Northumbria University - Distant partners move closer

An agreement has been struck to tighten the bonds between a British university and a Malaysian institution with the aim of educating Malaysian and Asia-Pacific healthcare professionals. The deal between Northumbria University and Mahsa University College in Kuala Lumpur will pave the way for new UK quality-assured courses. It will also provide opportunities for the two to work together in developing new areas in the curriculum, such as biomedical sciences and healthcare law and governance. Several of Northumbria's allied health degree programmes are currently offered in partnership with Mahsa University College.
