📝 How to Apply
Check eligibility for international entry
Review the Diploma in Mechanical Engineering entry requirements for international applicants and confirm your qualification includes Mathematics plus the required Science/Technical/Vocational and English requirements. If you are unsure about qualification equivalency, prepare your transcripts and certificates early so you can submit them with your application. Make sure your English proof matches the published TOEFL or IELTS requirement for this diploma.
Submit the application online
Complete the online application through the university’s official application link shown on the programme page. Upload the required scanned documents in the format requested by the university for foreign students. Confirm your programme and intake details before submission, and keep copies of what you uploaded for your records.
Complete pre-arrival processing after conditional offer
After receiving the conditional offer, the university’s foreign-student FAQ indicates you must upload the bank TT slip or money receipt for visa processing fees as part of processing. The FAQ also explains that visa approval timing depends on documents verification and eligibility. Monitor email or messages from the university during this stage so you can respond quickly if documents need clarification.
Pay first year tuition fees after visa approval and prepare arrival
The FAQ states that international students are required to pay first year fees after visa approval, but before arrival in Malaysia, and that instalment payment for first year fees is not allowed. The university also provides arrival guidance in its international student support information. Plan your travel only after you have received the correct visa and arrival instructions from the university.
