Curriculum, Learning Methods & Assessment

The MBBS degree is a 5-year programme designed to lay a solid foundation for your challenging career in medicine. The programme follows a module structure which is divided in two phases.

Phase 1 - Basic Medical Sciences

During the first two years, you will learn basic service subjects such as human anatomy, physiology, pathology etc.

You will also learn about the interaction between society, the environment & human health as well as well being.

You will be guided to develop a scientific mindset, acquire professional attributes, and gain the basic clinical skills required to progress to the next phase of your learning by early exposure to clinical medicine.

At the end of year two you will sit for your FIRST PROFESSIONAL EXAMINATION.

Phase 2 - Clinical Phase

During the next three years which constitute the second phase of your learning, you will acquire the relevant clinical knowledge and enhance your clinical skills to become a safe, competent, effective, efficient and humane clinician.

You will gradually learn the “Art of Doctoring” from our experienced local and international clinical specialists. They will inspire you to further your career after graduation and to become a lifelong learner.

At the end of your fifth year you will sit for your FINAL PROFESSIONAL EXAMINATION.

Programme Completion

Upon graduation with the MBBS degree, Widad University College medical graduates will be provisionally registered with the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) and will begin their housemanship (presently 2 years) in government hospitals.

Once fully registered and usually after 2-3 years of experience as a Medical Officer they can then either:

start their own practice (GP);
proceed to any other higher qualification in medicine i.e. clinical specialisations;
follow an academic pathway leading to MSc and ultimately a PhD in a particular area of interest.
