Medicine is a highly regarded profession that is high in demand. This is especially true in recent times with the constant emergence of new viruses that challenge our healthcare. 

The UK has always been a top choice for students seeking quality medical education, thanks to its long legacy of offering top-notch education and globally recognised credentials. Now, aspiring doctors in Malaysia and the surrounding region can experience this on Malaysian shores. Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (NUMed), an international branch campus of Newcastle University, UK, offers world-class UK medical education in Johor, Malaysia. 

School leavers who are interested in becoming doctors can take the first step by enrolling for the university’s Foundation in Biological and Biomedical Sciences, a pre-undergraduate programme, before proceeding with its Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme. 

NUMed’s MBBS students are taught the same things as their UK counterparts. At the core of their studies is a well-reputed UK medical curriculum that encompasses a holistic approach to facilitate a thorough understanding of human anatomy and physiological functioning. 

Additionally, students get the chance to work with academics and research teams from around the world whilst also gaining firsthand knowledge and experience working in clinical settings. As a result of NUMed’s close collaborations with the team at Newcastle University, UK, as well as other universities and healthcare organisations throughout the world, students are able to expand their knowledge and worldview as well. 

The MBBS programme at NUMed is a five-year undergraduate programme that is equivalent to the one taught at the UK Medical School. It is recognised by the General Medical Council of the United Kingdom (GMC), the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC), the Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC), the Medical Council of Thailand, and the Medical Council of India, and approved by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).
