The Malaysian Program is an educational program dedicated to developing the Korean language proficiency required for Malaysian government scholarship recipients to gain admission to universities in Korea specializing in materials science and engineering. Since September 2000, approximately 40 scholarship recipients each year have enrolled in major engineering universities in Korea after completing intermediate-to-advanced Korean language training and foundational engineering courses at the Seoul National University Korean Language Education Center. Over a total period of 1 year and 8 months, students first study basic Korean in Malaysia for approximately 8 months. After completing this stage, they travel to Korea to finish the remaining one year, during which they take intermediate Korean language courses while acquiring foundational knowledge in subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, information technology (IT), and marketing, depending on their chosen major.
