The MBBS (Medicine) program at Ajou University is offered through the School of Medicine, located in Suwon. The medical school was established in 1988 with the aim of educating professional physicians who have strong medical knowledge, clinical skills, and ethical responsibility. The program focuses on developing competent doctors who can contribute to public health and the advancement of medical science both in South Korea and internationally.
The MBBS program generally follows a six-year medical education structure, combining pre-medical education, basic medical sciences, and clinical training. During the early years, students study subjects such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and medical humanities to build a strong scientific foundation. In the later years, students receive intensive clinical education and participate in hospital-based training to gain practical experience in diagnosing and treating patients.
Students benefit from practical training at Ajou University Hospital, a large teaching hospital affiliated with the university. The hospital has around 1,200 beds and treats thousands of patients daily, allowing medical students to observe a wide range of diseases and participate in clinical clerkships. This close connection between the medical school and hospital provides strong hands-on learning and real clinical exposure.
The program also emphasizes research and global medical education. Students are encouraged to participate in laboratory research, clinical studies, and international exchange programs with hospitals and medical schools abroad. Through these experiences, the School of Medicine aims to produce doctors with professionalism, leadership skills, and a commitment to lifelong learning in the global healthcare field.
NOTE: The university may have additional program-specific eligibility requirements. It is recommended to verify these on the official university website.
