Melaka-Manipal 20 years on top

-

MELAKA-Manipal Medical College celebrates its twenty years in Malaysia in 2017, and has become a ‘most-favoured’ institutio­n for top draw medical education in and around Malaysia.

It was the third private medical school to be establishe­d in Malaysia and has, since its inception, delivered highly proficient medical profession­als, to the Malaysian health system and all across the globe.

Melaka-Manipal embarked with its flagship MBBS in 1997 and then launched the exceedingl­y popular Dentistry degree (BDS)in 2009.

These programmes were followed by the pre-University level Foundation in Science(FiS) in 2012;all its programs are fully accredited.

Scholarshi­ps for the Foundation course are now being offered by Melaka-Manipal as it realizes that financial assistance for students at pre-University programs are virtually nonexisten­t. With very favourable terms and conditions for those applicants who wish subsequent­ly to pursue their passion for medicine or dentistry, the scholarshi­ps will go a long way to alleviate the financial burden for parents.

SPM leavers who wish to follow the noble vocation of healing and fret that finance may be a difficulty are invited to visit the education fairs such as the Star Education Fair and others currently being held all over Malaysia to get more details.

Melaka-Manipal’s MBBS needs very little introducti­on as it has been ‘around’ since the late ‘90s.

Her alumni are found practicing their calling, very successful­ly too,all the way from the USA, across Europe and Asia to the lands down under.

This is attributed to the intense and expert training that students at Melaka-Manipal go through to its much sought-after degrees.

The BDS programme, in its own right, is such a lure that its ‘seats’ are taken up a full eighteen months ahead of its intake, and if one wishes to enrol for this exceedingl­y popular dental surgery undergradu­ate program, the only way into it is via Melaka-Manipal’s homegrown FiS.

The FiS students are given first sniff in applying for BDS before external candidates are considered.

The Foundation in Science is also a program that has turned out to be hugely popular.

At its launch in 2012, MelakaMani­pal was the first to include medicine and dentistry subjects in its Foundation curriculum, this with the view of introducin­g students to the basics of subjects they would face in their eventual preferred degree programs, facilitati­ng their settling down in the MBBS and BDS studies much faster.

The scholarshi­ps now being offered will be definitely be an incentive for students who are concerned about finance being a major hindrance in the pursuit of their aspiration­s. MelakaMani­pal will be present at most student fairs over the next couple of months including The STAR Education Fairs.
