What it is

Over six years taught in English, you move from the basic medical sciences, typically anatomy, physiology and biochemistry, to clinical medicine and practical training. The programme takes an international view, with attention to health promotion, preventive care, family health and global health, and an orientation that widens options for specialty training and research abroad. Graduates work as physicians in public and private clinics, hospitals and specialised medical centres, hospices, universities and research centres, and national and international health and humanitarian organisations, or go on to further education.

What you need

  • National admission test in English: 60 questions on general knowledge, logic, biology, chemistry, physics and maths.
