Newcastle University Of Medicine Malaysia Opens For Enrolment

JOHOR BAHARU, May 5 (Bernama) -- The Newcastle University of Medicine (NUMed) Malaysia has opened enrolment for the first intake to study at its campus at Educity in Iskandar Malaysia.

Numed Malaysia Sdn Bhd Chief Executive Officer Professor Reginald Jordan said the university would offer 40 places for the initial intake of Malaysians and international students.

"The students will undertake the first two years of the bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery (MBBS) programme at the Medical School in United Kingdom in September and will return to Malaysia in 2011 to complete year three to five clinical education," he said.

He said this at a press conference at Iskandar Investment Berhad at Danga Bay, here Tuesday.

Jordan, who is also the university's Dean of International Medical Education, would be here until July to interview the candidates.

NUMed invested a total of RM350 million to build a campus on a 5.26-hectare land in Educity, located one kilometer east of the Gelang Patah Interchange and eight kilometers from the second bridge to neighbouring Singapore.

Those interested to enroll and study at the medical school in Iskandar Malaysia can visit the NUMed website at http://numed.ncl.ac.uk to file their application.
