University of Southampton Malaysia / Route planner

One course choice.
Two possible geographies.

Computer Science stays in Malaysia. Mechanical Engineering offers a 2+2 route to the UK, as well as a separate 4+0 option. Start with the route before comparing the price.

Official sources checked 10 November 2026. This guide gives selected course examples for Indian applicants, not a university-wide offer or fee quote.

Annual fees.
Not an all-in degree total.

These are international tuition examples from the named programme pages. Both courses list a September intake. No exact 2027 application deadline is quoted here.

BSc Computer Science / Malaysia

3 years, full time
in Malaysia

The course page's current annual international tuition.
RM 51,450 / yearAbout Rs 12.07 lakh per year, before applicable SST.
MEng Mechanical Engineering 2+2

Years 1 & 2
in Malaysia

Each Malaysia year, not both years combined.
RM 62,900 / yearAbout Rs 14.76 lakh per year, before applicable SST.
MEng Mechanical Engineering 2+2

Years 3 & 4
in the UK

Each UK year. The official page also quotes its own ringgit equivalent below.
GBP 24,800 / yearAbout Rs 31.59 lakh per year at the dated GBP/INR rate.University-stated equivalent: RM 141,112 / year (about Rs 33.09 lakh at the dated MYR/INR rate). This is the university's conversion, not ours. It does not match the dated INR conversions used here.

The programme pages say international fees are subject to 6% SST. Ask for the exact intake, location-specific tax treatment, extra charges and scholarship terms in the written schedule. We do not deduct an assumed UK transition bursary or multiply these annual figures into a guaranteed degree total. Housing, living costs, travel and immigration charges are separate.

Indicative INR: RM 1 = Rs 23.4525 and GBP 1 = Rs 127.361, 29 October 2026 close. Your payment rate and future fees will differ.
03 / Qualification first

An Indian board result
needs its own assessment.

The checked tables list A-Level, IB, STPM and UEC. They do not publish a CBSE, ISC or Indian State Board percentage for these courses. Other equivalent international qualifications are considered. Do not convert an A-Level offer into an invented Indian-board cut-off.

Computer Science example

The current course page lists A-Level AAC, ABB or A*BC, including Grade A in Mathematics. These are A-Level requirements, not Indian Class XII percentages.

The separate southampton.ac.uk Malaysia entry table shows different, higher Computer Science grades. Use the current named-course page as an enquiry starting point, not a binding offer. Get the requirement for your board, subjects, course and intake confirmed in writing.

Undergraduate English

IELTS Academic

6.5overall
6.0Reading minimum
6.0Listening minimum
6.0Speaking minimum
6.0Writing minimum

Both named degree pages and the university's undergraduate English page state 6.5 overall with no component below 6.0. Other English qualifications may be accepted; do not assume an Indian school-English waiver.

Foundation English is not one blanket score

The checked English page lists Engineering Foundation with a language pathway at IELTS 5.5 overall and additional English modules, or 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each component for the non-language pathway. It lists Computer Science Foundation at 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each component, and Business Foundation at 5.5 overall with 5.5 in each component. Confirm the pathway on the offer.

04 / Before you apply

Keep assumptions
out of the budget.

Scholarships are open to Malaysian and international applicants and are described as bond-free. The published table has A-Level, STPM and UEC bands, not an Indian-board award band.

A scholarship's existence is not a confirmed award. Ask which scheme, course, amount, period and renewal terms apply to your actual results.

  1. Choose the exact route

    Computer Science in Malaysia, Mechanical Engineering 2+2, or the separate 4+0 programme. The place of study changes the budget.

  2. Settle the qualification mapping

    Use your actual Indian-board transcript, subject marks and English evidence. Ask for the intake-specific offer conditions.

  3. Get the complete written schedule

    Reconcile annual tuition, taxes, other charges, any award and accommodation before committing. A September intake is not an application deadline.

05 / Living near the campus

Check the residence,
not just the name.

The accommodation page names EcoNest, Hako Village and Macrolink Serviced Residence. This guide does not quote a room rate. Confirm availability, room type, deposits, commute and current contract terms for your intake.

Does 4+0 mean the same route as 2+2?

No. The Mechanical Engineering page describes 2+2 as two Malaysia years followed by two UK years. It describes 4+0 as entirely in Malaysia with a compulsory internship, and says specialisations and specialist modules differ in Years 3 and 4. Check the exact programme and fee schedule, not only the MEng title.

Can an Indian-board applicant use the scholarship table?

The table is open to international applicants, but it publishes A-Level, STPM and UEC bands. It does not establish a CBSE, ISC or State Board award. Get a written assessment before counting on a reduction.
