The degrees of the Australian universities you mentioned probably have better international recognition.<br /><br />NUMed students can choose to study up to 4 months in UK during the 4th year.<br /><br />It is not too competitive to get into NUMed’s Foundation Programme. In your O Level, you need to obtain 5A in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and any other subject, as well as grade B in English.Daniel Limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004964082478501027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719926491198822315.post-6384743949396959572017-10-13T09:42:55.538+08:002017-10-13T09:42:55.538+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181604870832602787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719926491198822315.post-25382684650397197472017-09-02T00:13:58.054+08:002017-09-02T00:13:58.054+08:00The five approved hospitals are Hospital Sultan Is...The five approved hospitals are Hospital Sultan Ismail, Hospital Sultanah Aminah, Hospital Enche Besar Hajjah Khalsom Kluang, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Kota Kinabalu and Kuching General Hospital.<br /><br />There are examinations at the end of every year which we must pass in order to proceed to the following year.Daniel Limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004964082478501027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719926491198822315.post-84594180423266764952017-08-28T19:40:36.392+08:002017-08-28T19:40:36.392+08:00the five hospitals for GMC recognition are which h...the five hospitals for GMC recognition are which hospital?<br /><br />when finish preclinical year,are there any professional exam for the student tovpass and proceed to clinical year?<br /><br />thank you Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719926491198822315.post-87447735867100998862017-08-24T18:43:47.173+08:002017-08-24T18:43:47.173+08:00I do not stay at Student Village so I can’t give y...I do not stay at Student Village so I can’t give you much information about it.

The problem is that it is very difficult to get into the Foundation Programme, as stated in your quote above.<br /><br />The second pathway is to complete housemanship at one of the five hospitals in Malaysia approved by the GMC. This is stated on the same page of NUMed’s website.<br /><br />We should choose the second pathway instead of the first pathway.<br /><br />I have always been staying in Horizon Residences, since 1st year until now.Daniel Limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004964082478501027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8719926491198822315.post-41645930075258027162017-08-24T16:26:42.226+08:002017-08-24T16:26:42.226+08:00For 1st and 2nd year, the academic year is from la...For 1st and 2nd year, the academic year is from late September to early June.

The Winter break lasts for 3 to 4 weeks for 1st & 2nd year and 2 weeks for 3rd, 4th & 5th year. The Easter break lasts for 2 weeks for all years.

However, since NUMed’s degree is studied entirely in Malaysia, this affects its international recognition. Currently, NUMed is officially recognised by Malaysia, UK, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Mauritius and India. Singapore officially does not recognise NUMed.
