MBBS admissions in China
China's Ministry of Education authorises a fixed list of universities to teach MBBS in English to international students.
- Duration:
- 6 years (5 + 1 internship)
- Medium:
- English (with Chinese language classes)
Admission route
For an English-taught MBBS, check the Ministry of Education's list for your admission year and the university's international prospectus. Studying at a highly ranked university does not automatically mean its medicine course is available in English. Confirm Chinese-language requirements for clinical training.
China Ministry of Education- 1
Check eligibility
Check the university's current medicine entry requirements, accepted school qualifications and eligibility for international applicants.
- 2
Confirm the programme
Verify the degree, teaching language, entrance tests, clinical language requirements and internship arrangements directly with the university.
- 3
Prepare your documents
Confirm requirements for transcripts, passport, language evidence and document certification. Check tuition and living costs before accepting an offer.
- 4
Apply & verify licensing
Apply through the official university or national admission portal. Check home-country medical registration requirements and visa rules before enrolment.
Entry rules, fees and deadlines vary by institution and session. A QS rank is not medical accreditation or permission to practise. For practice in Pakistan, confirm the current requirements directly with PMDC; a World Directory of Medical Schools listing alone is not accreditation.

25 listed institutions, grouped by public/private and ordered by verified QS World University Rankings 2026. Faculty entries use the parent university's overall rank, not a medicine-subject rank. Unverified ranks appear last. This is not a complete national register or a list of approved English-medium programmes. Closing-merit figures have not been verified for these institutions.
