NUMed’s MBBS programme utilises a holistic framework that helps students to grasp a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the human body and the capacity to research human physiological functioning. A variety of teaching delivery methods are employed to enhance students’ learning. These include lectures, seminars, and simulations.
The university adopts an integrated approach, exposing students to clinical skills from as early as Year 1 while facilitating the formation of a strong foundation of core knowledge.

and researchers from the Malaysia and UK campuses. With this, they are given the privilege to gain insights and knowledge within a vast global context in the field of medical studies.
