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.
