While scholarships are the primary source of funding, many international students in Malaysia choose to work part-time to earn extra income and gain valuable work experience. Malaysian immigration law allows international students to work up to 20 hours per week during semester breaks and holidays, provided their Student Pass is valid. Common part-time jobs are found in restaurants, cafes, retail stores, and as tutors or event staff. This work not only helps with daily expenses but also improves your communication skills and allows you to connect with the local community. However, it’s crucial to balance work with your academic commitments, as your studies must remain the top priority. Eduville advises students on the rules and regulations regarding part-time work and offers strategies for effective time management. We want to ensure you can supplement your income without compromising the academic success your scholarship was awarded for.
