The COVID-19 pandemic has shone the spotlight on the nobility and necessity of healthcare professionals. Consequently, there is an inclining interest in careers in the medical field currently. One of the more popular pathways that students tend to pursue is the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree programme.

Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (NUMed), an international branch campus of Newcastle University, UK, offers world-class UK medical education on Malaysian soil. Students in Malaysia and around the region who are interested in pursuing medicine can first complete the Foundation in Biological and Biomedical Sciences, a pre-undergraduate programme. 

Upon successful completion of their foundation studies, students can opt to pursue the university’s globally renowned MBBS programme, subject to fulfilling the necessary requirements. The programme is a five-year integrated undergraduate medical study that is identical to what is offered at Newcastle University, UK. As such, graduates will be awarded the same degree as their UK counterparts. 

The MBBS programme at NUMed undertakes a multidisciplinary approach that allows students to master a broad comprehension of the science of the human body as well as the ability to investigate human physiological functions. On top of that, during their final year, students have the opportunity to collaborate with the university’s academics and research teams to acquire direct insights and first-hand experience working in both clinical and hospital settings. Furthermore, as NUMed’s research team works closely with the team in Newcastle University, UK, as well as other universities and healthcare institutions throughout the world, students are able to glean insights from diverse international researchers.
