I just hope that people can view things with a wider range of perspectives, PU students are not the only ones who are entitled to JPA scholarship. Students who are accepted into local public unis are entitled to apply for it too, plus they are able to obtain it fairly easy.
what a comparison!!....

Hi Limeuu,

Just a little curious since you are a senior here, how come Perdana University's Program is not listed in John Hopkins official medical school entry page?

Because some people told me, the program was in direct collaboration with John Hopkins in Baltimore, I'm really curious why Perdana Uni is not listed as an affiliate or whatever on the official website nor Wikipedia page.

Does this mean that the program is endorsed with the borrowed name of John Hopkins or they really do have the same or similar syllabus with the John Hopkins overseas?
If I recalled correctly, the tuition fees is around 1,000,000 ringgit?

John Hopkins only charges 72,000 usd per year for international students, notwithstanding any form of grants or offset of tuition fees.

If they can afford the fees in PU, why not just go to John Hopkins and do the MD program?

Even after conversion, the tuition fees would be close or slightly more what?

Just curious since many people are saying PU students are good and their fees are definitely astonishing.

this is NOT a jh programme, hence you will not get any information within the jh organisation.....

it is not clear exactly how jh is involved with perdana....but it looks to me like they are selling the syllabus to perdana, and then provide some lecturers.....purely a business arrangement.....the perdana md is NOT a jh degree....

it is not like the nus-duke or ntu-imperial collaboration, which are real joint degrees......fully recognised by both....

why don't people go direct entry?....because the majority if not ALL of perdana students will NOT be able to get entry direct......

as to why people have doubts.....forget the hype......look at the details on how they conduct themselves, choose students, market, charge, and the kind of students selected.....

in caveat, they do have one advantage over other ipts med schools.....the fact that all student will get a jpa scholarship does allows them to choose better students, than others. who have to choose based on ability to pay, not academic merit.....

but it is an untenable arrangement, which will unravel with time.....

word has it, even the JPA students have to drop out of AUCMS and pursue whatever course elsewhere.

this is so sad.

This was actually predicted....read www.pagalavan

To many, this is not sad, but a padam muka outcome...and hope the same happens to some of the other dubious upstart mes schools, which should not have existed in the first place....

i am waiting and hoping a few more will go the same way....or at least amalgamate with bigger unis....we need to shrink down to maybe 20 med schools....(generally one per 1.5-2 mil population)

if that property still rest with aucms, then it is a substantial asset, and unlikely they will declare bankruptcy....

but i suspect it is not owned by aucms....in typical msian fashion...

this is a private enterprise, and tax payers' money should never be used to bail out private business...

a mistake had been made, the people responsible should take accountability....in some countries, the ceo will be audited and possibly subjected to persecution, the minister of education resigns....

in msia, nobody takes responsibility and instead ask for taxpayers to bail out....
