      <Abstract>Interprofessional education (IPE) is a collaborative learning that prepares students to work towards providing safer, patient-oriented care. This cross-sectional study using convenient sampling was conducted in August 2018 to determine University of Cyberjaya (UOC), Malaysia health science students’ readiness towards IPE. A validated Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) questionnaire was used as the main tool. The overall response rate was 90.1%. This study found high students’ readiness for IPE (75.49 ---PlusMinusSymbol--- 7.35), and positive attitude towards IPE (27.56 ---PlusMinusSymbol--- 7.35). This study also found a strong, positive correlation between students’ readiness and their attitudes towards IPE (r2 = 0.823). In conclusion, UOC health science students are ready for IPE and have positive attitude towards IPE implementation. Further studies using multicenter approach and involving larger number of students studying various health sciences programs are needed to give a clearer idea of the students’ overall readiness and attitude towards IPE</Abstract>
