A Solid Foundation with a Global Experience at NUMed

A global learning experience exposes individuals to diverse cultures, languages, and perspectives, which can broaden their understanding of the world and help them appreciate different ways of thinking and problem-solving. This is an instrumental step in helping them to establish a strong foundation upon which they can navigate an increasingly borderless world to attain their aspirations.

Strategically situated in Johor, Malaysia, Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (NUMed) is well-equipped to provide students with a truly global experience. As an international branch campus of Newcastle University, UK, NUMed employs the same curricula that are being used at its parent campus, thus giving students in Malaysia and around the South East Asian region easy access to acclaimed UK education that is widely recognised across the globe.

Those pursuing the university’s undergraduate programmes will have the opportunity to study at the UK campus, subsequently allowing them to be exposed to a larger, global community. For example, those who enroll on its 2 + 1 BSc (Honours) Biomedical Sciences (BMS) programme will head over to the UK for their final year of studies, while Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) students may opt to participate in an exchange programme or pursue their intercalated studies at the UK campus before heading back to NUMed to complete their studies. Additionally, the MBBS programme is widely recognised by professional bodies around the world, including the General Medical Council, UK (GMC); Malaysian Medical Council (MMC); Medical Council of Thailand; Maldives Medical and Dental Council; Pakistan Medical Commission; and Mauritius Higher Education Commission.

As a multicultural and diverse university, NUMed provides students with the opportunity to interact with peers and academics from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and nationalities. The exposure allows students to expand their areas of interests and learn about different perspectives, ideas, and beliefs, which can broaden their understanding of the world and enhance their critical thinking skills, thus ensuring that they will be adequately prepared to face the challenges of their careers no matter where they go.

Additionally, students will also be able to gain vast exposure via events like seminars, talks, and workshops and have access to prominent local and international industry players as well as a multitude of clubs and societies.
