Student Support and Guidance
Our strategy for your support and guidance is based on the provision of clear and timely information, academic guidance and individual tutorial support, backed up by a comprehensive network of personal support ranging from peer mentors through personal tutors to professional counsellors.
You are provided with Study Guides and/or Logbooks for each module and attachment. These indicate what you should learn and how this learning can be achieved. They provide you with learning outcomes, details of the programme of study, and guidance to support self-study, including self-assessment.
A member of staff is allocated to you as your Personal Tutor to offer general academic guidance and pastoral support. In addition, the NUMed Malaysia Student Council operates a ‘peer-parenting’ system whereby every new student is attached to a ‘family’ of senior students who are available to offer advice and guidance. We also have a Student Support Coordinator who assist you to find whatever support you need.
We take full advantage of our state-of-the-art communication and information technology to provide additional support throughout the learning process. NUMed Malaysia’s interactive electronic Learning Support Environment is available to help you in all aspects of your learning. This ‘Environment’ includes all programme documentation, electronic portfolios, student forums, assessment information, and access to on-line learning resources. You are able to access the ‘Environment’ both on and off campus, and full training is provided in its use.
Your input to the development of our curriculum is very important to us and many changes have been introduced in response to student feedback. There is a Staff–Student Committee for each Phase of the curriculum, and the student members play an important role in managing the curriculum and its development.
