Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
A technical university spread across specialist Kuala Lumpur-area institutes, built for Engineering and Aviation.
Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) is a private technical university operating as a set of distributed specialist institutes across the KL area, with Engineering, Aviation, Information Technology and Business and Logistics as its core strengths. Because each institute has its own site and specialism, students need to match their intended course to its specific institute and commute rather than thinking of it as a single campus. International tuition typically runs RM25,000–RM65,000+ a year. It suits students who want industry-focused technical training, particularly in engineering or aviation.

Informational only — scholarship amounts, deadlines and even which schemes are running change often (sometimes per intake), so treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee. Always confirm current details directly with the scholarship provider or UniKL's financial aid office.
Malaysian government scholarships are almost entirely restricted to Malaysian citizens. For international students, the main route is university-level merit scholarships or fee rebates, especially common at private and branch-campus universities.
Public university (UM, USM, UKM, UPM, UTM) scholarship access for international students is much more limited than at private/branch-campus universities — check directly before assuming availability.

As a typical benchmark for international entry, UniKL expects around ABB at A Level or 28 points on the IB Diploma.

UniKL follows Malaysia's typical intake calendar: February, September, with applications generally due rolling — apply 3–6 months ahead of your intended intake. Always verify the exact date on UniKL's own admissions page, since deadlines can shift year to year.
