Liverpool enjoys many long-standing links with Malaysia and offers a warm welcome to Malaysian students. We have more than 2,500 alumni based in Malaysia, with over 390 living in Kuala Lumpur.

I like how the university has lots of societies. Joining societies has helped me improve my communication skills and allowed me to learn more about the cultures of my friends from other countries.
