Key Summary
Introduction
The BAU School of Medicine admits 83 international students per Academic Year. We receive about 1,500 applications a year from all over the world; therefore, admission is quite competitive with outstanding students from about 25 countries selected each year.

Program Outcome
The BAU School of Medicine raises physicians and scientists who;
- Are well-equipped in terms of the principles of scientific thought;
- Have internalized universal ethical values;
- Live by the guiding principles of ‘medicine for humankind’, ‘technology for humankind’ and ‘physicians for humankind';
- Know and apply scientific research methodology;
- Do not only possess depth in terms of scientific knowledge but also practical skills and creativity;
- View the profession of being a physician as not merely a job but as a way of life.
Program delivery
Prospective international students are evaluated based on academic merit and motivation for medical studies. Our medical school curriculum is custom-made and one of the most challenging in the world with twice as many anatomy hours as other schools, and students take classes 5 days a week between 9am-5pm. Also, the system is such that students are graded at the end of the year for their performance during the whole year instead of on a semester basis. This means it is not possible to repeat a semester. Such a system requires the absolute best students.
