Types of institutions include:
- Universities – broad and research-oriented
- Technical institutes or applied sciences – practice-focused, especially in Germany and France
- Colleges or university colleges – specialised training or niche disciplines
Many programmes, especially for international students, are delivered in English, offering you a wide array of options across fields and locations.
Benefits of Studying in Europe
Choosing to study in Europe offers Malaysian students a wide range of advantages that go beyond academics. Here are some of the key benefits:
- World-class education: Europe is home to some of the oldest and most prestigious universities, offering high-quality programmes recognised worldwide.
- Diverse programme options: From engineering and business to arts and medicine, Europe provides a vast selection of courses taught in English and other languages.
- Cultural exposure: Living and studying in Europe allows students to experience different cultures, traditions, and lifestyles, broadening their global outlook.
- Affordable education: Many European countries offer low or no tuition fees at public universities, making higher education more accessible for international students.
- Career opportunities: With strong economies and thriving industries, Europe offers excellent post-study work opportunities and pathways to long-term careers.
Why Europe Makes Sense for Malaysian Students
Europe offers an excellent balance of academic quality, cultural exposure, and long-term career opportunities. With a history of education excellence and innovation, European universities consistently rank among the world’s top institutions. A degree from Europe is globally recognised, giving graduates a competitive edge when pursuing careers either in Malaysia or abroad.
Life in Europe also means living at the crossroads of cultures. You will be exposed to new languages, traditions, and lifestyles while still finding strong international student communities. This multicultural environment helps you develop global perspectives, independence, and valuable intercultural communication skills that employers actively seek.
Another major advantage is the availability of scholarships and funding support. Many European governments, universities, and institutions provide financial aid designed to attract talented international students. With Inquota’s support, Malaysian students can explore merit-based scholarships, tuition fee reductions, or funding opportunities linked to their chosen programme.
Europe also provides attractive post-study opportunities. Most countries allow international students to work part-time during their studies, which helps with living expenses and practical experience. After graduation, several nations, including Germany, France, and the Netherlands, offer post-study work visas, making it easier for graduates to start their careers in Europe before returning home or exploring global opportunities.

Known for strong technical programmes and low tuition, Germany attracts students keen on engineering, sciences, and applied studies. Growing job markets and welcoming policies make it especially appealing.
France

Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Hungary

ONCAMPUS & Navitas Programmes
Inquota works with pathway providers such as ONCAMPUS (Amsterdam, Paris) and Navitas (Netherlands), offering smoother transitions into degree programmes.
Application Intakes & Planning
Applications for European universities typically follow two main cycles. The primary intake is in autumn, which begins around September or October, while many institutions also open a spring intake that runs from January to April. In addition, certain pathway providers such as ONCAMPUS and Navitas offer foundation intakes throughout the year, giving students added flexibility in starting their studies.
To maximise your chances of admission and scholarships, it is important to begin preparations 12 to 18 months before your intended intake. This timeline allows enough space to complete application forms, gather academic documents, secure recommendation letters, and fulfil visa requirements without unnecessary stress. Careful planning also ensures you do not miss out on early deadlines for financial aid opportunities.
Scholarships & Funding
Inquota curates a wide range of scholarship opportunities from universities across Europe, including those offered through partners such as ONCAMPUS and Navitas. We also design scholarship awareness programmes to help Malaysian students understand eligibility requirements, deadlines, and the application process.
These opportunities may include institutional merit awards, government or foundation scholarships, and funded pathway programmes. By highlighting these options early, we ensure that students can make informed choices and reduce the overall cost of studying abroad.
Post-Study Opportunities & Student Support
Europe provides international students with opportunities to gain valuable experience through part-time work while studying, and many countries also offer post-graduation work options for those seeking to begin their careers overseas.
Beyond academics, Inquota offers dedicated support to help students prepare for life abroad. Our team remains accessible to answer questions and offer assistance throughout the process, helping Malaysian students transition smoothly into their studies and daily life in Europe.
This supportive approach allows you to focus on achieving success in both your education and your future career.
