#2. Study MBBS In Serbia

MBBS in Serbia is a good option for Indian students.

Serbia is a rapidly developing country in south-eastern Europe that is emerging as a remarkable MBBS abroad destination for Indian students. Serbia has applied for membership in the EU. In all probability, the nation will be a member of the EU by 2025.

In recent years, the Serbian government has put a lot of focus on developing its educational infrastructure. Since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has made it impossible for international students to study MBBS in Ukraine, several European countries have become more important.

MBBS in Serbia for international students

As mentioned, Serbia has applied for consideration to be made a member of the EU. The country has been stepping up its academic infrastructure because foreign students contribute majorly to the Serbian economy.

Coming to MBBS, in Serbia , like the rest of Europe, it is called an MD. So, an MD from a Serbian Medical University featuring in the list given in the table in the next section (WDOMS list) are eligible to appear in the NEXT to practice in India.

You have to be cautious as to which university you choose because most of these universities do not have English as the medium of instruction. Many times, to earn fat commissions, foreign education agents promote the non-English Universities as English ones.
