Yichun University(YCU)

Yes. YCU is PMDC approved and Pakistani graduates are eligible to sit the NRE/NLE licensing examination. YCU recorded the highest PMC NLE pass ratio among Chinese universities in 2020 - the strongest outcome indicator for Pakistani graduates. Always verify the current PMC NOC status at the time of your application.

No. YCU is not on China's MOE list for English-medium MBBS programmes. The programme is English-medium (Year 1: Chinese language foundation) and requires HSK-4 by end of Year 1 and HSK-5 before graduation. The programme is recognised by WHO, ECFMG, FAIMER and PMDC.

YCU implements a two-stage requirement. HSK-4 must be passed by the end of Year 1 to progress into the Clinical Medicine curriculum. HSK-5 must be passed before graduation to receive the Clinical Medicine degree. This is a higher graduation requirement than most non-MOE universities - plan your Chinese language development from day one.

The total 6-year MBBS cost is approximately RMB 1,63,750 (Year 1: 32,750 + Years 2-6: 26,200 x 5). The 2,000 RMB deposit is deducted from Year 1 on arrival. Food, air tickets and personal expenses are excluded.

The Freshmen Scholarship is a one-time award of 20,000 RMB given to 20 incoming students selected based on their FSc marks and HSK-4 passing result. It is not annual - it is a single award for the first year only - and significantly reduces first-year costs for qualifying students. This is one of the largest one-time awards available at any non-MOE university.

Yes. The Year 6 clinical internship can be completed either at YCU's affiliated hospitals in China or in the student's home country. Pakistani students completing the internship at home should ensure the hospitals are PMDC approved.

Yes. Halal food is available in the campus mess. The university also maintains a separate girls' hostel for female international students.

Indian students are welcome to apply, but Indian applicants should note that non-MOE Chinese medical universities generally do not meet current NMC (India) criteria for FMGE/NExT eligibility under the 2021 NMC Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate regulations. Most Indian students seeking guaranteed NMC compliance choose MOE-listed Chinese universities instead. Anyone considering this university must independently verify the latest NMC requirements directly with the National Medical Commission before applying. NEET (50th percentile General / 40th percentile reserved) remains mandatory for Indian students studying MBBS abroad in any case.

Bangladeshi students may apply, but applicants should note that non-MOE Chinese programmes are not commonly included on BMDC's recognised foreign institutions list, which predominantly covers MOE-listed Chinese medical universities. Bangladeshi students should verify the current BMDC list directly before applying. Most Bangladeshi students seeking guaranteed BMDC recognition choose MOE-listed Chinese universities instead. SSC and HSC certificates with Physics, Chemistry and Biology are the core academic requirements.

Yichun is one of China's first national experimental ecological cities and holds multiple national honours: National Garden City, National Model City for Greening, China Excellent Tourist City and National Health City. Living costs are among the lowest of any university city. The campus sits at the foot of a mountain alongside a river - one of the most naturally beautiful university environments in China.

YCU's General Medicine Department has offered MBBS in English to international students since 2005, with foreign teachers among the faculty teaching international cohorts directly from inception. 10+ batches of international graduates have completed the programme, with the 2020 cohort recording the highest PMC NLE pass ratio in China.
