erm... it's not listed in the website so why don't u call up IMU and ask them?
But I suppose it should be considered as the Australian University Foundation Programme bah...

I would like to ask current IMU student whether the medicine programme in IMU follows a six-day or five-day schooling system?

Hi all, wanna ask IMU ppl here something.

I was at a education fair just now(I kepo nth to do) and I noticed that AIMST, PIDC, Manipal and those Russian/Indonesian school which are offering Medicine needs something called the NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE(NOC) given out by the MOHE. And to get this thing, one of the requirements is that one must get 5 B4's or better in the SPM science subjects. What is this?

I'm asking cause I really screwed up my SPM but I made it through my pre-u... Does IMU seniors be it local or PMS ambil barang ni? I would want to jump off the building if I had to retake my SPM.

.... you are doing medicine my dear.... How can there be discount on your fees? even if it's 1% they might be losing a few hundred pounds or dollars...

Some of the fees are really outdated. I remember some SRC's people came and ask my batch who wants the matching handbook for m108 and claimed that the fees are the newly updated ones, but.... looks like it's not.

Bed, cupboard and study table are provided... But, as usual, it's kinda small...

No internet, subscribe it urself.

Condition of it is fine. It depends on your housemate dude... A lot of imu students is da shao ye and da xiao jie, will hardly do or even hardly KNOW how to do house work.

And, I don't live in hostel but i've been to some as my friends had stayed in those places before. But, they have all moved out because it's not worth while to pay an amount for sharing(IMU hostel) that is equivalent for a single middle room(rent it on ur own). Plus, most importantly, no air con....

Before you go for A2, you'll have a forecast result mar. Use that one......

And yes they will grant you conditional offer........

And, if only if you meet the stated requirement on your conditional offer, you will be able to continue. Normally they will need you to get ABB for your actual results.

Are you going for PMS or Local? If PMS, why bother if IMU is good enough for you? But if you're doing the local programme, aha.... In my sole opinion.... I think it'll be a good choice for you if you can afford the fees.

BBC is only for you to apply... When you apply using your forecast result, the minimum is you need BBC. After you get your conditional offer, they will require you to get a better results than BBC in your actual results, which normally is ABB..... Why? I don't know.. Maybe they just want to make you worried that you are not going to get into IMU if you fail to get better results, and so you'll study really hard to prepare yourself for med school.... hahaha...

Anyway, I don't know how imu decides which student to take in, but I've known that some of my jpa friends who applied and came into the feb intake like me using FORECAST RESULT were on conditional offers and at that time, the cut off to stay and continue is to get ABB in ther actual results. But one of my friends who already got her actual a levels result and used her ACTUAL RESULT with BBBB came in and need not bother to meet the cut off of ÄBB. So, it's much of a ''the early bird catches the worm'' and ''who got the money i'll take that one first'' seriously...

If you think you can secure all A's in your a levels, I'm pretty sure they will take u in as most of the students here are straight A's.

As for the study part... We study most of the things by ourselves and in my opinion, i don't think it's a bad thing at all. U'll get to learn in a hard way, by your own. Lecturers are only there to introduce you into certain topics, but after that it all depends on yourself.

Like what Limeuu said before which I strongly agree is that,

a medical student normally does not have problem in understanding, just some problem with memorizing.

Cheers. =)

wao... U mean the local ones are those leftovers? I'll pity my local counterparts if u meant that way.

Oh? They changed back to 6.5 again?? It was supposed to be 7, whether u're doing local or PMS.

And why do you ask this question? 7 should be easily obtained by one who intends to study medicine because,

1) Your OSCE needs you to speak good english.
2) Your EOS needs you to write understandable english.

Good luck in your IELTS. =)

It's not too early ah.........
Forgot what I've told ya?
The early bird catches the worm.

I've seen people coming for interview already.
It's definitely not too early, but it'll be better if you apply to IMU earlier.

How would you know...... Were u from imu.......?
BBB can enter la wei... Nowadays I've seen ppl with BBC in pms stream also....

And....... The days when most of the failures are jpa or mara students are long gone... Some of them are even top scorers, like in my batch... Waiting to go into dean list...... And yes, some scholars do fail...... But not to the extent that u've mentioned......

Nowadays...... Ppl who failed are mostly a bunch of arrogant craps who think they can get through without much effort....... While some of these do get through eos5...... But will they get through mbbs exit exam be it local or pms..... Only God knows....

Some of them doesn't even deserve to be in med school also..... Not even if they've got the money or the brain....... Just..... Plain nonsense.....

Selection based on..........race............ And which state you live in................ Potential chinese and indian scholars from Johor, Pahang, Melaka, Sabah, Seremban, and Perlis..... I pity you.....

