Study in the US - What's it really like? What do you want to know about it?

The Student Union blog is a place where students come together to discuss the realities, challenges and opportunities of studying in the US.

A corps of current students who have come from all over the world to study in America tell stories about their experiences - everything from financial aid and visas to daily life and culture shock.

And we want you to join in to share your questions and your experiences and your culture. Our goal is to learn from each other - whether you want to study in the US, have already studied in the US, or are just interested in meeting people from around the world, you're welcome to join in the discussion!

International Medical University Scholarship Program 2011

The International Medical University funded scholarship for Malaysian students who aspire to be a health science professional.

• Two students to pursue the undergraduate medical course in Malaysia leading to the MBBS (IMU).
• One student to pursue the Bachelor of Pharmacy programme to be conducted wholly in IMU, leading to the BPharm (Hons).
• Two 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. Each scholarship will cover the full tuition fees for the course. Candidates are required to have an excellent academic record consistently. This has to be supported with certified documents.

Scholarship Application Deadline:

For BPharm & Nursing -6 May 2011
