instruments and also lots of patient beds. Therefore, the medical market

has its own beauty in each season. Students can enjoy their study life

special activities, which is also beneficial for them to settle into
life in China. International students can experience not only the
cultural history of China but also the spirit of a new generation in
China.

opening up to the outside world, more than 260,000 international
students are enrolled in China's universities and colleges each year,
making it one of the most popular places to study for international
students. Regarded as both a representative of an ancient and mysterious
culture and a vibrant new economy, China has something for everyone. As
students are required to learn Mandarin during their study in China,
this is an excellent advantage to pick up the most widely spoken
international language in the world.

China

medicine is a combination of Western MBBS and TCM. Medical students in
