Course Overview

The Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) at the Management and Science University (MSU) is a 5-year medical programme offered at the main campus in Shah Alam and the offshore campus in Bangalore, India. This programme has 2 phases: pre-clinical phase (Years 1 & 2) where the knowledge of basic medical sciences is taught, followed by the clinical phase (Years 3, 4 & 5) of clinical sciences. Being a student-centered institution, the MBBS outcome-based and integrated system-based curriculum utilizes 21^st century teaching & learning methodologies in its delivery throughout the programme. These include interactive lectures, problem-based learning (PBL), team-based learning, project-based learning, practical and clinical skills sessions, and clinical training with patient contact in the various clinical disciplines. Early clinical exposure is introduced in the pre-clinical phase to emphasis the importance of clinical application of basic medical sciences. To enhance the students’ learning experiences in the various aspects of healthcare services, our curriculum provides the opportunity to do clinical electives overseas; basic research and collaborative learning with other Allied-Health Sciences students in the PEC - Interprofessional Education (IPE) modules.
