Thus it is important to the marketers and to the institution itself to know the factors that influence the student intention and to understand the nature of the relationship among them. These factors are significant from the perspective of the higher education institution marketing strategy planning for student recruitment. As a result, a further investigation of the factors that influence international students’ intention to study in Malaysia is proposed in this study. Higher education must increase the national and international recognition of its institution through research and creative achievement.

Similarly, higher education institution need to improve their retention and graduation rates by recruit more students to their institution. To maintain their image and improve their ranking, higher education institution must improve in these areas.
