Malaysia: Medical University seeking partners

An established medical university in Malaysia is seeking interested UK universities to collaborate with in the delivery of multiple partnerships for their programmes in health, medicine, pharmacy and nursing. Interested UK universities should be open to any of the following:

  • 2+2 or 2.5+3 articulation partnerships in the medicine, pharmacy and nursing
  • Articulation partnerships in chiropractic, biomedical, dietetics and other allied health programmes which the University are currently offering
  • Dual award arrangements  for postgraduate Masters programmes which the University are currently offering; including public health, molecular medicine, pharmacy practice, analytical and pharmaceutical chemistry

The University is also interested in establishing franchised agreements for their college in the subject areas of:

  • Business and management
  • Computing and IT

The University is keen to explore the mobility of UK students into Malaysia.

The University was first established as a medical college in 1992 delivering pathway programmes to Malaysian students who would subsequently transfer to their partner universities overseas to complete their MBBS. In 1999, the college was awarded University status and is now able to award its own degrees. The University currently hosts more than 4,000 students, doing a range of pre-university to postgraduate courses. The University is registered with the Ministry of Higher Education. All its courses are accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Authority (MQA) and their respective professional qualification bodies.
