hey, here is a list of blogs by medical students, from a diversity of medskols, from Russia/India to UK/Aus, and of course our beloved country, Msia

Fudan lecturer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fudan_Univers...udan_professors  (impressive)

Zhejian full total is actually RM252,500 but still lower than IPTS here

QS Ranking:
http://www.topuniversities.com/worlduniver...nkings/results/

Fudan ranked  113th while Zhenjiang  is 229 th

Universiti Malaya is 230th UKM is 250th. So its still better than Malaysia! 

Do you ever heard of this consultant? The website is well build. But the only thing I afraid is the condition of the hostel and it's toilet.. Also is anyone experience there before?

9. therefore, it is likely the syllabus and training received in this english medium course will be different from the original native mandarin based ones.......this is important.......what exactly is smc recognising?.........the original degree, or this english medium one.......or both?

Add living expenses to tuition fees in cardiff (as accordance to website plus random expenditures to account for and increase in exchange rate), the calculated amount is about RM 630,000-> same as twinning programme in PMC (in which clinical is in msia some more). O.o. It's a bit baffling this whole fees thing. And UK fees is surprisingly cheaper than Aussie contrary to popular belief.

Btw, I heard that Melaka-Manipal is about to close down. O.o Is it true?

Heard from seniors who applied as well as friends applying for medic plus I went for the aussie edu fair and checked out the fees and surprisingly it's actually more expensive than the uk fees. UTAS has the cheapest fees despite its high rep I guess though I didn't really check out some of the other unis. A lot of the prestigious unis in aussie seem to be offering medic as postgrad now, for some reason. O.o.
My JPA friends who are Malacca-Manipal bound said the JPA ppl told them that. And JPA's having a headache thinking of where to send the scholars. They'd prob get IMU or Bangalore. It's the same case for the Indonesia bound scholars apparently. They said that they'll most likely be heading to India as well. So I guess a lot of the local medic unis will be flooded with these JPA scholars within these few years. Those who are malacca-manipal bound are already a large group- about 120 students I think.

Yeah! I've been seeing quite a lot of PMC adverts lately. I almost applied to PMC but decided not to in the end. =/

Added on March 27, 2009, 3:20 pmFor those of you who are thinking of pursuing medical degrees in Russia, pls don't. Check out this Blog. I guess there's some truth in what Limeuu said after all.

Yes.This is true.MARRIAGE.Imagine.A pair of med-students with no income marrying.Guess who's paying for the Kenduri,n Euro-trip honeymoon costs? After some sex the wife gets pregnant,gives birth in CSMU.The child is left at the nursery while parents attend lectures etc.Guess who's paying for the nursery n baby stuffs?

these jpa/mara scholars have been given allowances for their spouses and children on scholarship......someone i know sent on a postgraduate scholarship in glasgow brought along her husband and 4 kids, all paid for by the scholarship......for 4 years..........

Yeah, i know, but nothing will be transparent as long as BN is in power.

Btw, anyone considering opening V2. I'm thinking to make a lots of link in the first or second post related to medicine as I think they should be some summary before they post opinion here.

Yup, IMU's PMS programme is by far the best private medical programme in Malaysia. However, it costs a bomb and the students don't actually save much when compared to their counterparts doing full course at the respective universities which they are twinned to.
