Make Graduate Programme initiative more impactful


THE Graduate Programme, part of the government’s Visa Liberalisation Plan that was implemented on Dec 1, 2023 to generate national income, has sparked mixed reactions.

The programme offers international students from 23 countries who have completed their bachelor’s degree or higher at any institution of higher education in Malaysia an opportunity to stay in the country for a period of 12 months to further their studies, travel, or work part-time in permitted job sectors.
