The medical curriculum comprises either four or six years of studies, the former for college graduates from the United States and Canada, the latter for high school leavers who are not college graduates. All lectures, seminars and bedside practical training are conducted in English. Course work may be graded, especially if there is no final exam concluding the subject. Grade 6 is offered to a student whose performance both in course work and final exams is particularly impressive.
Students have a right to two re-sits of an exam.
The first attempt and the first re-sit are usually written for basic science classes, and a combination of written and practical for clinical classes. The second re-sit may be oral. The student taking the exam for the third time will receive the lowest possible passing grade. The diploma should contain a clause clearly stating its holder's right to apply for admission to higher education institutions. All photocopies must be certified copies of original documents.
