Pharmacy is RM169,785, and Medicine and Dentistry are five-year degrees at RM383,940 and RM387,540. POSTGRADUATE: taught master's degrees run about RM20,270–35,630 over two years before the hall, with the hall adding RM9,050; the doctorate runs about RM41,500–63,500 over three years, plus RM13,575–14,475 for the hall.

First year

RM17,500–24,195 (foundation year, all-in)

Before you start

RM2,248 to process the visa approval letter and RM800 for takaful and the student-pass conversion. A personal bond is also collected at the rate the Malaysian government sets for your nationality — it is returned when the student pass is cancelled at the end of study.

Other charges

A hall room is up to RM600 a month on the foundation year; on the bachelor's it is already inside the totals above. English proficiency, where required, is RM2,800 a level and Arabic RM2,100. Every figure is subject to 6% SST, which has applied to international students since 1 July 2025.

Entry

The foundation year via IIUM Academy is the entry point for a school-leaving certificate; the bachelor's itself is entered after a foundation, matriculation or equivalent. Foundation streams are split across two campuses — Law, Human Sciences and Economics at Gombak; Engineering, Sciences, Medicine, Pharmacy, Architecture, Nursing, Computer Science, Arabic, Islamic Revealed Knowledge and the language routes at Gambang.

English

Where your English does not yet meet the bar, IIUM does not reject the file — it adds its own proficiency course at RM2,800 per level (Arabic RM2,100), taken alongside the programme. Budget for it rather than assuming it away.

Scholarships

None published on the international fee schedules we hold. The prices below are the standard international rates, not a discounted offer, which is worth saying because they are lower than several discounted rates elsewhere on this board.

Applying here is not free, unlike most routes on this board — a service fee applies, and we state the exact amount before you start anything. Separately, IIUM bills by credit hours attempted, so a repeated subject is charged again, and it states that it may revise fees without notice. The totals here are its own published figures for international students and are a firm guide rather than a fixed quote.
