Image
With the demand for medical school admission in South Africa far outweighing the number of students who can be accepted, there is an increasing number ofSouth African students heading overseas to study MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery)mainly in China because of the limited number of spaces available at the eight medical schools in the country. Currently, there are8 medical schools in South Africaas compared to approximately 180 medical schools in China.

This dues to the reason because the MOE has not still accessed the English program for these universities, thus leaving these universities to choose whether they’d like to offer their MBBS course in English or Chinese. This decision is solely based on the university itself, although it’s not compulsory, they still choose to offer their MBBS program in English for the ease and benefit of the international students. Despite choosing to offer their courses in English, the MOE has stated a basic requirement for the international students studying in non-listed universities to pass the HSK test with a minimum band of 4.
