I receive quite a few emails from students asking about studying medicine in China. I have posted a couple of these, and my responses, below in case any of you have similar questions.

Hi,
I read your blog it is a nice one, and i found that you are a med student in this school. This might be a good sort of info for me because I'm attempting to go to this medical school, but I have no clue what this school is like. So, l like to ask you about that.
1. How is the teaching quality?
2. Are there a lot of international students there?
3. How is the dorm?
4. How's about foods there?
5. Is it a good school?
Thank a lot
I'm looking forward to hearing back from you
Hello Aim,
Thanks for your email. The teaching quality is good and we get a lot of experience. Over the 6 years, each student gets 9 bodies to dissect, which is much more than most medical schools. I studied my first degree in Aerospace engineering in The University of Manchester about 10 years ago and I would say the teaching here is on a par with that. Chinese students are very hard working, which has a good effect on the international students. It means our course is tough and there is a lot to learn.
We have students who have come from universities in Russia and the Caribbean with well renowned medical programmes, have completed a couple of years there and then come to the first year here. They came because they weren't happy with the courses there. One student who was studying in Russia said he had hardly had any exams until the 3rd year! Here we have tough exams every six months.
It is important to choose a challenging medical course because it will help you with board exams once you finish and of course saving lives.
There are just over one hundred students in each year from Thailand, Mauritius, Bahrain, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, India, Korea, Singapore, UK, USA and many other countries.

They are fine, but I am a mature student so decided to move out to a bigger place near the school which works out at just over 100 GBP per month, with a swimming pool!
I like there food here. There is obviously a lot of Chinese food on campus. It really good and very healthy, lots of vegetables! There is also a Muslim canteen which does good food. The world ranking is No. 218

Chinese universities are on the up though in world rankings because China is putting so much of its GDP into them. Especially the 9 top universities on the Chinese governments list. Of these, Zhejiang is traditionally thought of as the 3rd university in China, and there are a lot of universities in China!
Let me know if you have any questions. Are you thinking of going this year? Where are you from?
Best Wishes,
Henry

Hi, I' m an Italian student. I would like to study in the uk, but it's too expensive. Studying in China seems interesting but i don't know chinese at all. What kind of certificate of language do you need? how much do you think it's needed to learn a sufficient level of chinese? Thanks!
Hello, Sorry for the delay in replying. You don't need any Chinese to get on to the course, because it is all taught in English. Chinese is taught along side the medical courses in the first four years, so that by the time you come to do your internship your Chinese is good enough to communicate with the patients. The majority of students on the course have zero Chinese when they start. If you have any questions, please email me at mavisdavies@gmail.com or you can skype me on: henrydavies, or have a look at this website www.studymedicineinchina.co.uk

another qns: i am currently finishin off my cambridge A2 level, but my results dont come out till august, and the dead line for application is around june, are predicted results accepted?if not, do you have a solution.
Hello Henry, thank you for this post. I am a final year Medical Bioscience student at the University of the Western Cape in Cape Town Southa Africa. As you know, South Africa has a lot of baggage (with respect to race), so it is therefore difficult to get into medschool here in SA, due to the previous factor. I want to study medicine (God willingly), however, I would like to know if there are any scholarships for foreign students? Living conditions etc, are not such a great fuss for me, however, I am concerned about finances. So, if it is possible for you to respond on this question of mine, I would really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteSincerely
Peter
