Received 500 applications from abroad to study at Maldives Medical School: Ministry

Ministry of Higher Education has said that it received 500 applications from a foreign country to study at the Maldives National University (MNU) medical school.

State Minister Dr Abdulla Nazeer told Mihaaru News that numerous international applicants sought admission following the opportunity opened in January. However, he did not reveal which country the requests had come from. He said that as many Maldivian students had also applied, capacity constraints prevented the university from accommodating foreign students.
