Are you a Sudanese student looking to continue your education abroad but unsure about tuition fees, admission requirements, student visa procedures or whether your degree will be recognised after graduation?
Malaysia could be one of the study destinations worth considering, especially if you're looking for English-taught programmes, a wide range of university options and scholarship opportunities that may help make tuition fees more affordable.
However, Sudanese students need to pay attention to some additional procedures, including the No-Objection Certificate (NOC), passport requirements, entry visas and yellow fever vaccination rules when travelling from certain countries.
At the same time, universities such as Lincoln University College and City University Malaysia offer competitively priced programmes, with potential tuition discounts of up to 50% for eligible students and selected courses, depending on the offers available at the time of application.
In this complete 2026 guide, NUBA Education explains everything Sudanese students need to know about studying in Malaysia, including universities, available programmes, tuition fees after scholarships, Sudanese certificate acceptance, degree recognition, EMGS and NOC procedures, student visa requirements, living costs and travel preparations.
Why Do Sudanese Students Choose to Study in Malaysia?
1. Affordable Tuition Fees and Scholarship Opportunities
Malaysia has public universities, private universities and international educational institutions offering programmes at different price levels.
Tuition fees vary depending on the university, field of study and qualification level.
Sudanese students may find relatively affordable options at certain private universities, especially when scholarships or tuition discounts are available.
For example, selected computer science programmes at Lincoln University College may start from approximately RM12,000 per year after an eligible scholarship, based on offers that students can enquire about through NUBA.
NUBA's university directory also lists selected computer science programmes at City University Malaysia with indicative tuition fees of approximately RM11,000 per year.
However, these figures are not final admission offers. Actual tuition fees may vary depending on the programme, intake, scholarship eligibility and additional charges.
2. English-Taught University Programmes
Many Malaysian universities offer programmes taught in English, particularly in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, Medicine and Technology.
Students who need to improve their English before university may be able to take a preparatory English course, provided the intended university accepts the chosen programme.
IELTS and equivalent English language requirements vary between institutions and programmes.
3. An International Student Community
Malaysia welcomes international students from Arab, African, Asian and European countries.
Many areas provide access to halal food, mosques, student services and public transportation.
The presence of Sudanese and other Arabic-speaking communities may also help students adjust during their first few months abroad.
4. Different Accommodation Options
Students can choose between university accommodation, shared rooms and private rooms depending on their budgets and university locations.
However, accommodation costs should always be considered alongside transportation expenses.
A cheaper room located far from the university may not be the most economical option.
5. Bachelor's, Master's and PhD Opportunities
Studying in Malaysia is not limited to undergraduate degrees.
Sudanese graduates can also explore master's and PhD programmes in technology, engineering, management, business and research-related fields.
Admission and scholarship requirements depend on previous qualifications and the structure of each programme.

For more details, read our Study Medicine in Malaysia 2026 Guide.
English Language Courses
If you need to improve your English before starting university, you can compare language institutes such as ELS, EMS and Sheffield Academy.
However, you should confirm that your future university accepts the selected English programme if your goal is to meet its language admission requirements.
Explore the options in our Study English in Malaysia 2026 Guide.

Students should confirm whether this tax is already included in the university quotation or will be added to the final invoice.
For further details, read the Official Education Malaysia Explanation of SST on Tuition Fees.
Cost of Living in Malaysia for Sudanese Students
Living expenses depend on the city, accommodation arrangements and personal lifestyle.
A Sudanese student living in shared accommodation can begin planning with an estimated monthly budget of approximately RM1,500–RM2,500, although actual costs may be lower or higher.
| Expense | Estimated Monthly Cost |
|---|---|
| Shared Accommodation | RM500–RM900 |
| Food | RM500–RM800 |
| Transportation | RM100–RM200 |
| Phone and Utilities | RM100–RM200 |

