China attracts foreign students, especially from India and other Asian countries, due to its affordable courses compared to institutions in the US, the UK, and Australia.

At present over 28,000 students Pakistani are studying different courses in Chinese universities. In all, nearly 5 lakh foreign students are presently studying in Chinese universities. Of the 23,000 Indian students, over 21,000 have enrolled to study MBBS, which is an all-time high. Considering the growing interest among Indian students in Chinese medical courses, the Indian Embassy here on Monday said the Chinese Ministry of Education (MOE) has approved 45 medical colleges in the country to teach MBBS courses in English to foreign students.

The Chinese MOE has also clarified that universities that are not on the list of the 45 universities should not admit foreign students for the MBBS program to be taught in English, a press release issued by the Indian Embassy said.

Accordingly, the more than 200 universities which cannot teach MBBS courses to foreign students were removed from the website of the Indian Embassy to prevent any confusion, the press release said.

Besides the 45 colleges, Pakistani &  Indian, and other foreign students were enrolled for years in the 200-odd colleges. They will continue to study in English/Chinese languages. Now the new rule applies to new recruits in the 45 selected colleges to study MBBS in the English language.

Though Chinese universities rushed to enroll foreign medical students, especially in India, they have struggled to hire quality professors to teach in English.

Many of China’s medical schools have a high prestige among international students for the

rich experience in MBBS teaching, abundant educational resources, and reliable affiliated hospitals. Chinese Medical schools are all authorized by the Medical Council of China and are on the list of the “Directory of World Medical Schools” by the World Health Organization (WHO). The medical degree bestowed by Chinese medical schools is valid throughout the world and eligible for the USMLE in the US, the PLAB in the UK, the MCI Screening test in India, the PMDC in Pakistan, etc.
