Why is there so little discussion on UTAR courses and intake in this thread? UTAR is a good university with a nice campus and very reasonable fees but it is not given due consideration by students. Apparently students prefer unis with foreign sounding names despite most of them being price gouging profit motivated enterprises with limited campus facilities. For Engineering UTAR charges 1/4 of Monash Malaysia. The epitome of crass commercialization is Sunway Uni charging parents a fee to attend their children's graduation. Yes, this is a fact; I was there myself.

Students, you are not going to get a better education at one of the foreign sounding private unis compared to UTAR. In terms of employer acceptance UTAR loses to none of them. So do give UTAR a chance instead of making your parents cough up big money for Taylor's Monash, Nottingham or Sunway.

UTAR graduates are highly acceptable to employers. Their tuition fees are low because the university is not run for profit. There is no need to pay 4-5 times more for a profit oriented foreign name university and get no advantage whatsoever when you graduate.
