Scholvia Partners with MAHSA University Malaysia

Scholvia is proud to announce our partnership with MAHSA University — one of Malaysia's most established private universities in health sciences education, located in Bandar Saujana Putra, Jenjarom, Selangor.

About MAHSA University

MAHSA University was established in 2004 under the name Malaysian Allied Health Sciences Academy, a name that reflected its original mandate as a trainer of allied health professionals. The institution expanded its academic scope through the following decade and received full university status from Malaysia's Ministry of Higher Education.

MAHSA now operates from a 48-acre campus in Bandar Saujana Putra and enrols over 10,000 students across more than 70 programmes.

Rankings and recognition:

• SETARA Competitive rating from the Malaysian government
• Ranked #577 in the QS Asia University Rankings

MAHSA has become a regular choice for students targeting clinical careers in medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy — particularly among international applicants from Indonesia, Bangladesh, and the Middle East.

Programmes Available

MAHSA offers over 70 programmes across health sciences, clinical medicine, and business disciplines.

Clinical and medical programmes:

• MBBS (Medicine) — 5-year degree recognised by the Malaysian Medical Council. Students complete two years of pre-clinical sciences before transitioning to clinical rotations at teaching hospitals in the Klang Valley
• Bachelor of Dental Surgery — 5-year programme registered with the Malaysian Dental Council. Dentistry students train at the MAHSA Dental Clinic on campus, which operates as a working clinic providing supervised clinical experience
• Pharmacy
• Nursing
• Physiotherapy
• Radiography and Medical Imaging

Other disciplines:

• Biosciences & Biomedical Sciences
• Business & Management
• Information Technology
• Engineering
• Hospitality

Levels available: Certificate, Foundation, Diploma, Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD.

Tuition Fees for International Students

• Certificate programmes: from RM 12,400
• Foundation programmes: RM 13,500 – RM 19,000
• Diploma programmes: RM 27,800 – RM 44,600
• Bachelor's degrees: varies significantly by programme — clinical programmes such as MBBS and Dentistry are substantially higher due to laboratory and hospital training costs

International students typically pay in full and may be required to pay a larger upfront deposit at enrolment.

Scholarships

MAHSA offers scholarship programmes for outstanding applicants, covering up to 50% of tuition for academic merit awards. Clinical programmes operate under separate scholarship criteria.

Why MAHSA for Indonesian Students?

Additional advantages:

• Self-contained 48-acre campus with teaching facilities, student accommodation, and sports facilities on site
• On-campus MAHSA Dental Clinic providing real clinical training environment
• Established Indonesian student community
• Clinical training affiliations with hospitals across the Klang Valley
