About The Programme

Postgraduate research forms a major and expanding part of the IMU’s academic development. Working for a research degree gives students the opportunity to develop an in-depth knowledge of a discipline and to become familiar with current techniques and methodologies.

The University prides itself on the facilities and support it provides to research students and on the calibre and dedication of its academic, clinical and technical staff. In addition, IMU researchers have published their findings in high imapct journals.

The University allocates more than RM1 million internal funds for research every year. Alongside this commitment, external funding has increased dramatically from funding bodies such as Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) and Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) in recent years. Our researchers have received funding for collaborative research projects in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, breast cancer, infectious diseases and environmental health.

A WORD FROM
THE PROGRAMME DIRECTOR

“Science never solves a problem without creating ten more.” – George Bernard Shaw

“Postgraduate research empowers graduate students to undertake a systematic investigation, based on the work built within the field of interest by previous researchers. The research skills developed and mastered will equip the student to become an independent researcher who is capable of advancing knowledge within the field. It requires superior organisation skills with unyielding attention to detail. Research work underpins one’s ability to hone his understanding of experimental methods, and sharpens his evidence-based logical thinking, which is the most crucial skill in assessing the outcome of the research.”

PROF SHAR MARIAM BT MOHAMED

BSc (Flinders), PhD (UPM)
Being an undergraduate alumnus in IMU, I am back to my alma mater to pursue my postgraduate studies (Master of Science in Medical and Health Sciences). Throughout my studies here, I am involved in a collaborative research project with the University of Malaya, investigating on the dynamics of an infectious disease, cholera. I have gained so much of research experiences with the guidance from my supervisors and support from the IMU Research Laboratory and School of Postgraduate Studies. The diverse background of the existing research students also makes the whole journey to be fun, especially when we have the opportunities to share our ideas and opinions in research talks, conferences and seminars. I believe that the knowledge gained from this programme will provide a smooth transition for my professional development in the future. All in all, it is a privilege being a part of the interactive research community in IMU.
Toh Yien Shin
My current research work in IMU aims to provide scientific evidence for traditional uses of medicinal plants. The deciding factors for me to leave my home country to IMU are its respectable research culture, state of art facilities and availability of expertise in my research area. With guidance from my supervisors and support from the research team, my research skills are being continuously improved.
Zhang Shiming
Postgraduate studies in IMU is of world-class. I am equipped with sufficient knowledge and skills to secure a job in a nutraceutical company in New Zealand after completion of my Master of Science in Medical and Health Sciences degree in IMU. When I wanted to pursue PhD, I chose IMU. I am honoured to receive the sponsorship from JPA for my PhD study. In addition to that, I am also honoured to receive YPASM Fellowship that enable me to work with the scientists in the British Antarctic Survey at Cambridge, United Kingdom. All of the experiences would not have been possible without the support and guidance from my supervisors. IMU has positively impact me on going forward.
Dang Nguk Ling
Pursuing my postgraduate studies with IMU is a choice I will never regret. Not only does it own a team of experts with vast experience in healthcare, it also consistently upgrades its facilities and services to ensure cutting-edge learning experience for the students to excel. As a research student, IMU’s active participation in community projects and close collaboration with scientific bodies have gotten me golden opportunities to attend talks, workshops, seminars and invited-only conferences to keep up with the rapidly changing healthcare industry, and even present my work at some! With all these, I know by the time I graduate from the programme, I am confident to tell the world that I am a well-trained researcher and am ready to serve.
