China is the foremost choice for every international student to pursue medical study due to its advancement in course structure and low-cost MBBS options availability. After doing an MBBS from China, because of global accreditation, international students can make their way to other countries of the world or can go back to their home countries.

Every year a large number of students take up Medical admission in China. More than 200 Universities in China, under the Central Government and Provincial Government, are offering admissions to International students for Undergraduate and postgraduate medical programs in their respective Universities. The number of students from Pakistan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nigeria, Tanzania, Morocco, Nepal, UK, USA, ASEAN & CIS Countries is particularly more when compared to applicants from other countries for Medical education.

A total of 45 medical universities in China, known as MOE-Listed universities, provide MBBS programs entirely in the English medium. MBBS tuition and dormitory fees range between 35,000 RMB/year ($5000) and 45,000 RMB/year ($6,500) annually at universities that use English as the medium of instruction. The tuition and living expenses of the top five medical universities in China that offer MBBS in English to international students are described.

Shihezi University is the most affordable medical school in China, providing international students with a high-quality MBBS education taught in English.

200+ Universities in China offering MBBS:

However, when Students searched for Universities offering the MBBS Program in China, they came up with two separate lists.

  • List of English Medium Universities (MOE-Listed Universities)
  • List of Bilingual Medium Universities (NON-Listed Universities) 

The list of Universities offering “ENGLISH MEDIUM MBBS IN CHINA” is only 45 in number, whereas the list of Universities offering “MBBS IN CHINA IN BILINGUAL MEDIUM” exceeds 200. There begins the confusion for all the applicants!

MOE-Listed vs. MOE Non-Listed Universities :

What is the difference between these types of institutions, and what about their recognition, facilities, etc.? There are many differences in the course patterns, duration, teaching methods, and other aspects of the English-medium MBBS and bilingual clinical Medicine courses.

However, the major difference is that there is no need to study the Chinese language in the English Medium (MOE- Listed Universities). And students are not forced to pass the Chinese proficiency test (HSK) in the first 5 years of the MBBS Program.

China has many medical universities; among them, some are English medium. The Chinese Ministry of Education (MOE) has recommended that teaching MBBS courses under a bilingual curriculum in English and Chinese be ‘strictly banned.’

Only 45 universities in China are qualified to teach MBBS degrees in English and are authorized to admit foreign students, the Chinese Ministry of Education (MOE) has said, warning that teaching MBBS courses under a bilingual curriculum in English and Chinese is “strictly prohibited.”

Along with the name of the University, the number of seats allocated for foreign students in the respective universities is also mentioned in the list below.

MBBS in China Course Duration & Curriculum:

An English-medium MBBS in China for international students normally lasts five to six years.

Chinese medical universities offer the MBBS program for 6 years. You will spend 5 years of classroom training to have solid medical knowledge. The remaining 1 year is spent on a hospital internship to strengthen your clinical skills.

To add on, China has several quality hospitals that allow students to have many opportunities for practicing their internship programs.

MBBS Scholarships:

There isn’t any Scholarship for MBBS in China on an admission basis. However, some agents, who are not authorized by the University, misguide students in the name of scholarships. Beware of such seasonal agents and fake information. Whenever any Chinese university offers any kind of fee allowance or stipend, they mention it clearly on the admission letter. That’s why you should ask for a written statement on the admission letter if any agent claims to provide you scholarship opportunity.

Meanwhile, almost every university in China offers performance-based scholarships to international students by the end of their academic year. That scholarship amount starts from 5000RMB to 20,000RMB which is given to position-holding students.
