Info / Insights: The International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) claims to be the only Islamic university that uses English as its medium of instruction. This is not surprising as the university enrolled 18,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students from over 90 countries in 2007. Founded in 1983, the bachelor degree tuition fees for international students range from about RM 7,000 (Human Sciences) to RM 39,000 (Medicine) per academic year.

The 700-acres Gombak (or Kuala Lumpur) campus sits on the foothill of the beautiful Klang Gates Quartz Ridge. Universiti Islam Antarabangsa (UIA or UIAM) has a Kuantan branch campus which is bigger in land size. In addition, there's the smaller Petaling Jaya Campus and the The International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization (ISTAC) faculty in Jalan Duta, KL.
