With a strong presence in Malaysia for over a decade, international branch campus Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (NUMed) draws on the legacy of Newcastle University in the UK, which was established in 1834 as a medical school, and has always been at the forefront of research and teaching, with its reputation externally confirmed to be of the highest international quality.

The establishment of NUMed in Malaysia means that students within the country and the region have the advantage of obtaining quality education right at their doorstep at an affordable price. What’s more, the programmes of study lead to the award of the same degrees as those awarded at the parent campus in the UK.

Students from the region and from abroad can benefit from this fantastic opportunity. Not only will they be able to take advantage of Malaysia’s relatively lower cost of living, but at NUMed, they will get to learn in a campus that offers internationally acclaimed curricula while also experiencing the vibrant multicultural life in the country.
