AUCMS To Be Upgraded As University College
KEPALA BATAS, Aug 26 (Bernama) -- Allianze University College of Medical Sciences
(AUCMS) will be upgraded as university college soon, said executive chairman Datuk Dr Zainuddin Md Wazir.
He said the upgrading would enable AUCMS to offer 15 new courses including medicine and medical science at degree and PhD level.
"AUCMS was invited to become a university college by the Higher Education Ministry on July 19.
"We are equipped with infrastructure to provide quality education and are ready for the challenge," he told reporters at a break of fast here Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, AUCMS president and Raja Muda of Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail urged students interested in doing medicine to study locally.
"The learning method and system overseas and locally are similar but the cost in Malaysia is much lower. Studying locally will also check outflow of foreign exchange."
Syed Faizuddin said other countries had recognised Malaysia as an education hub with the same status as those in western and middle eastern countries.
