Rajesh Kumar Sharma

My son is in his third year at HMU and the transformation has been incredible. The faculty are exceptionally dedicated, the hospital exposure is world-class, and the living conditions are comfortable and safe. We are extremely happy with our decision.

A

Amina Begum

Parent of MBBS Graduate

MBBS

My daughter graduated from HMU last year and cleared her licensing exam on the first attempt. The practical training at Bach Mai Hospital gave her skills that stand out even among locally trained doctors. HMU truly delivers what it promises.

D

Dr. Priya Patel (Parent)

Parent of 2nd Year Student

MBBS

As a doctor myself, I was very selective about where my daughter would study. HMU's curriculum, faculty credentials, and affiliate hospital roster impressed me. The university's transparent fee structure and zero-donation policy were the deciding factors.

M

Mohammed Al-Hassan

Parent of Final Year Student

MBBS

My son is in his final year and already has a job offer as a foundation doctor in the UK. The international recognition of HMU's degree opened doors we couldn't have imagined. The university's student support team was amazing throughout.

S

Sunita Thapa

Parent of Year-4 Student

MBBS

We were nervous about sending our daughter to study abroad, but HMU's induction programme, dedicated international student office, and friendly hostel wardens made the transition smooth. The education quality is honestly as good as back home — if not better.

I

Ibrahim Khalil

Parent of 1st Year Student

MBBS

We just sent our child for the September 2024 intake and the orientation programme was outstanding. Everything the admission consultants told us matched reality — the campus, the facilities, and the quality of teaching. We're proud parents!

Aryan Chowdhury
MBBS Graduate 2023
Bangladesh

Outstanding university. The professors are leading clinicians at Bach Mai Hospital and their bedside teaching style is unmatched. Cleared USMLE Step 1 on my first attempt — HMU prepared me well for international practice.

Fatima Noor
Year-5 Student
Sri Lanka

Five years in and I have zero regrets. The clinical postings at Bach Mai Hospital are intense but rewarding. You see real pathology, real surgeries, and real emergencies — not just textbooks. The international office is always available to help.

Kwame Asante
Final Year Student
Ghana

Best decision of my life. Vietnam is safe, affordable and the people are warm. HMU's MBBS is internationally recognised and I plan to return to Ghana and apply for the medical council registration — the paperwork was all guided by the university.

Sana Mirza
Year-3 Student
Pakistan

The hostel is safe, clean and affordable. Food is available at the cafeteria and nearby restaurants have lots of vegetarian and halal options. Wi-Fi is fast. Academic workload is challenging but very well structured.

Daniel Okafor
MBBS Graduate 2022
Nigeria

I graduated from HMU and am now working as a physician in Canada. The degree was fully recognised here. The clinical skills I developed in Vietnam are what made me stand out during my residency interviews.

Thanh Nguyen
Year-2 Student
United States

Coming from the US I was sceptical, but HMU's English-medium programme is genuinely world-class. Small class sizes and access to professors is something you don't get at most American medical schools. Very happy here.
