THE RCSI & UCD Malaysia Campus (RUMC), a stepping stone for many of today’s leading medical professionals, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

Formerly known as the Penang Medical College, it was Malaysia’s first accredited private medical institution when it was established back in 1996 and has since forged an international reputation for quality.

A synergy between two leading Irish universities – the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) and University College Dublin (UCD) – it will be graduating its 2,000th graduate in its 21st conferring ceremony this year.
