Make the Most of Your Medical Education Journey

There is no doubt that getting into a medical school requires a brilliant academic record and an outstanding medical school application. Students interested in pursuing medical education must be well-prepared for the rigours of medical school. Therefore, choosing an institution with a clear path to your desired career will help you avoid decision fatigue. If you're looking for a university to help you get a solid start in the medical field, Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (NUMed) may be your best choice, and here’s why:

1. The Best of Both Worlds

With a strong presence in Malaysia for over a decade, this international branch campus draws on the legacy of Newcastle University in the UK, which was established in 1834 as a medical school and has always been at the forefront of research and teaching, with its reputation externally confirmed to be of the highest international quality.

The establishment of NUMed here in Malaysia means that students within the country and the region have the advantage of getting the best of both worlds – quality UK medical education right at their doorstep at an affordable price. What’s more, the programmes of study lead to the award of the same degrees as those provided at the parent campus in the UK.

2. A Benchmark in Academic Excellence

NUMed aspires to provide globally acclaimed medical education, which is responsive to the evolving needs of the Malaysian healthcare sector, and to retain national and international students of the highest academic excellence. In accordance with this, the university cultivates an academic culture and environment that will support the recruitment and retention of high-calibre faculty and staff, as well as empowering them in the pursuit of scholarship, high-quality teaching, and the production of excellent graduates prepared for the global health economy of the 21st century.

Additionally, NUMed’s curriculum is designed to complement independent self-study among students and develop habits that are beneficial in lifelong learning. The university also provides students with ample research opportunities in a variety of areas throughout their studies.

3. Fostering a Collaborative Community

NUMed has a compassionate academic community in which students may learn from experts and receive the credentials needed to improve their learning experience and academic success. Students, regardless of their background, can participate in a supportive, encouraging, and inspiring environment. Developing positive relationships with the community will ensure that medical students have the knowledge, understanding, skills, competencies, and professional attitudes necessary for future professional practice.

4. A Multi-Focus Perspective to Student Life

Attending a university does not mean that students must devote all of their time to studying. At NUMed, students are encouraged to maintain a healthy work-life balance by participating in student activities. The registered Student Association oversees a plethora of clubs and organisations, and students will undoubtedly discover their interest as well as engaging in a diverse community regionally and globally. In addition, there are excellent sports facilities at EduCity Iskandar Malaysia for students to use in their free time!

NUMed offers a pre-undergraduate programme – Foundation in Biological and Biomedical Sciences – and two undergraduate programmes: Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) and BSc (Hons) Biomedical Sciences (BMS).
