LAUNCH YOUR FUTURE ON THE RIGHT FOUNDATION

Bachelor of Dental Surgery in Collaboration withManipal Academy of Higher Education, India (KA 6864)

KP (JPS) 600-03/542 (97)

Since its inception in 1997, the Melaka Manipal Medical College (MMMC) has been consistently delivering on its promise of providing Malaysian students with access to world class medical education through its strategic partnership with the renowned Manipal University in India. MMMC was initiated out of a need to address the shortage of doctors in the country, and has successfully achieved this by integrating well-rounded doctors into the local health delivery system.

Nestled within the tranquil surroundings of Bukit Baru, the spacious MMMC campus is ideally situated close to the historic town of Melaka. Balancing excellent academic facilities with equally important recreational avenues for students and staff, the campus has advanced classrooms and laboratories sharing space with a football field, a fully equipped sports hall and gymnasium, swimming pools and tennis courts.

Beginning with the MBBS programme, MMMC was one of the first private colleges in Malaysia to offer a twinning programme with an internationally awarded degree, allowing students to get quality medical education at a more affordable price point. This programme is the cornerstone of the college and leverages on the academic expertise and experience of Manipal University to deliver a course that has been designed to give students the best foundation in the Basic Sciences, while continually honing their clinical skills in the excellent teaching hospitals in India, as well as in Malaysia.

At MMMC, there is a strong commitment to nation building and the college has underlined this responsibility by introducing the BDS twinning degree in Dentistry last year to overcome the shortage of dentists in the country. To accommodate the new course, MMMC is currently constructing a purpose built 10-storey dental teaching block located in the current campus at Melaka with the latest dental facilities, including policlinics, lecture theatres, surgical facilities, clinical skills unit, seminar rooms, and dental laboratories.

MMMC is committed to providing a curriculum which offers diverse learning opportunities. Students develop a broad range of knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to practice medicine. A well-planned, highly effective curriculum taught by dedicated faculty members, places emphasis on the correlation between basic science and clinical science training. At MMMC, the commitment to excellence is one that is inspired by life and tempered by ethical service to the nation and humanity.


DENTISTRY PROGRAMMEThe dental programme is conducted on a twinning basis with Manipal University and the degree awarded by Manipal University. Manipal University has two dental colleges i.e. the Manipal College of Dental Sciences (MCODS) Manipal and Manipal College of Dental Sciences Mangalore. MCODS Manipal is rated as one of the premier dental colleges in India and is recognized by the Malaysian Dental Council.
