The International Medical University (IMU) Scholarships 2009

The International Medical University (IMU) has
recognized that there are many Malaysian students who aspire to be a health
sciences professional. For various reasons, some of these students are not able
to achieve their life-long ambition, including those students whose families do
not have the financial resources to support them for entry into an international
institution like the IMU.

In view of this, the IMU has established a
number of scholarships to be awarded to:

1. Two (2) students to pursue the
   undergraduate medical course in Malaysia leading to the MBBS (IMU).


2. Two (2) students to pursue the entire
   eight (8) semesters of the twinned undergraduate pharmacy course leading to
   the MPharm (Hons) degree (in collaboration with the University of
   Strathclyde).


3. One (1) student to pursue the Bachelor of
   Pharmacy programme to be conducted wholly in IMU, leading to the BPharm (Hons).


4. Two (2) students to pursue the Bachelor of
   Nursing degree leading to the BNursing (Hons).

Students who wish to apply must have excellent
academic background together with other qualities, including strong
extra-curricula activities and who, for financial reasons, would otherwise be
unable to pursue a career in medicine, pharmacy or nursing.

These prestigious scholarships are established
to reflect the IMU’s contribution to society. It also is an integral part of the
University’s staff development scheme to groom young individuals with high
potential to be part of the future IMU faculty for training of medical, pharmacy
and allied health professionals. This is in line with our nations strive towards
excellence in education and health care in the 21st century.
