Research opportunities are great at Wuhan, China

‘Research opportunities are great at Wuhan’

Iam from Alappuzha, Kerala, and currently studying medicine at Wuhan University, China, preparing to enter the fourth year. After completing the five-year course from China, we have to get an eligibility certificate from the Medical Council of India (MCI). We have to appear for an exam conducted by MCI and after clearing this exam, we will get the license to practise in any hospital in India.
I chose China for my MBBS because studying there is more profitable compared to India. Before leaving for China, I was wondering if the life, culture and expectations would be different for Indians. It was going to be a daunting task adjusting there, especially when it came to food, culture, weather and, of course, studying a tough course like medicine.
Language: Communicating with the local people was another challenge. I picked up the local language in the first few weeks. It always helps to know the language as it can break barriers and help you interact with more people.
Expenses: The course is cheaper than India at R2.5 lakh per year for tuition , accommodation fee and insurance, . The cost of living is not too high.
Placement: Placement prospects are bright but I want to return
to India. Attitude towards Indians: The Chinese are very fond of Indians. They like our dresses, dance forms and ornaments.
Food: We have an Indian canteen inside the campus. The Chinese food, too, is good.
Academic experience: The teaching medium is English. Besides Chinese professors who teach us in English, we have foreign teachers as well. The main campus of Wuhan University is famous for
cherry blossoms and it is full of tall trees, huge lawns, old and historical buildings. It offers educational and research facilities with enough scope for students to interact and exchange ideas. There are several extracurricular activities organised here, including a students’ association cultural fest.
Facilities: Bright students can get scholarships from the Chinese government. A very good opportunity for cultural exchange exists as students from different countries like Somalia, Tanzania, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Australia, Brazil, France,
Spain, study together.
