Why study medicine? 

Medicine has always been one of the most demanding yet satisfying professions there is. The benefits of studying medicine are endless, especially when you consider that doctors are some of the highest-paid professionals, along with the social prestige of being a doctor. Health care professionals such as doctors, nurses, and physicians are among the most respected people in society.

There are dozens of specializations to choose from later on if you want to study medicine, which means you definitely have the chance to do what interests you the most.

To study medicine, you need to complete a full bachelor's degree in medicine and surgery, also called MBBS. This is a five-year course after which you can specialize in an area of your choice. Many people who are interested in surgery can work in surgical departments after taking various postgraduate exams, such as the Fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Those seeking a more academically oriented career may enroll in a master's degree program in relevant fields such as physiology, medicine, general surgery, or microbiology and then pursue a doctorate. Many of these individuals are now the world's leading scientists conducting life-saving research.
