context_page_description: RCSI & UCD Malaysia Campus is a private medical university in George Town, the capital city of the Malaysian state of Penang. Established in 1996, it is wholly owned by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and University College Dublin.
  The institution was granted university status in 2018 and to date, it is the only branch campus of an Irish tertiary institution within Malaysia.
  RUMC offers both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The university's core offering is its five-year twinning programme in Medicine where students spend the first half of their course in Dublin - at either RCSI or UCD - before returning to RUMC to complete their clinical training.
  Notably, the current President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, is also the patron of RUMC.
