The academic concept underpinning NUMed Malaysia is for the transnational delivery in Malaysia of a range of undergraduate biomedical and medical degree programmes, equivalent and of comparable standard to those of Newcastle University's UK-based provision but contextualised to Malaysian circumstance and taking into account the cultural differences.
The first and core undergraduate programme upon which NUMed Malaysia was founded, is Newcastle's five-year Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme. The programme offered will lead to the award of the same degrees.
In the future, following the establishment of the NUMed Malaysia campus at Nusajaya, it is planned to introduce selected BSc programmes from Newcastle University's undergraduate biomedical sciences portfolio in Malaysia in 2013.
