Funding and Discounts

Get a 2% discount off your annual tuition fees by paying them up front and in full. For example:

• annual course tuition fee: RM110,000
• 2% tuition fee discount: RM2,200
• tuition fee you pay: RM107,800

Eligibility criteria

You'll be eligible if you pay your annual tuition fees in full before the 31 October instalment deadline.

You should always deduct the 2% discount before you make payment.

The discount applies to the proportion of fees you are personally responsible for. If you are part sponsored, you will receive the discount on the fees that you pay. Your sponsor will not receive the discount. For example:

• annual course tuition fee: RM97,850
• part sponsor pays half the fee: RM48,925
• tuition fee discount applied to your proportion of the fees: RM978.50
• annual tuition fee you pay: RM47,946.50

You will not be eligible for the 2% discount if your tuition fees are being paid for in full by:

• a tuition fee loan
• a sponsor (See definition of sponsored students in Sponsored Students page)

How to apply

The discount will be applied automatically when you pay your annual tuition fee in full.

Terms and conditions

1. This discount is only available to students studying at the NUMed Malaysia campus.
2. Students may only apply for a discount if they are registered as a full-time student at the University or after they have been offered a place to study on their chosen degree programme.
3. Husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, fathers and mothers of alumni or current students at the university who register at NUMed Malaysia for a degree programme.
4. Where two family members are intending to start their study at NUMed Malaysia only one student will be eligible to apply for the family discounts (FD) award, namely the relative who registers last. If both relatives are due to commence their degree programme in the same academic year, they must decide who will apply for the FD award.
5. Candidates must become registered students at NUMed Malaysia for a degree programme. Awards cannot be made retrospectively to students for previous academic years.
6. Successful applicants cannot be in receipt of any other scholarship schemes.
7. Students must include information on the FD application form if they have applied for or been awarded any fully funded scholarship/sponsorship and must inform the NUMed Finance Section at the university immediately if they are awarded any fully funded scholarship/sponsorship after the FD application form has been submitted. A fully funded scholarship or full sponsorship covers fees and offers a maintenance allowance. If a student is found to be in breach of this regulation, the University will suspend any further payment of the FD to that student and may seek to recover previous payments made.
8. Each discount award will be tenable for the normal duration of the programme, subject to annual review. Students must apply for the FD on a yearly basis. Renewal will be conditional upon satisfactory academic progress by the discount holder. The discount is no longer valid if a student does not pay fees or when either the discount holder or the relative does not complete their studies within the normal academic year.
9. The value of the discount will normally be credited to the student’s tuition fee account. If a student is being partly sponsored for fees, a letter/email from the sponsor must be provided to give approval for the discount to be paid to the student and not deducted from the invoice sent to the sponsor for tuition fees.
10. The university reserves the right to vary all or any scholarship and discount awards at its sole discretion.
11. Email us for further questions on FD.
