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

Here are Top 05 Medical Colleges in China, offering MBBS in English to international students.

Every year a large number of students take up Medical admission in China. More than 250 Universities in China, under the Central Government and Provincial Government are offering admissions to International students for Under-graduate and Post-graduate medical programs in respective Universities. The number of students from Pakistan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Indonesia, UK, USA, ASEAN & CIS Countries are particularly more when compared to applicants from other countries for Medical education.

However, when Student searched for Universities offering MBBS Program in China, they come 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” is more than 200. There begins the confusion for all the applicants !

MOE Listed VS MOE Non-Listed :

What is the difference between both these types of institutions, how about their recognition, facilities, etc. There are a lot of changes between the Course patterns, duration of course, teaching and other aspects of English medium MBBS and Bi-Lingual Clinical Medicine course.

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

China has many medical universities among them some are English medium. Chinese Ministry of Education (MOE) has recommended that teaching MBBS courses under a bilingual curriculum in English and Chinese is ‘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, number of seat allocated for foreign students in respective universities are also mentioned in the list below.
