Our medical students come from diverse academic backgrounds from top universities all over the world, with degrees ranging from accountancy to life sciences. The diverse skills and wide range of knowledge they bring, enables our students to bring creative problem solving to medical challenges, and helps them to develop as future leaders in clinical care and medical research.
While students with strong science backgrounds typically excel in medical school, students who are academically strong from other fields, including engineering, computer science, business or humanities can also be highly successful.