| Estimated Total | RM1,350–RM2,500 |
These are general planning estimates, not fixed official prices.
They exclude tuition, visa fees, insurance, flight tickets and accommodation deposits.
Students may reduce their expenses by sharing accommodation, cooking at home and using public transportation.
However, choosing accommodation far from campus simply because it is cheaper may increase daily travel expenses.
Sudanese Secondary School Certificate Requirements for Malaysian Universities
Malaysian universities consider various international qualifications, and the Sudanese Secondary School Certificate may be assessed for admission depending on the institution and programme.
Acceptance depends on the certificate, academic results, subjects studied and specific programme requirements.
Common Documents for Bachelor's Degree Admission
Students may need:
Sudanese Secondary School Certificate.
Academic transcript or statement of results.
Valid passport.
Passport-sized photograph.
English proficiency evidence when required.
Additional university-specific documents.
For example, Engineering programmes may require suitable results in Mathematics and Physics, while medical programmes generally expect strong performance in Biology, Chemistry and other science subjects.
Can Students With Lower Grades Apply?
Some programmes have different minimum academic requirements.
Students who do not qualify for direct bachelor's degree admission may be able to explore foundation or diploma pathways.
However, they should confirm eligibility and any progression requirements before registering.
A foundation or diploma programme does not automatically guarantee progression into every bachelor's degree.
What If My Sudanese Certificate Has Not Been Translated?
Some Malaysian universities require an official translation of academic certificates or transcripts, along with verification or attestation when applicable.
NUBA Education can assist Sudanese students with obtaining educational certificates and academic documents from Sudan and arranging their translation, in accordance with official procedures and the requirements of the issuing authority and receiving university.
This service can help students prepare their admission documents, particularly when obtaining the required paperwork is difficult.
What If My Certificate Is Lost or Difficult to Obtain?
Students can contact NUBA to discuss possible assistance with obtaining academic documents or requesting official replacements from the relevant authorities in Sudan.
However, the final decision to accept replacement or alternative documents belongs to the university and competent authorities.
Master's and PhD Requirements for Sudanese Students
Master's Degree
Universities generally require a recognised bachelor's degree, academic transcripts and evidence of English proficiency when applicable.
Some research-based programmes may also require a research proposal or supervisor approval.
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
PhD applicants typically need an appropriate postgraduate qualification, a suitable academic record and a research proposal.
Specific admission requirements vary by programme and research area.
Can Sudanese Students Study in Malaysia Without IELTS?
Some universities accept alternative English language tests or approved preparatory programmes.
However, this does not automatically mean students are exempt from demonstrating English proficiency.
Applicants must also satisfy applicable EMGS requirements.
If you need to improve your English, you can Explore English Language Institutes Through NUBA or try the NUBA English Placement Test for an initial assessment of your level.
Malaysia Student Visa for Sudanese Students in 2026
After receiving an offer from an eligible Malaysian university or language institute, international students begin the Student Pass application process through authorised channels, involving Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS).
Sudanese passport holders must also pay attention to certain additional requirements.
1. Copies of All Passport Pages
EMGS guidelines require Sudanese students to submit copies of all passport pages, including blank pages, rather than only the personal information page.
Applicants should also ensure their passports meet the validity requirements for a new Student Pass application, including the published minimum of 18 months.
2. No-Objection Certificate (NOC)
The No-Objection Certificate (NOC) is a required document for Sudanese students under the relevant Malaysian student visa procedures.
According to EMGS guidance, the educational institution submits the NOC request and its representatives collect the document from the Sudanese Embassy in Kuala Lumpur through the prescribed process.
The embassy's published requirements include an offer letter from a university, college or language centre, together with a copy of the passport information page.
Can NUBA Help Obtain the NOC?
Yes. NUBA Education offers assistance with obtaining and following up on the No-Objection Certificate (NOC) for Sudanese students.
Our team helps students prepare the necessary documents, coordinate with the educational institution and relevant authorities, and follow the application through the official process.
The Sudanese Embassy remains responsible for issuing the certificate. Assistance from NUBA does not guarantee issuance if the relevant requirements are not met.
For more information, consult the Sudanese Embassy's Consular Services and Official EMGS Document Requirements.
3. Single Entry Visa (SEV)
Sudan is among the countries whose nationals are required to obtain a Single Entry Visa (SEV) before travelling to Malaysia for study purposes, under the applicable procedures.
This step must be completed following the necessary approvals and in accordance with the instructions of the Malaysian authorities.
Check the Official EMGS List of Countries Requiring an SEV.
Do Sudanese Students Need a Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate to Enter Malaysia?
This is an important consideration, particularly for Sudanese students living in Sudan or residing in other countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates or Egypt.
Malaysian authorities require a yellow fever vaccination certificate from travellers who meet the applicable conditions relating to arrival from, visits to, or transit through countries classified as yellow fever risk areas.
EMGS publishes an official list of these countries.
Which Countries Are on the Yellow Fever List?
The list includes several African countries, such as:
Sudan.
Chad.
South Sudan.
Ethiopia.
Kenya.
Uganda.
Nigeria.
Ghana.
Cameroon.
Senegal.
Mali.
Angola.
Democratic Republic of the Congo.
It also includes countries in South and Central America, such as Brazil, Colombia and Peru.
You can view the complete official list here:
Download the EMGS Yellow Fever Risk Countries List — PDF.
What If a Sudanese Student Lives in Saudi Arabia or Another Country Not on the List?
It is important to distinguish between nationality, country of residence and actual travel history.
For example, a Sudanese student who legally resides in Saudi Arabia and travels directly from Saudi Arabia to Malaysia may not need a yellow fever vaccination certificate if they have not recently visited a listed risk country and no relevant transit requirements apply.
A valid Saudi residence permit, together with travel history and flight documentation, can help establish the student's country of residence and departure.
However, proof of residence is not an automatic exemption in every situation. Students must check their travel route, previous visits and the requirements of Malaysian authorities and the airline before departure.
What If a Student Is Travelling From Sudan or Chad?
If a student is arriving from a country on the risk list and meets the conditions requiring vaccination, they must carry a valid international yellow fever vaccination certificate.
According to Malaysian health guidance, the certificate becomes valid ten days after vaccination and remains valid for life under the applicable international vaccination rules.
Can Airport Transit Affect Yellow Fever Requirements?
Yes. Transit through an airport in a yellow fever risk country may affect the requirements, particularly when transit exceeds 12 hours, according to Malaysian health guidance.
Students should therefore check the countries where their flights stop, not only the country of departure.
NUBA Tip: Before booking your flight, share your current country of residence, proposed travel route and relevant travel details with your education adviser so the applicable documentation can be checked with the relevant authorities.

