NUMed provost and chief executive officer Prof Reg Jordan said to stay true to their commitment, the university would be introducing its Bio-Medical Science honours degree course in its 2013 academic year starting September.

He said the three-year course would add to its existing Bachelor of Medicine/ Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree programme.

“It will be compulsory for students to complete their research-heavy third year at our Newcastle campus but at a Malaysian fee of RM33,000 per year, which is relatively cheaper than the UK,” he said at a media briefing at its local campus at EduCity@Iskandar, Nusajaya here, recently.
