The Philippines is defined by its emerald rice fields, teeming megacities, graffiti-splashed jeepneys, smoldering volcanoes, bug-eyed tarsiers, fuzzy water buffalo, and smiling, happy-go-lucky people. We have noted that since 2012 that the trend to go to the Philippines for an MBBS course is gaining popularity amongst Indian students. A lot of credit goes to the ease of living for Indian students. It becomes easier for Indian students to adapt to the Philippines because of the following reasons:
- 95% of the population of Philippines speak English fluently. This makes it easy for Indian students to interact with the locals and carry out their day-to-day activities without having to learn a new language.
- The annual temperature range of 25 to 30 degrees celsius is a welcome from the extreme temperatures of India.
- The tuition fee for an MBBS program in Philippines is way lesser than that of a private institute in India, with better infrastructure and learning environment. No donations are just icing on the cake when looking at things financially.
- The Philippines is home to millions of Indians. This implies Indian food and culture presence so students feel at home despite being away. Besides, they will just be a 7-hour flight away from home.
But how do they make it interesting for the rest of the world?
- US-inspired Education System and Curriculum.
- 10% of general physicians in the US are pass-outs from The Philippines. Yes, degrees from institutes we commend are globally recognized!
- Multiple options for a career within The Philippines, North America, and the rest of the world after your degree are subject to a license to practice test clearing as per laws in that country.
- Respectable stipend paid during an internship for post-graduate courses.
- World-class when it comes to safety, security, peaceful environment, and standard of living.
- Three intakes a year. You can either join in Jan, June, or October.
