Malaysia is the most affordable serious option on this list, and it is a natural fit for many Bangladeshi families: a Muslim-majority country, a two-hour flight from Dhaka, and halal food everywhere without having to look for it.

British and Australian universities run full branch campuses there β€” Monash, Nottingham, Heriot-Watt β€” so you can take a UK or Australian degree at roughly a third of the cost of studying in those countries.

Why students choose it

  • Branch campuses of Monash, Nottingham and Heriot-Watt
  • Total cost far below the UK, US or Australia
  • Two hours from Dhaka, and halal food is the default
  • English is the language of instruction throughout
