And today we're going to see the seven best medical schools in Japan. So let's get to it
0:09
Finishing medical studies and becoming a doctor is one of the most honored and wanted job positions in the world
0:15
Considering the cost of this education and better conditions in some countries
0:19
many students decide to educate themselves abroad. One of the most popular destinations to get your MBBS is Japan
0:26
with its rich cultural heritage, high-tech education and welcoming home. There are many reasons students prefer Japan for acquiring diplomas, and we can only mention a few here
0:36
Reasonable prices are always the first thing someone considers, and even though Tokyo is one of the most expensive cities in the world
0:43
it is still more affordable to study and live here than, let's say, the USA
0:48
Besides that, Japanese medicine progressed so much in the last few decades
0:52
and they are now offering top-notch education and it's all available in English at most universities
0:57
There is one thing to keep in mind, though, when studying in any foreign country, and that is the language barrier
1:03
In most countries, including Japan, you have to learn the language to be able to finish medical school and do your internship
1:10
This is because communication with patients is crucial and most of them don't know English, so you have to learn Japanese to accommodate their needs
1:17
So, can international students enroll in medical schools in Japan? Yes, international students are more than welcome to enroll in medical schools in Japan
1:26
The Japanese government has been constantly working on improving the conditions and attracting international students for many years now
1:33
They have a plan to welcome over 300 students from different countries and are very supportive of multiculturalism Thus it can be even easier to get into Japanese universities as a foreign student than Japanese students They have special staff and members dedicated solely to the purpose of accommodating new and international students
1:52

claims that this is one of the best education centers in the world. Nagoya University provides English lessons to Japanese students, but they also have over
2:27
1,100 lecture courses in English for international students. Studying medicine at Nagoya can be a bit difficult compared to other study programs
2:36
but the high-quality education and internships provided are worth it. for a reason as they want to continue to produce competent doctors. At number two, we have
