The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of international students of the impact of multiculturalism at institutions of Malaysian higher education. Data were collected through employing questionnaires and focus-group interviews. The respondents in this study were all international students in twelve public Malaysian universities. The results of this study show that the institutions of higher education in Malaysia provide their students with good facilities for helping them to overcome study difficulties. Although the results indicate that the institutions of higher education in Malaysia provide good services and facilities for sport activities, health services and food services, results reveal that improvement of services provided at language and counselling canters should be given more attention by authorities. On the other hand, the results of this study show that services and facilities for housing and vegetarian food should be improved. Finally, the findings show that the institutions of higher education in Malaysia have gained good reputation due to (a) the presence of international students, (b) encouragement for academic research and (c) providing good opportunities for scholarships
