We Don’t Settle for Less
And neither do our students. They continue to excel in their studies and professional journeys. In the first cohort to sit the UKMLA (UK Medical Licensing Assessment) (psst, by the way, NUMed is the first and only medical school in Malaysia to fully integrate this into our MBBS curriculum), our students achieved an almost 100% pass rate. Here, hard work truly matters, and success is something we celebrate, whether it is strong exam results, research achievements, or making a difference in the local community.
