At a glance
NUMed offers undergraduate medicine and biomedical sciences only at bachelor's/master's scope; its postgraduate offer is research-only (MPhil/PhD by research), which was not enumerated programme-by-programme, so excluded_doctorate is tallied 0 with this note. A 'BSc Honours Sport and Exercise Science' seen on NUMed's admissions pages is a Newcastle University UK progression option, not a NUMed-delivered programme and not in NUMed's MQR list (IDAkrIPTS=672), so it was not collected. Biomedical Sciences MQA code: NUMed's own admissions site and the Phase 0 worked example quote MQA/FA2632, and that code is recorded; the MQR also carries a newer Biomedical Sciences record, MQA/FA18707 (136 credits, accreditation 12/06/2026-11/06/2031), against FA2632's 90 credits — the duality is flagged in _report.md for adjudication. The MBBS supersedes a legacy record (A9561). Foundation in Science (MQA/FA4131) is below bachelor level and not collected. Fees are NUMed's published academic year 2027/2028 figures; the next MBBS intake is September 2027. Medium: no literal 'taught in English' sentence appears on NUMed's own pages despite targeted searches of ncl.ac.uk; E1 is assigned on NUMed's own statement that teaching and assessment of the MBBS delivered at NUMed is equivalent to the UK programme, the UK-conferred degree, and the IELTS 7.0 entry requirement — flagged in _report.md.
Programmes & fees
Fees are transcribed from the institution’s own published documents, in the currency and on the basis it publishes (total programme fee, per year or per semester). Where the institution publishes separate Malaysian and international rates, both are shown. A programme with no published fee is marked as such — figures are never estimated.
