Once we have considered your application and you are pre-selected, you will be invited to attend an interview.
Interviews will be conducted from December 2013.
Interviews will be held at the NUMed Malaysia campus in Johor, and in other centres within Malaysia including in Kuala Lumpur and in East Malaysia. In certain circumstances, we can arrange for you to be interviewed elsewhere, including in the UK.
The interview, conducted by two trained selectors, will last approximately 30 minutes.
The interview format is designed to confirm whether you have the aptitude, motivation and personal qualities to succeed as a medical student in NUMed Malaysia, and as a potential doctor of the future.
At the conclusion of the interview each selector will grade your performance and complete an assessment form. These grades are used as the basis for the final decision to offer you a place on the programme.
At interview you will be assessed and graded under the following main categories:
Selectors will expect you to show some insight into your personal attributes, the learning that has resulted from your previous experiences, and an understanding of the relevance of these factors to a career in medicine.
You will be informed of the outcome of your interview and whether you will be offered a place to study medicine at NUMed Malaysia, or not within one week of your interview.
