MA/MS in Medicine

The Doctor of Medicine programme trains doctors who combine medical ethics with the basic professional knowledge and skills needed to identify and manage health problems in individuals and communities. The course prepares students to take part in scientific research and to keep improving their qualifications through self-study. The curriculum is benchmarked against established domestic and international medical schools, with reference frameworks drawn from several overseas institutions. In the fifth year, students study in a foreign medical education environment, which gives them experience of a different academic setting. Learning outcomes cover professional ethics, basic and clinical medicine applied to comprehensive care, evidence-based and family medicine principles, diagnosis, and communication with patients and colleagues. Graduates are expected to analyse and critique evidence in practice and research.
