Can I recover the money invested in my studies by working after my master's abroad in Malaysia?
Yes, you can potentially recover your study investment by working after your master’s in Malaysia, but it depends on your field, job market conditions, and ability to secure employment.
Malaysia offers a Graduate Pass (Social Visit Pass) that allows international graduates to stay and seek jobs for up to 12 months after graduation. Eligibility requires completing your degree at a recognized Malaysian institution and holding a valid student pass at the time of application.
Typical starting salaries for master's graduates vary:
- Information Technology: RM 3,500 - 6,000/month
- Engineering: RM 3,000 - 5,500/month
Actual earnings will depend on your industry, role, and location. Budgeting for living expenses is important, as salaries may cover costs but vary by sector.
