i would like to take medicine as my future courses but i still don't know how? can someone tell me how to apply 4 overseas and 4 da scholarship?thanx

If you see in the newspapers, there are a lot of adverts for unis like those in kursk and russia and stuff i think

are those were approved ?

i heard that russia is not an ideal place 2 study medic..from what i heard,the distance between the campus and lecture hall is like 1 hour by train so...u need to wake up early every morning !!!

right, i heard dat too. so i guess australia , nz or maybe uk is da best place.

how bout IMU? i think it's quite good.if i study medic,probably i'm going there,twinning with one of the medical college in US

wat's dat? sori i'm lack of knowledge bout dat uni/other colleges..

international medical college in bukit jalil..their reputation is not bad if u want to do twinning with universities from australian,canada and UK

how to apply? oh, do u know other useful websites dat related to medicine courses..btw wat courses u take aftr spm?

If you really want something, then you should be willing to do what it takes to get it, even if it means a one hour train ride to school. If you are not willing to sacrifice, then you have no one else to blame but yourself if you fail to get what you want.

It is shocking to see people expressing their interest in medicine and at the same time know absolutely nothing about anything.

It isn't a problem limited to just medicine, you're getting it even with those contemplating professional certificates and the like. Or even worse, people enrolled in courses they have no idea about.

well wat i know is only take da matrix and after dat if u got good result u can apply 4 da jpa/mara and went to uni in local or oversea. another way is after da spm result is out, there will be a lot of advertisment int the nwspaper offered scholarship and overseas studies.u need to go 4 interview to get it. wat i'm asking now is bout is there another way like taking a-level in private college first and apply 4 scholarship later on 4 further studies. which is dat i don't really familiar with cos i'm da type of person who need scholarship 2 study, without it no money no study lah...also correct me if i'm wrong with all da info i wrote. it's just dat i only know bout matrix and apply aftr da result is out...

Well, to be really well prepared for the workload for medicine, you should take either STPM or A-levels. I'm not saying that other programmes are no good but the amount of studying involved due to the syllabus would just better prepare you.

There are several private colleges in Malaysia offering medicine such as
1) Penang Medical College ( Twinning with Royal college of Surgeons Ireland and University of Dublin)
2)International Medical University ( Twins with many countries, they're got about 20 on their list including UK, US, NZ, Aussie etc. Full course can be done locally as well)
3)Melaka-Manipal Medical College ( Twinning with Manipal India)
4)AIMST ( Full course done locally)
5)Sedaya College (Full course done locally)
6) Monash campus in Malaysia ( Full course is done locally as well if i'm not mistaken)

And yes, you can take pre-u first before applying for scholarships to do medicine.


If you're taking STPM, you can also try for Monbushu( Not sure of spelling) scholarship. It's a scholarship given by the Ministry of Education Japan.


One last word of advice: Be doubly sure that you want to do medicine, it's no walk in the park if all you desire is monetary gains or the title Dr. In any case, if you do get an opportunity to 'tag' doctors in govt. hospitals like what the govt is doing for aspiring doctors gaining entry into local universities, tagging the specialist would only provide you with what life MAY be after 30-40 years of sweat and blood. You really want to know what the life is like for a doctor then tag the houseman's. Then you'll know what the initial years are like.

thanx, now i know a bit bout dat. oh yeah, i know dat doc's life is hard coz my mother's friends was a doc. she always stories to me about life going on ..
stressful...24 hours work...and other things... but all dat only made me more interested. btw if anyone had other information, do post it here. i do appriciated.
thanx...

If you want to get into medicine at a good a good university, try going for Trinity College foundation studies. If you get a 98% average, you are guaranteed a place in Melbourne U. Only catch is, there is no scholarship.

well there's no use coz i really need scholarship 2 further my studies...

Well, then try applying for JPA but be prepared to get sent to places such as Russia and Indonesia.

JPA scholarships are only for new SPM holders.

Also, scholarships for medicine are extremely rare. The only ones who provide full medical scholarships are JPA and MARA. Other than that, almost none if not none at all.

Be realistic. Reading medicine overseas is not easy........you get my drift.
