Questionnaires were emailed to a total population of 540 international students of which 275 had responded and the analysis was carried out using SPSS. From the reliability test, only Low Cost, University Reputation, Academic Programs and Country Image are reliable in measuring the international students’ intention to enrol in UNIMAS. The multiple regression shows that all the factors are reliable at 1% significant level except for Academic Programs. The findings can assist UNIMAS to plan their strategy to promote UNIMAS in international level as well as to understand the critical factors that need to be improved in order to attract more international students and to give the best experience for the current students. 2017-07 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/36725/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/36725/1/36725.pdf text en public masters Universiti Teknologi MARA Sarawak, Kampus Samarahan Master in Business Administration
