International Medical University (IMU) recently provided another credit transfer option for students who have applied for its biomedical science programme, giving these students an exciting new option to continue their education in an overseas university. Through this arrangement, credit transfer students from IMU will be required to complete the first part of their studies in IMU before transferring to University of Strathclyde. These students will receive academic credit for the subjects they have successfully completed in IMU and use this towards the completion of their degree. The degree will then be awarded by University of Strathclyde.
"We are pleased to be able to provide an additional credit transfer option for students in the biomedical science programme. Providing students with this additional credit transfer option is an affordable way for IMU students to gain access to a UK education and towards obtaining an overseas degree," said A/Prof Chen Yu Sui, programme coordinator of the biomedical science programme at IMU.
The University of Strathclyde was founded in 1796 and is Scotland"s third largest, with some 14,000 students from more than 90 countries. The University is recognised as a centre of teaching excellence in Scotland and stands among the best in the world.
A/Prof Chen Yu Sui added, "Without doubt, this arrangement would offer vast benefits to them as it uniquely allows students to experience the learning environments of two leading universities in Malaysia and the UK. Another benefit for the students is the discovery and understanding of cultures from around the world as this is a critical component for a healthcare professional. This is certainly one of the reasons for us to continuously look for additional transfer options for students and part of its ongoing mission to train and promote excellence in the healthcare industry."
University of Strathclyde has been a member of IMU"s network of partner universities for more than 10 years. Prior to this, the university has collaborative and credit transfer arrangements with IMU for its pharmacy and psychology programmes. With this collaboration, University of Strathclyde will be expanding the number of IMU programmes that the university is having collaborative agreements.
In addition to the credit transfer option with the University of Strathclyde, students applying for the biomedical science programme also have the opportunity to transfer the credits that they have earned in IMU to the University of Otago in New Zealand or University of Newcastle in Australia after successful completion of the first part of their course in IMU. Students also have the option to complete the entire biomedical science degree in IMU and obtain a Bachelor of Science (Hons) Biomedical Science from IMU. |
