Rating summary
What students say

Student life stands out as a significant strength, receiving the highest rating. Accommodation presents the weakest area for the institution. Other rated aspects, including facilities, internationality, and value, also garnered favorable scores, indicating a generally positive university experience.

This institution presents a uniform, undeveloped profile across all evaluated aspects. With zero ratings in facilities, professors, location, student life, accommodation, internationality, and value, there are no standout strengths. Conversely, every category equally represents the institution's weakest areas, indicating a comprehensive lack of development or positive perception in these fundamental university components.

This institution demonstrates strengths in its teaching quality and geographic positioning, both receiving a strong 4 out of 5. However, its facilities and student life offerings are areas for improvement, each scoring a lower 2.5. Accommodations and its international profile are moderately rated at 3 and 3.5 respectively, with value for money also reflecting a decent 3.5.

I studied tourism at UAB for one semester in 2022. I was supposed to stay for a full year, but my experience wasn't good and I left after the first semester. First of all, the housing area (Villa universitária) has mold. I was sick constantly during my exhange and went through multiple respiratory infections. I also had almost daily headaches and a very painful and strong cough. All of this eased after a couple weeks once I returned to my home country. Other exhange students told me about having the same issues and some noticed mold in their apartment walls. The housing area at times is very unsave and not controlled properly. The tourism faculty is located in the same building with the housing area reception. Therefore, it was very excluded from the rest of the campus. That's why, I didn't really get to use any of the services offered at the campus or get a real university experience. UAB also has a medical centre for "all students" according to their website, yet this doesn't include tourism students. I was turned away from the centre despite being extremely sick once they heard I study tourism at the school. The classes focused more on remembering as much information as you can to pass the exam, rather than focusing on understanding, critical thinking etc. The teachers were very often late to classes, they felt very unmotivated and I received very little feedback. In short, I do not recommend UAB. My experience was a loss of money and time.

International students, avoid the entire country

HUGE RED FLAG for International Students (The "Internship Trap" - AVOID THE COUNTRY) Don’t get blinded by the marketing. I’m an international student who just finished here, and the system is designed to leave you stranded. Here is the reality INTI won't tell you before you pay: The Internship Trap: They host programs that require an internship to graduate, but the Malaysian government doesn't offer a post-grad work visa for most nationalities. The university knows this but provides zero solutions. You’re essentially paying for a degree you can’t legally complete without a miracle. Degree Hostage: After you finish, they hold your actual degree certificate hostage for about 8 months. They’ll give you a "Completion Letter," but good luck using that for a job or a visa in another country. Most places want the real deal, which INTI takes forever to release. The Graduation Tax: Because your visa expires right after classes end and the degree isn't ready for months, you’re forced to fly home and then fly back (3x 26-hour flights in my case) just to walk across a stage for a ceremony you already paid for. Zero Duty of Care: They are happy to take your tuition, but once the visa/internship issues hit, you’re on your own. If you aren't from one of the few "lucky" countries that get the 1-year Graduate Pass, STAY AWAY. You’ll end up with no work experience, no physical degree for nearly a year, and a massive bill for flights. Look at Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS) rules very carefully before signing anything. I have also seen unqualified students buy their way into the final year knowing full well that they know nothing about first year topics. And now the CEO is so money hungry that he is trying to offer high credit subjects in short semesters which is completely infeasible, just to make a few extra bucks. The curriculum is horrible and just makes the student life more impossibly busy - 6 subjects in 1 semester. Especially the electives that are a complete waste of time and not really going to matter in your degree while stealing a lot of your attention. The facilities are also just horrible everywhere, in a state of disrepair, but somehow the student numbers keep increasing as well as the tuition. ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR MONEY
