Choosing to study MBBS in China can be one of the best decisions ever for any medical aspirant. After all, medical colleges in China are highly experienced in providing medical education to students from across the globe.
Over the past decade, MBBS in China for Indian students has become a more considerable option than ever due to the hefty fees of private medical colleges in India. Moreover, due to their integrated curriculum, advanced teaching methodologies, highly experienced teaching faculty and latest equipment, several Chinese medical colleges rank in the list of top 100 universities in the world.
However, China has over 250 medical colleges for international students, out of which only 45 universities conduct their degree programs in complete English medium. The other Chinese universities are either fully Chinese medium or bilingual in their mode of instruction.
Authentic MBBS experts and counsellors like PGmedica advise all Indian students to only choose a fully English medium university if they wish to take admission in one of the best medical colleges in China. Wondering why? Well, read to find a detailed explanation from our end.

Out of all the three major types of Chinese medical universities, MBBS in English medium is recommended for all Indian students. This is because, with English, it is very convenient for students to master a demanding degree like MBBS without worrying about learning a new language.
Shifting to a completely new destination for studies and adjusting to the new culture, lifestyle, food, people, etc. is already difficult enough for most students. Studying in an unfamiliar language makes it worse. Moreover, according to many statistics, studying the 4 years Chinese medium curriculum is a nearly impossible feat for international students.
Some agents also fool Indian students that Bilingual colleges are fine for them. However, this is untrue as bilingual universities teach the first year of the course in English and the remaining years are taught in Chinese. The three years of learning in the Chinese language drift the focus of the student from their degree course to learning a new language.
However, for a more detailed explanation, why don’t you watch our YouTube video on what is the admission process for MBBS in China and why should you select only English medium universities if you go to study MBBS in China?
Here are some more reasons why we recommend you to study MBBS in China only in the English language:
Many Indian students are made fools of by telling that they cannot get admission in English medium universities and can only enrol themselves in Chinese or bilingual universities. Scared about losing the chance to pursue their dream degree, many of them agree but have to leave their dreams in the middle of nowhere and end up wasting their precious money.
Finding an English medium medical college in China is not going to be a problem for you at all if you meet the eligibility criteria for admission. Generally, most Chinese universities require the students to have a minimum of 60% marks in PCB if they belong to the General category and 55% if they are from the Reserved category.
And never believe if someone says you need a bilingual program to be eligible to get internship opportunities in China. First of all, China has adopted English as a second language over the past few decades and a majority of the population in public places speak the language fluently.
Moreover, when you study in an English medium university, you can easily find internship opportunities in university-affiliated hospitals and clinics. And even if you can't, you can simply come back to India, write the NEXT exam and qualify for it, and apply for your internship period in your country.
Studying in the English medium does not just imply studying MBBS in China. It refers to studying anywhere in the world for a convenient educational experience. Many aspiring Indian students are cheated by unauthentic MBBS abroad agents for MBBS in Russia by enrolling them for bilingual or completely Russian medium courses.
With the major reasons highlighted above, we hope you would have already understood why you should only study in English medium for MBBS in Russia or any other study destination for that matter. Learning a new language, especially a difficult one like Chinese, can never let you pass your dream degree with flying colours because you will be stuck in the grammatical concepts rather than focusing on medical science.
