If you are looking for a career that will make a difference in the world, look no further than becoming a doctor. After all, a medical professional plays an instrumental role in nurturing a healthier and happier world.

A sound medical education will help you realise your ambition. Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (NUMed), an international branch campus of Newcastle University, UK, is well-equipped to give you a strong start. Strategically located in Johor, Malaysia, NUMed offers globally recognised British education taught by skilled academics from all over the world.

Both local and international students, who meet the necessary requirements may choose to enrol in NUMed’s Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme, a five-year holistically integrated medical degree which mirrors the one provided at Newcastle University in the UK.

At NUMed, MBBS students will be exposed to a comprehensive medical curriculum. This facilitates the cultivation of future medical professionals who will be able to grasp a thorough understanding of the science of the human body as well as building the aptitude and competence to research human physiological functioning.

Apart from in-class learning, NUMed also gives priority to preparing students for real-world situations. Among others, students will be given the opportunity to learn from a global team of academics and researchers from both the Malaysia and UK campuses as well as healthcare and other related organisations throughout the world. This will help them to acquire first-hand knowledge of working in clinical and hospital settings within an international landscape. Additionally, they are also given the privilege of opting for an extra year of intercalated research studies at either Bachelors or Masters level in the UK. 

Furthermore, an MBBS degree from NUMed opens the door for its graduates to practise medicine, not only in Malaysia, but across the globe as well. This is because the medical programme offered by NUMed is recognised and accredited by the General Medical Council, UK (GMC); Malaysian Medical Council (MMC); The Medical Council of Thailand; Maldives Medical and Dental Council; Pakistan Medical Commission; and Mauritius Higher Education Commission.

NUMed strives to provide excellence in the field of healthcare sciences. A career in medicine will always be in demand.
