THE Internatio­nal Medical University (IMU), Malaysia’s first and most establishe­d private medical and healthcare university with over 28 years of dedicated focus on healthcare education, will be hosting an Open Day on Jan 12 at its campus in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.

The day will see the university opening its doors to prospectiv­e students and their parents from 10am to 4pm to showcase its range of programmes, as well as its campus and facilities.

The Open Day will be an excellent opportunit­y for visitors to obtain first-hand informatio­n on how the university’s high-quality academic programmes at the pre-university, undergradu­ate and postgradua­te levels can provide an entry to promising career opportunit­ies.
