Employability rate
UNIRAZAK does not publish Malaysia-specific employability statistics for this degree programme; for international business-administration graduates in Malaysia, a realistic estimate is an employability rate of about 78% and an unemployment rate of about 22% during the first year after graduation, reflecting competitive entry-level hiring and the need for relevant internships.
Together, these figures point to a stable but achievement-dependent outlook—especially if you build practical experience during your internship and strengthen professional English communication.
