Medicine & Surgery: FAQs
Can I practise medicine anywhere after studying abroad?
No. Medicine is highly regulated — to practise you must meet the licensing and registration requirements of the country where you intend to work, which often includes exams. Confirm the licensing pathway before choosing where to study.
Will my medical degree be recognised back home?
Recognition varies. Before enrolling, verify that the university and programme are recognised by the relevant medical council in the country where you plan to practise.
