UM, UKM, USM

IMU

Care to experience something new -UTAR, Masterskill and Segi.

Unknown but may surprise on the upside. Not for the fainthearted.

IMU or Monash if got cash.
Can try UTAR or SEGI or UCSI if you wanna TRY.
UM if you're good enough.

Be their 'lab mouse'?
If their fees are cheap, facilities adequate and the academic staff are highly competent, why not?

But currently only 2 schools -UKM & UM, are recognized outside Malaysia.

that is not accurate.........

pmc degree is recognised in ireland....(but not in uk/spore)

monash msia is recognised in oz......(but not in uk/spore)

imu local is recognised in sri langka........

and um/ukm is recognised only by spore, outside msia........

If you start this year or next and five years down the road when you qualify, the "better ones" will probably secure more recognition overseas and the likely ones looks like Monash and maybe UCSI.

ucsi?..........whatever gave you that idea.....!

From those classified under the second tier, I think UCSI would have a better chance, no?

UCSI's first batch just convo today.

wonder how will they fare in the real world.

better chance in what?..........

if you mean recognition by the developed OECD world, ucsi's chances is the same as for all the other homegrown private med schools......

zero.........

What are the factors that makes you think so?

Zero? Pardon my ignorant, but whatever gave you that idea?

Honestly, i just can't understand why some lowyat forumners always think that UCSI is superior than other private medical schools.

What are the factors that makes you NOT understand why some lowyat forumners always think that UCSI is superior than other private medical schools?
Or it is also your gut feelings only?

because not all forummers are well to do enough like you to go to group of eight unis/ivy league/top unis in UK?

if u r speaking in the context of really good malaysian medical schools, i can only think of imu and monash, or maybe manipal.

ucsi would be right behind them and certainly much more ahead than other medical schools which had just started only these few years.

and between those 5 choices, the most affordable would certainly be ucsi.

their first batch had just come out to work, compared to others who had already have graduates, time would tell whether they are reli good or bad.

totally agree, especially when their first batch just had their convo last week. It just doesnt make sense.

wgy is in nus..........

and this is nothing to do with the cost of the course........but the quality of the uni........

put it another way.........assuming money is not an issue........can you get in?..........

ie what is the selection criteria of that med school.........

what i meant was that many other private medical schools in malaysia started off about the same time as UCSI, and some even earlier, examples would be Penang Medical College, AIMST, Royal College of medicine perak, Allianze College of Medical sciences, CUCMS and Management and Science University, but why do you think UCSI is better?

And i'm not well to do, in fact i wanted to study in IMU twinning programme, but my parents just couldn't afford it.

Pardon my ignorance but isn't NUS a better school than IMU XD ?

I wanted to go there before i got admitted into NUS.

she says imu-pms..........which is theoretically a better option than nus, as it allows one to stay back and work, in some places......

Added on July 25, 2010, 4:52 pmif you understand how the OECD countries (in the msian context, that will normally refer to uk/oz/nz/canada and perhaps we can add spore now) manage their health care, and how they handle their selection and training of doctors (and health care personnel in general), you will not ask this question.....

try apply to enter medicine in these places, and you may get an idea.....

Bro, I ask cos I want to know. If no ask then how to learn. Money no grow on trees and can't afford to enrolled in the 'wrong' place mah.

to give you my most honest answer, because those places are mostly populated by malay students(AIMST & PMC aside), hence chinese & indian students prefer not to go those places. doesn't mean its not good(allianz college aside, that one totally cannot, dun even have a proper building IINM).

places in AIMST are 100% fully reserved for their own foundation programmes students, so its hard for other people who did stpm/a levels to go in.

fo PMC, u have to go ireland 2 years before coming back to malaysia for the clinical years. hence question of cost arises.

therefore, back to ucsi.

i do agree with the points you brought up, but you were only judging from the students' intake, what about the the faculty and facilities/campus/hospitals?

oh wait, i thought you are zltan, one of the seniors here. nvrm then.

for which uni?

that's why i said lets see how ucsi students fared for their first year of work, then we judge. not fair to say they sucks at the present moment.

initially i thought you were a senior here called zltan, and hoped to get more relevant info from you, but i was wrong haha. alright, i shall stop the discussion.

wgy are u graduating soon?

ehh, why leh? why should i disclose my age to you?

not disclosing about age also!! coz it seems ur nearing the end for med school!

i don't see zltan in these forums any more......

@darknite: like i said, at least google the process of applying for med school in uk/oz..........then you know what they want.........and why they will never recognise upstart med schools in msia........