Sometimes I feel angry when the scholars scored a lower grade than me....... For some they even heck care as long as they passed.......

？？？？.....
I don't hate them....
I'm just not happy with them.....

The people i'm refering to are those who's already thinking where they should open their clinic after they graduate, the ways to suck all of the patients money and for some, they talk big like no other students can be better than them....... While they are always the one appearing on the resit list........

It's not hard to find people who's BOTH academically unworthy and unethical who passed.......not much but STILL there is........ I believe u're not one of them.......... These are the nonsense i'm refering to...... Or else i'll be refering to myself too...... =)

Yes you can........ You can be admitted first and then you'll need to go for english classes to prepare yourself for the ielts and muet....... You'll have unlimited chances to try out for these english tests, but of course la u'll need tto achieve the required band before you graduate or being transfered to partner N&D schools.

No you can't. You must prove that you have already taken IELTS..... Unfortuanely, you did not meet the requirement... You'll have to tell IMU that you missed out a better band in IELTS and you'll take it again when you are already in IMU, and then they will take you in. But don't think you can get away with it if you do not score the minimum english requirement, the academic department will haunt you for your cert until you graduate.
What did you take??? Ausmat?? SAM?? MUFY???
Forecast is only useful when you want to apply earlier. The actual result is that matters....

It's still not the end of your journey.... But if you get a 73% aggregate in your actual result, YES........ IT'S THE END...........
Yes you are eligible.... IMU says you need any 3 sciences....... However, do not worry that you'll be in a lost..... IMU's first year will be a foundation year that you will learn everything about human bio....

Can.... But U must acheive Band 4 during your studies in IMU... I don't know whether you need to take both IELTS and MUET or not like the med students..... But when you apply i'm very sure you need to prove that you have at least taken one english language certification test...

Yes you need to take MUET as well even if you got band 9 in IELTS... You'll have to register yourself as a private candidate...

Do well in your actual exam and get a fairly good aggregate will be able to secure yourself a place in IMU.............. =)

If you're doing AUSMAT/SAM, make sure you do well in your actual exam. It's either you have a TER 85 (or above) or 80% aggregate for 5 subjects. Remember, some people with 73 aggregate may translate into a TER of 85 too.
You'll not know until you're ranked with other candidates.

If you're doing MUFY, 4 top subjects+ 10% of 5th subject, add it up and if it's above 80%, you might be able to stand a chance.

Not refering to top scorers here..... I love them coz they are so nice.... What I meant is for the hopeless bunch.....

Yes. They will surely call you for an interview.... Interviewing actually play quite an important role you know?.... But to most of you, no problem getting through la....

Whether you will be guaranteed to get an conditional offer, the decision will only be made after your interview, which normally you'll have no problem getting it.... lol....

But, why I encourage students to apply with actual result is because the conditional requirement will always be higher than the minimum requirement.... Let's say the minimum is BBC in A levels, right? The conditional requirement will always rise to ABB.

-->That means, if a student with actual A levels result of BBC, if passed the interview, will be CONFIRMED a seat in IMU.
-->On the other hand, if a student with forecast A levels result of BBC, if passed the interview, there MAY BE have a seat for you in IMU, provided you meet the conditional requirement in the actual A levels result(as what I've said just now... It always rises...) and thus, decreasing your chances if you failed to meet the conditional requirement and when you do, only God and cash can help you..... You may try to appeal to IMU and see if the cut-off for the batch is low or not...... and they will be able to take you in.......

FYI, are you doing local or PMS? If you're PMS-ing... Beware.... As Otago and Auckland will be pulling out in 2012 and 2013 respectively... PMS places will decrease drastically because the NZ's schools are the major importer of our students.... offering to about 10 places for each batch....

No....ya....No....

huh?? English problem??? If it's ''call u to come imu for interview'' then I'm pretty sure they will... Processing fee 350 ma.... No call no money.... If it's ''call u for an interivew through phone'' then no la of course... Unless u stay in sri lanka or what... lol....

BBC is just for an example.... =)

That's what I meant... Tell him to beware...... As IMU might fail more people in the pms stream..... It's fixed..... Quotaed.... I believe... And even though the uk places are increasing, I don't see any people who wish to go, even if they are forced to such as brig-sus(opps... Sry...) and keele(no more manchester degree as keele now has their own)and wwick/west. syd.(I pity both... It's in the bottom list of all people....) These schools are not recognized by SMC... Further elaboration will be long but predictable like the opportunities for training etc etc.... Get what I mean huh?

Some of them even said that if they are matched to these schools they would rather go to seremban....
