Thanks for the informative video, I'm still in grade 11 and I've been considering to study medicine as a backup career for aviation. I've heard that there are types of doctors and I would really appreciate it if you could please do a video explaining what they do.
I'll keep this in mind for the future however there is a great channel called "Med School Insiders" that explains all the different fields of medicine well👍
Thank you so much for your video it really helped me to go on with my studies on becoming a doctor. My friends use to say i will be very old of i want to become a doctor because it takes a long time but for your video was very helpful 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much this was very informative.I've wanted to become a doctor but recently others have made me start to doubt because the process is so long and stressful but your vid really helped me think.And i think i really want to become a doctor and i know im going to have to work harder than i ever have before but im going to try so thank you so much 😊
I have a south african nationality but I got my education from Pakistan and I gained 71% marks in grade 12th and 86% marks in matric...Am I eligible to get into med school?
Hi there, thank you, for the awesome, video, I wanted to find out. If I did not do core maths in high school or Physics or Bio. Can I do a bridging course? And then get into Medicine
Thank you I really appreciate your effort of making this video, it helped a lot, just 1 question: Does it count in your favour to be accepted into medicine if you have English Home language in comparison to English First Additional language, because I have Home language, which is obviously harder so I don't get as high marks in it as I would if I had FAL. I don't know if I should leave home language in gr.10 and get my grades up with first additional, or if I should take home language for a bigger chance to get in. Any advice?
I know of a few people that took FAL english and got into medicine. In terms of getting accepted I believe that there is no preference for students who took english as a home language for the universities that offer studying in Afrikaans although I would confirm this with the admissions office. It does, however, help having strong English as the majority of learning and teaching is done in English.
Hi. I'm currently in Matric and I'm really interested in the Medical field but my Grade 11 final marks dont really meet the requirements, and I'm not looking forward to taking a Gap year, Any Advice?
It's always worth applying and taking it from there. Universities like UCT or Wits place a lot more importance on your matric results and you can apply using your matric June Exam results and then your final matric results (I think, things may have changed with COVID). So if you're really set on doing medicine and don't want to take a gap year I would suggest working hard in matric to give yourself a good chance. For Stellenbosch, it will be harder to get in with grade 11 marks that don't meet the requirements but it's not impossible. There are quite a few people that got last minute admissions based on their final matric results. Otherwise if all of this fails, there is always the option of waiting a year and reapplying with your matric results or doing a BSC and trying to switch over. Hope this helps!
Im in the same boat and was shocked to find that there are other alternatives of getting in. For instance if you dont get into med school you can study biomedical science of which you may be granted the opportunity to transfer to medicine of there any drop outs in med school or end of the year if your marks are really good. How ever if you di lot manage through those two ways you can also complete biomedical science degree which takes 3 years and then start med school from 3rd year so it will take 7 years to complete degree without any articles done but you will finish with two degrees one being your biomedical medicine and obviously your mbchb. Qualifying criteria for biomedical sciences is also much lower and has more space. If I dont get into med school that's the option I'm going. Thanks for all the informative videos really helps.
Thank you so much, I'm from China and I have my bachelor degree and master degree in clinical medicine, I'm suffering in getting a doctor degree in neurosugery. I really want to be a surgeon in South Africa, so is it possible for students graduated from international universities like me to be a doctor in SA? Hope to get some feedback fome you.
I’m sure it is possible to come specialize in South Africa however I’m not sure about the process of applying for specialty training and how it differs for international graduates. Neurosurgery in itself is quite a competitive field. You would have to contact the different universities in South Africa as you do your specialty training through them. Hope this helps.
@@matteo_greyling Me too International Medical Graduate Doctor from Somalia 🇸🇴, and really want to Emergency Medicine specialist in South Africa 🇿🇦, is there anyway to start that process of training in SA.??
9 years💆🏽♀️ 11 years!!! Hey. Thank you for your video. I got more than an average of 80 in grade 11. I am interested in studying medicine. I’m quite scared. If I apply for many universities. Will I need to write the NBT test for all of them?
Yes you need to write NBTs for all medicine applications for all universities in South Africa. Last year may have been different due to COVID. You may rewrite your NBTs if you are not happy with your mark but otherwise your highest mark is used for all your applications. Good luck👍
You will need to check out each university's criteria and application process on their website. The universities to study medicine in South Africa are Stellenbosch University, University of Cape Town, Wits University and many more... Not sure how the application process may differ for international students.
Hi ,im from Botswana .I only got my O level results and i cant afford to do A-levels but the Matriculation exemption board website stated that i can also just study for a year in the university from my country of origin so thats what im planning on doing .But i wanted to know if i have a chance of being accepted into med school in SA via this approach .
I'm not too sure about how the application for international students works or how to apply using A levels/O levels as I did NSC exams. This is probably something you would need to phone the admissions office of each university to ask about but I do know of international students who currently study at my university so it is definitely possible to be accepted.
You have to complete 6 AS level subjects of which Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Biology , English and another second language are compulsory. You'll then be able to get matric with exemption. Otherwise you'll have to do 3 A-levels. O-levels are equivalent to the CAPS grade 11 marks so you can only apply with them and get provisional acceptance. To get your final acceptance into university you have to do 3 A-level subject or 6AS level subjects which is equivalent or "superior" to the CAPS Gr.12

Hii there this is a bit off topic but do you maybe know if medical secretaries wear scrubs in south africa?
Bro what's the tution fee of medicine for international students in Stellenbosch university
Sorry for the late reply but I'm not entirely sure.
Hi there, thank you, for the awesome, video, I wanted to find out. If I did not do core maths in high school or Physics or Bio. Can I do a bridging course? And then get into Medicine
What if I have a personal average of 60% for all my subjects
I’m not sure that an average of 60% will be enough to get in.

What type of doctor are you becoming?

Nope your NBT Mark's are captured once and you can use them at any application...just like your report... check the NBT website for more information.
Can I study medicine without taking physics in high school?
Physical sciences is a requirement for medicine at all the universities, I believe, so unfortunately not.
Hello sir How are your ?

Can I contact you on Instagram about this topic?
Can I study medicine without taking physics in high school?
As far as I’m aware, you have to take physics in high school to apply for medicine.
