Academic programmes
- Medical Degree Programme 5+0 in collaboration with the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.[7] The School offers the same National University of Ireland degrees of MB BCh BAO and licentiateships LRCRSI and LRCPI as RCSI Dublin, but the licensed programme is completed wholly within Malaysia. Optional summer research and clinical electives can be arranged in Dublin and across Europe, for which scholarship funding is available. The two and a half year preclinical programme is provided at Perdana University's greenfield campus at MAEPS, Serdang, and includes early GP and Klinik Kesihatan patient contact from Semester 1 onwards. Clinical studies occupy the latter two and half years of the programme and are based at Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Hospital Putrajaya and Hospital Tuanku Ja'afar, Seremban as well as at Klang Valley GPs and at Klinik Kesihatan Cheras, Klinik Kesihatan Setapak and Klinik Kesihatan Kuala Lumpur.
- The programme is dually accredited by the Irish Medical Council (IMC)[8] and the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) & Malaysian Medical Council (MMC).[9] It is also recognised by the Medical Council of India (MCI).[10] Applications are accepted from Malaysia, India, USA, Canada, Myanmar and Indonesia. Graduates who are not citizens of Malaysia are ineligible to enter pre-registration House Officer employment and must seek employment from their country of origin. Students are supported to prepare for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB UK) and Pre-Registration Examination System (PRES Ireland) assessments.
