The University Mace
The mace is the symbol of authority of the International Medical University (IMU). The globe at the top symbolises the international nature of the University. Gold denotes the quality of education provided by the IMU. The seven kris (traditional Malay weapon) represent the nations participating in the International Medical Consortium. The songket motif symbolises the country’s cultural tradition. The bunga raya (hibiscus) is Malaysia's national flower. The five facets of the mace signify the five continents of the world.

The second ring consists of the logo of the IMU to signify its new charter as a University. Below the second ring of the mace are the logos of the original five Partner Medical Schools which helped start this innovative medical programme.

The original International Medical College emblems are etched on each side of the brace in the middle ring of the mace. Below the third ring are the logos of the International Partner Universities involved through their medical schools in the International Medical Consortium.

The bottom part of the mace is carved in the shape of the Kelantanese gasing (spinning top), another symbol of Malaysian culture
   
The Logo
The initials IMU represents the name of the University. The three strips on the "I" represents the three pillars of Insight, Imagination and Innovation.

The serpent and staff are the traditional symbols for medicine, which is the educational focus of the University. The colour white denotes integrity.

The globe stands for international connections: the IMU as a member of the International Medical Consortium, both in terms of partnerships with many well-known foreign universities, as well as its international faculty and student body.

The tilted square represents the mortar-board, which is the symbol of academia in relation to the community.

The colour blue in its two shades stand for peace and harmony.
   
Together,
Learning for Health		 The Motto
"Together, Learning for Health" is the IMU motto. The search for knowledge is a lifelong process. With the explosion in information, the growth of enabling technologies such as Information and Communications Technology and the globalisation of education, learning and discovery increasingly involve the sharing of resources and knowledge amongst communities of practice.
