International Students
While the Newcastle University degrees offered at NUMed Malaysia are offered principally to cater for the Malaysian market, applications from non-Malaysian citizens are welcomed.
Applicants from non-Malaysian citizens for entry to the NUMed Malaysia MB BS programme should read carefully the information provided in the MB BS section at Career Path and Quality Assurance & Accreditation.
Please note: the programme delivered at the Malaysian campus is not available to citizens of the UK or from countries of the EC who should instead consider applying to study for the programme at Newcastle University, UK.
What to expect as an international student at NUMed Malaysia
The most recent instalment of the Annual International Student Barometer, which measures international student satisfaction at 270 Universities and Colleges worldwide, has revealed year-on-year growth in International student satisfaction at Newcastle University since the surveys began in 2005. NUMed Malaysia intends to replicate this reputation in Malaysia. International students joining NUMed Malaysia can expect a warm welcome and will be provided with:
A welcome pack
This will be despatched to international students prior to their arrival in Malaysia and will comprise information on: immigration requirements, travel, health, English language support, banking and finance, a copy of the International Student’s Handbook, and various useful guides to studying at NUMed Malaysia.
Informal support
Some international students will inevitably feel cut off from their own culture, country, family and friends. These feelings will mostly be resolved as they make friends and become familiar with life and study at NUMed Malaysia.
Sometimes, however, those feelings will persist and students may find their lives are more severely affected. NUMed Malaysia will provide free and confidential one-to-one support meetings for those international students experiencing difficulties during their time at NUMed Malaysia.
