Studying MBBS at Qingdao University gave me a solid foundation in clinical medicine with excellent hands on training at affiliated hospitals. The professors were knowledgeable and approachable, and the curriculum balanced theory with practice well. However, the language barrier during clinical rotations with local patients was challenging at times, and more Chinese medical terminology support would have helped. Overall, it was a rewarding experience that shaped me into a confident medical graduate, ready for global health challenges.
I enjoyed and I'm still enjoying my experience at the university. The staff is so professional and they are always there to help if you are need of something.
