摘要

In line with the increase of international student enrolment for the past decade, Malaysia has placed internationalization as one of key thrusts in transforming its higher education. To be able to compete with other higher education providers, the Malaysian higher education institutions should place focus in the provision of quality academic programmes, international students鈥?support services as well as international students鈥?social and community engagement. Such focus enables Malaysia to achieve its aim of becoming an international education hub by 2020, with a targeted 200,000 international student enrollment into the country. This paper attempts to examine the emergence of Malaysia as a provider for international education and seek to provide recommendations towards creating sustainability in its aim as an education hub.
