Intakes

With its commitment to academic flexibility and student convenience, MDIS Malaysia offers multiple annual intakes, allowing international and local students to embark on their academic journey at the most suitable time. These major MDIS Malaysia intakes starting in September, January/February, and June are strategically timed to align with diverse course structures and student timelines for busy applicants.
 

The flagship September intake offers the widest range of MDIS Malaysia courses, covering all levels like Certificate, Foundation, Diploma, and UK-partner Honours-degree programs. It marks the beginning of the academic year and is accompanied by a robust schedule of orientation, matriculation, and systematic progression through lecture, study, and exam weeks as per the official academic calendar.

This mid-academic-year intake in January for Certificate/Foundation/Diploma and February for Degree programs is ideal for students who have just completed schooling or academic programs abroad and wish to join without delay. Many diploma-level studies at MDIS kick off in January, while the UK-partner Bachelor’s (3-year Honours) programs begin in February.

The June intake provides a convenient mid-year entry point for prospective students wanting to commence their studies after the first quarter. Students entering Certificate, Foundation, or Diploma programs in June benefit from a streamlined orientation and begin lectures shortly afterwards, while Degree programme entrants enjoy parallel schedules with their UK-partner cohorts.
