RCSI & UCD Malaysia Campus is a medical university in George Town, Penang, and an international branch campus linked to the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and University College Dublin. It suits students who want to study medicine in Malaysia at a campus with that cross-border connection.
The institution is a medical university. The available information does not list specific degree programmes or subject areas beyond medicine, so check the university website for the current programme catalogue and entry details.
International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and confirm the current entry requirements, documentation, and deadlines on the website. Because programme-level rules are not shown here, check whether your chosen course has any additional academic or language requirements before applying.
The university does not publish a tuition fee range here, so confirm the current cost with its admissions office. As with any move to Malaysia, you should also budget separately for living costs such as housing, food, transport, and health cover.
The campus is in Malaysia and is an international branch campus, but the language of instruction is not stated. Before applying, confirm the language requirement, visa steps, document attestation, accommodation options, and any health or insurance requirements with the university.
Malaysia has 152 universities, so this campus sits within a large and varied higher-education system. Its main point of difference is that it is a medical university and an international branch campus, which makes it a more focused choice than many broader universities in the country.
