Recognition in Malaysia
Medicine is recognised by the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC). The university appears in the Second Schedule of the Medical Act 1971 as Universitas Udayana, with:
- “Ijazah Kedoktoran MD Dokter”, recognised since 3 February 1995
What this means in practice:
- Recognition applies to the qualification named above. Before you enrol, we check the exact degree title for your intake against the current MMC list.
- A recognised degree lets you apply for registration in Malaysia. It is not automatic permission to practise: housemanship and the other MMC registration requirements still apply.
- You must also meet the MMC minimum entry qualifications for a medical programme. Being accepted by the university does not prove that on its own.
- For Indonesian medical degrees, the MMC asks for proof that you passed Indonesia’s national competency exam for doctors (UKMPPD) when you apply for registration.
- International (English) class. An older MMC list (2013) said Indonesia’s international classes were recognised at only four universities (UI, UNPAD, UGM and USU). That note does not appear on the current MMC list, but until the MMC confirms it in writing we treat the international class here as “check before enrolling”. The regular programme is clearly recognised.
If a medical qualification is not on the list, the graduate must pass the MMC Examination for Provisional Registration (EPR) before registering.
Global Recognition
- Listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS), school ID F0000903, with an ECFMG sponsor note for graduates from 1963 onwards. WDOMS shows it meets the Intealth (ECFMG) Recognized Accreditation Policy.
- Accredited by LAM-PTKes. We confirm the current grade.
Programmes

- The regular programme is taught in Bahasa Indonesia.
- A new International Undergraduate Programme in Medicine started in 2026/27, with English-language modules and 3 weeks to 3 months of overseas learning. The first class has 56 students.

Student Life
- Bali is Hindu-majority. About 23% of Denpasar is Muslim, and areas such as Kampung Islam Kepaon have long been centres for halal food, but most eateries in Bali are not halal-certified.
- Udayana’s International Office warns students about dengue and rabies and recommends a rabies vaccination before arriving.
Getting There
Direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Denpasar on AirAsia, Batik Air Malaysia and Malaysia Airlines, about 3 hours. Bali is on the same time as Malaysia.
