First introduced in 2007,SETARA focuses on the quality of the teaching; it also gives some power back to the students by involving appraisals by students who will audit lecturers on several points including punctuality and satisfaction on the delivery of subjects.
The MQA Rating System for Higher Education Institutions in Malaysia for 2013 (SETARA '13) is the fourth rating exercise undertaken at the institutional level for universities and university colleges in Malaysia after the SETARA '11, SETARA '09 (using 2009 data) and SETARA 2007 (using 2006 data).
The resulting rating system uses a six-tier categorization with Tier 6 identified as "Outstanding" and Tier 1 as "Weak".
The position of the universities and university colleges in the respective tiers was based on their scores. It is a rating of the top universities in Malaysia.
Using a six-tier category, the SETARA Rating System ranges from:
Tier Six (Outstanding)
Tier Five (Excellent)
UCSI University has produced top A-Levels graduates
UCSI University is upgraded to Tier 5 Excellent Rating in the SETARA 2013
Tier Four (Very Good)
Tier Three (Good)
Tier Two (Satisfactory)
Tier One (Weak)
SETARA’13 evaluated 53 higher learning institutions (IPTs) in Malaysia. It serves as a measuring tool to assess the quality of teaching and learning, using the Malaysian Qualifications Framework (MQF) for Bachelor’s Degree Programmes.
SETARA '13 is a review exercise involving 54 universities and university colleges that participated.
Forty-two IPTs achieved Tier 5 (Excellent) and 11 obtained Tier 4 (Very Good). None achieved Tier 6 (Distinction).
7 universities which were ranked in Tier 4 in the SETARA 2011 were upgraded to Tier 5 in the SETARA 2013 ranking. One university ranked in Tier 3 in the SETARA 2011 achieved Tier 4 in the SETARA 2013.
No university achieved Tier 6 (Outstanding) rating or Tier 3 and below.

EduSpiral Consultant Services is proud to represent some of the best universities in Malaysia that are ranked Tier 5 and Tier 4 in the SETARA 2013 university ranking.
Students should note that ranking systems are just a guide and choosing the best university that fits you should take into consideration the course, lecturers' experience, reputation & experience of the university, facilities, location, budget, student culture, student services, English-speaking student environment, and other factors.

How to choose the Best University in Malaysia to study at

Choosing the right university takes time to decide. You should visit the campus and talk to the staff and lecturers there.Check their facts to see what they say is true.

See if the environment and facilities are good. EduSpiral Consultant Services takes students to visit the universities' campuses to take them around for a tour and to give them in-depth counseling.
Some students choose their university because their friends are going there, or because their relatives said it was good, or the university was famous or glamourous.
Remember, you are choosing a university that will help to prepare you to work for the next 60 years of your life. If the university doesn't equip you with the necessary knowledge and skills, you would get a low salary for the next 60 years of your life.
When making a decision, it is important to decide based on facts and evidence. Many students have told me that they chose a university because their auntie or uncle said that it was good.
But the question is, "What is their definition of good?" What is actually specifically good about the university?
When we ask these uncles and aunties this question, they would say because they have heard of the university before or someone told them that it was good. Now, that's not a really good guide on choosing the university.
You must make your decisions based on facts and evidence, not on hearsay or gossip that is not supported by statistic, research, report or evidence.
Many students spend more time doing research to buy your mobile phone than on choosing the university. Don't you think spending time doing research and asking the right people about the university that could determine your future is more important? Would you ask a Doctor on how to repair your car?
The best university in Malaysia may not be the best university for you. In order to choose the right university that best fits you, you have to look at a few important points:

Know yourself in order to choose the right university in Malaysia

Choose the university in Malaysia with the best facilities

  • The most expensive universities doesn't mean that they are the best. The university should have adequate facilities in order to run the course.
  • If you do not have opportunities to work with the tools or equipment, you won't get the training needed.

Choose a university with years of experience

  • An experienced university would be approved by the Malaysian Ministry of Education and have its courses accredited by

    MQA.
  • The experienced university would have its courses accredited or recognised by the various professional bodies such as the Board of Engineers Malaysia, Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia, Pharmacy Board, Malaysian Medical Council, etc.
  • With years of experience, the university would have set in place systems that work, have networks with the industry, and the industry would know the university's graduates.
  • Universities with experience have won awards or their students have won awards in the various fields of study thus providing evidence that the programme there is good.

Choose a university with an English-speaking student environment

How much is the budget you have to study in Malaysia?
  • Many students have no idea how much their parents have set aside for their studies. It is like going to test drive a BMW and then tell the sales person that you don't have the money for it. Don't take it as an insult but it will sure save a lot of time if you know how much your parents have set aside for your studies.
  • Do ask your parents how much they are willing to spend. You can take the PTPN Loan and your parents can withdraw from their EPF for your studies. If you don't plan, you won't get there.
