by the Department of Higher Education Malaysia in collaboration with Education
Malaysia Global Services (EMGS) and five selected universities in Malaysia.

Student mobility (inbound) program was one of the programs recommended by the
Ministry of Education, and the primary purpose of the program was to provide
exposure and interaction between local and international students. This program
encourages the arrival of international students to Malaysia for short and long-term
programs. Generally, this student mobility program can have a significant impact

internationalization @ home programs. The concept of this program was to expose
participants to Malaysian culture, language, travel, and heritage.

The main objectives of the program were:
i. To enhance the collaborative effort between the Ministry of Education Malaysia

and Ministry of Education abroad.
ii. To strengthen international relations and build partnerships with student

exchange between countries.
iii. To improve student motivation through international experience.

iv. To promote higher learning institutions (HLI) internationally as well as
establishing good relations between the local universities involved.

v. To encourage students to develop ideas.
vi. To give exposure to international students on Malaysian educational

institutions while letting them interact with the local students and forming social
networking with them.