EMGS Medical Screening Guidelines.
Can Sudanese Students Apply From Saudi Arabia, the UAE or Egypt?
Yes. Sudanese students residing in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt or other countries can apply to study in Malaysia without having to return to Sudan just to begin their university admission process.
Students can complete their university applications and admission procedures from their country of residence.
However, certain document requirements, Single Entry Visa (SEV) procedures and application steps may vary depending on where the student lives.
Sudanese students residing in countries that are not on the yellow fever risk list may provide proof of residence when necessary, subject to their travel history and the applicable Malaysian health-entry rules.
We recommend contacting a NUBA education adviser before beginning the process to obtain the latest information for your country of residence and assistance with university admission and visa procedures.
Scholarships in Malaysia for Sudanese Students in 2026
Scholarships and tuition discounts may be available at several Malaysian universities, including certain offers open to Sudanese students.
The amount of financial assistance depends on the institution, programme, academic performance and applicable scholarship conditions.
Lincoln University College Scholarships for Sudanese Students
Lincoln University College may offer scholarships or tuition discounts of up to 50% for selected eligible students.
For example, certain computer science programmes may start from approximately RM12,000 per year after the eligible discount, based on offers students can enquire about through NUBA.
Students should confirm the eligibility conditions, whether the discount continues throughout the full programme and which additional charges are excluded.
City University Malaysia Scholarships for Sudanese Students
City University Malaysia offers scholarships and financial assistance schemes with different eligibility requirements.
Sudanese students can also enquire through NUBA about potential tuition discounts of up to 50% for certain eligible programmes and offers.
However, students must confirm their actual discount and whether it has already been applied to an advertised or indicative tuition fee.
Is a Scholarship Guaranteed for Every Sudanese Student?
No. Scholarships and tuition discounts are not automatically granted simply because an applicant holds Sudanese nationality.
Eligibility may depend on the programme, academic grades, intake date, university conditions and seat availability.
We recommend contacting NUBA advisers before applying to check available scholarship opportunities and obtain confirmation of the final tuition fees after any discount.
Master's and PhD Scholarships
Some institutions may offer research funding or postgraduate scholarships.
Eligibility typically depends on academic qualifications, research experience, the proposed research topic and the funding provider's criteria.
Are Malaysian Universities Recognised in Sudan?
Degree recognition is one of the most important matters Sudanese students should investigate before choosing a university.
Malaysian universities operate within the country's higher education regulatory framework, while academic programmes are evaluated through relevant bodies such as the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).
Accreditation of the institution and programme in Malaysia is an important factor when a qualification is assessed abroad.
Are All Accredited Malaysian Universities Recognised in Sudan?
Certain accredited Malaysian universities have had qualifications from their graduates assessed or recognised through Sudanese procedures.
However, accreditation in Malaysia does not automatically guarantee that every programme offered by a university will be recognised in Sudan without checking the institution, qualification, study mode and degree level.
Sudan's Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research provides a platform containing foreign universities whose graduates' qualifications have previously undergone assessment or equivalency procedures.
You can consult the Sudanese Ministry of Higher Education's Foreign Universities Platform.
Students can also check Malaysian programme accreditation through the Malaysian Qualifications Register (MQR).
How Can You Verify Recognition Before Enrolling?
Students should consult Sudan's Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, the relevant Sudanese authorities and professional bodies where applicable.
They can also contact a NUBA education adviser for guidance on which authorities and resources to consult.
Important notice: This information is provided for educational guidance only. It is not an official recognition certificate or a guarantee of degree equivalency in Sudan. Final recognition decisions belong to the competent Sudanese authorities.
Professional programmes such as Medicine, Engineering and Pharmacy may also involve additional registration or licensing requirements after graduation.

Education Malaysia guidance indicates that eligible students may be permitted to work for up to 20 hours per week during certain semester breaks or holidays exceeding seven days, subject to the applicable rules.
A Student Pass is not an unrestricted work permit.
Students should therefore avoid relying on part-time employment as a guaranteed way to pay their tuition fees.

Can Sudanese Students Work in Malaysia After Graduation?
Residency and employment requirements after graduation differ from those for students.
A Student Pass does not automatically become an employment pass after graduation.
Certain graduate pathways, including the Graduate Pass, have specific eligibility requirements and nationality restrictions.
Sudanese passport holders should not assume that they qualify for these programmes.
Students who intend to work in Malaysia after completing their studies should review the legal immigration and employment options available at the time of graduation.
