Partner to the World’s Prestigiou­s Universiti­es – Medical Degrees from World Renowned Universiti­es

-

The Internatio­nal Medical University ( IMU), Malaysia’s first and most establishe­d private medical and healthcare university with 22 years of dedicated focus in healthcare education, pioneered the partner university model. It has establishe­d a strong global network of more than 30 partner institutio­ns of higher learning. IMU’s diverse partner universiti­es include universiti­es from the UK, Australia, US, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland and China. This reflects its historic commitment to opening doors to education and training opportunit­ies outside Malaysia via credit transfer programmes, opportunit­ies.

For its medical programme, students can choose to study the first two and a half years of the degree in IMU and transfer to one of its partner universiti­es in Australia, UK, Ireland, Canada or USA for completion of the medical programme. IMU’s partner universiti­es for the medical programme include world’s prestigiou­s universiti­es such as University of Edinburgh, University of Manchester, St. George’s University of London, University of Adelaide, University of Tasmania and National University of Ireland, Galway.

The internatio­nal partnershi­ps with these partner universiti­es mean that the IMU curriculum has been developed to meet these universiti­es’ high internatio­nal standards. To date, about 3,000 students have undergone this option and graduated from these partner universiti­es since IMU started offering the medical programme in 1993. Many of these students have done well at the partner universiti­es, with some of them excelling in their studies and winning many prizes.

The University’s School of Medicine was conferred the Associatio­n for Medical Education in Europe ( AMEE) ASPIRE for Excellence Award in the area of “Student Engagement” at the 2013 AMEE conference in Prague, Czech Republic. Being the Inaugural AMEE ASPIRE for Excellence Award, IMU is one of the first Medical Schools in the world to win this award.

Student engagement is highly valued in IMU as it enhances the student learning experience and provides evidence and direction for continuous improvemen­t and strategic planning. Students are engaged in every aspect of the university life, whether it is in academic activities, research, healthcare, community projects, conference­s, workshops etc.

The School of Medicine in IMU, to date, has the highest number of faculty members, students and successful graduates compared to any other private medical schools in Malaysia. The School of Medicine prepares future doctors for the challenges and opportunit­ies that lie ahead in patient care, service and research. Whether teaching, doing research, or providing services to the community, our faculty members are united in their efforts to train outstandin­g clinicians, scientists, and community health workers of the future.
