
Commissioner expressed confidence that initiatives such as the Study in
Malaysia Education Fair would contribute to greater cooperation between the two
countries in education, research, innovation and people-to-people exchanges.
Throughout the event, students showed keen interest in Malaysian higher
education opportunities, with many engaging in detailed discussions with
university representatives about admissions, scholarships and future career
pathways. A number of students also moved forward with their admission
processes during the fair.
Speaking on the occasion, representatives of EMGS said that Pakistan
remains an important and growing market for Malaysian higher education.
Increasing numbers of Pakistani students are exploring Malaysia as a
destination for quality international education, particularly for
undergraduate, postgraduate and professional programmes.

countries
