BHSc Health Science / Medicine- ver 1

BHSc Health Science started 3 years ago and since then we have 46 local and international students. This programme is a 3 year ordinary degree in UBD and once you have the degree, will have the opportunity to continue another +/-3 years of MBBS overseas. We have almost 7 partner medical school in Canada, U.K and Australia. This programme have become more well known locally and abroad.

"I came to know of the Institute of Medicine from my Uncle residing in London. He was aware of my ambitions of becoming a Doctor, and having met with some representatives from the IM (in London) he was more than convinced that UBD's six-year, double degree program would befit my medical aspirations. The education is top notch and interactive (Problem Based Learning), the environment is suitable for learning, the faculty is so supportive, and the students are all very well rounded. I love it here." - Mohamed M. Sheikh, New York.
If you have 3 A'level with 3 grade B's and you have a credit for your English O'level, you can apply. After we call you, you will undergo a vigorous 'Mini Multiple Interview'. It is basically a multiple interviews in a circuit. It is so tough that this is where almost half the students didn't get through. But, here are some tips from one of the first year student.

BEFORE Interview.

1. Preparation – prepare, prepare and prepare!

“Know thy enemy and know thyself,

Thy need not fear the result of a hundred battles.

Know thyself but not thy enemy,

For every victory gained, thy will also suffer a defeat.

Know neither thy enemy nor thyself,

Thy will succumb in every battle.”

[Sun Tzu Art of War]

2. Good Nutrition and Adequate Rest – eat and sleep!

“A good mind lies in a healthy body.”

[Heard Somewhere]

DURING Interview.

1. Dress Smart – mirror, mirror and mirror!

“The impression you give reflects a portion of who you really are.”

[Sky Lim]

2. Behaviour - polite, awareness and smile!

“Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter which fork you use.”

[Emily Post]

“A smile is a curve that sets everything straight. “

[Phyllis Dyler]

3. Calm and steady – breathe, breathe and breathe!

“Steadiness of the mind leads to the steadiness of your success,

No worries, no fear, only your very best,

By then, you will leave with no regrets.”

[Sky Lim]

4. Be yourself – focus, focus and focus!

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

The mind is everything. What we think we become.”

[Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism]
