A specialist Bukit Jalil health-sciences university centred on Medicine, Pharmacy and Dentistry.
IMU University in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, is a specialist health-sciences institution rather than a broad general university — Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry and Health Sciences sit at the centre of everything it offers.

International tuition typically runs RM45,000–RM120,000+ a year, reflecting its clinical focus — among the higher end of Malaysia's private universities. It suits students set on a verified medical or health-sciences pathway.

Informational only — scholarship amounts, deadlines and even which schemes are running change often (sometimes per intake), so treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee. Always confirm current details directly with the scholarship provider or IMU's financial aid office.
Malaysian government scholarships are almost entirely restricted to Malaysian citizens. For international students, the main route is university-level merit scholarships or fee rebates, especially common at private and branch-campus universities.
Public university (UM, USM, UKM, UPM, UTM) scholarship access for international students is much more limited than at private/branch-campus universities — check directly before assuming availability.
