If you're comparing the cost of studying at University of Cyberjaya (UoC), tuition is only part of the picture. This guide sets out indicative programme fees plus the real extras international students from Nepal, India, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Egypt, the UAE and beyond need to budget for — one-off charges, the EMGS student visa, tax and living costs — so you can plan a realistic total.
Indicative Tuition by Programme
The figures below are indicative full-course guides to help you compare — not a quote. University of Cyberjaya publishes the definitive international fee schedule, and figures change between intakes.

|---|---|---|

One-Off and Additional Fees
These are charged on top of tuition. Most are one-time or annual, and they're easy to overlook when comparing universities:
- Registration, processing and administration fees — one-off, payable at enrolment.
- EMGS student-pass fee and medical insurance — for your visa.
- Student Pass — RM60 per year (set by the Immigration Department of Malaysia).
- Resource / facility fee — a small recurring charge.
- i-Kad and medical screening — issued after arrival.
Tax (SST) and the EMGS Visa
Sales & Service Tax (SST): a government tax applies to education services for international students in Malaysia — it is set by the government, not the university, but it does affect your total. Confirm the current rate when you request your fee schedule.
EMGS student visa: your student pass is processed through Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS). Budget for the EMGS processing fee and required medical insurance as part of your first-year cost.
Living Costs in Cyberjaya
Cyberjaya is generally more affordable than central Kuala Lumpur. A realistic all-in monthly budget is about RM1,500–3,500, depending on accommodation and lifestyle:
| Item | Indicative monthly cost |

| Accommodation (shared room) | RM500 – 800 |
| Accommodation (private studio) | RM1,100 – 1,500 |
| Food | RM600 – 900 |
| Transport, utilities & personal | RM300 – 700 |
Building Your True Total Cost
To compare UoC honestly against other universities, add four things together over the length of your course:
- Tuition for the full programme (not just year one).
- One-off + annual fees (registration, EMGS, Student Pass, insurance, resource fee).
- Tax (SST) on education services.
- Living costs × the number of months you'll study.
We can prepare a personalised total-cost estimate in your own currency (INR, LKR, NPR, KES, EGP, AED and others) so there are no surprises.
Reducing the Cost
University of Cyberjaya has offered merit-based tuition reductions for international students, and the amount varies by programme. See our UoC scholarships guide and the site's fees & scholarships page, or send us your results and we'll check which current awards you're likely to qualify for.
About Studies in Malaysia
Studies in Malaysia is an education counselling service helping international students navigate admission to Malaysian universities, including University of Cyberjaya. We work directly with students and parents from South Asia, Africa, the Middle East and beyond — requesting current fee and scholarship information, preparing application documents, and guiding the EMGS student-pass process from enquiry through to arrival.
Student counselling and admissions are managed by Boomerang International Educational Services (Australia). Our role is to help you make an informed decision and manage the process smoothly — final admission and visa decisions rest with the university and the Malaysian authorities.
