Scholvia Partners with Asia e University (AeU) Malaysia

Scholvia is proud to announce our partnership with Asia e University (AeU) — Malaysia's most internationally oriented Open and Distance Learning institution, headquartered in Subang Jaya, Selangor.

This partnership fills a specific gap in our network: flexible study options for working professionals who cannot relocate to Malaysia full-time.

About AeU

Asia e University was founded in 2007 under the endorsement of the Asia Cooperation Dialogue (ACD) — an intergovernmental initiative spanning multiple Asian nations. This origin gives AeU a distinctly regional mandate: expanding access to affordable, quality higher education across Asia.

AeU is officially recognised by Malaysia's Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), and all its academic programmes are accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA). AeU also serves as the main facilitator of the Asian Credit Transfer System (ACTS) — a framework enabling mutual credit recognition among participating Asian institutions.

Among Malaysia's three principal ODL providers, AeU is the most internationally oriented, with a learning-centre network and student base extending well beyond Malaysia.

Programmes Available

AeU offers more than 50 programmes across eight schools, spanning foundation, diploma, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels:

  • Business & Management, including MBA
  • Education, including Master and PhD in Education
  • Information & Communication Technology
  • Professional & Executive Development
  • Communication
  • Humanities & Social Sciences

Delivery modes include on-campus, blended, and fully online — with online and blended tracks accounting for the majority of enrolment.

The Pay-As-You-Study Fee Model

AeU operates a per-credit-hour fee structure rather than charging full programme fees upfront. Students pay course by course, which means enrolment can scale up or down each semester depending on workload, family commitments, and cash flow. For someone balancing a full-time job with study, this flexibility is often the deciding factor.

International student fees run on a separate schedule and are typically higher than the Malaysian domestic rate. Current fees and EMGS requirements should be confirmed directly during consultation.

Why AeU for Indonesian Students?

  • Working professionals can upgrade qualifications without leaving their job or country
  • Per-credit payment reduces financial pressure compared to upfront programme fees
  • All programmes MQA-accredited and MOHE-recognised
  • Programmes in Islamic Finance and Education align closely with Indonesian career paths
  • The Asian Credit Transfer System enables credit portability across partner institutions in Asia

An Important Note on Degree Recognition

If you plan to work in Indonesian government institutions, state-owned enterprises, or as a university lecturer, be aware that fully online programmes generally do not qualify for ijazah penyetaraan at Kemendikbudristek. The equivalency process requires bukti mukim — evidence of physical attendance at the campus. For private sector employment this is typically not an issue. If formal Indonesian recognition matters for your career plans, discuss blended learning options with us during consultation.

How Scholvia Can Help

As a recruitment partner for AeU, Scholvia assists students with:

  • Assessing whether online, blended, or on-campus study genuinely fits your career goals
  • Programme selection and enrolment coordination
  • Understanding the per-credit fee structure and planning total cost
  • Student Pass guidance for students requiring campus attendance
