The Faculty of Medicine has ~3,000 students registered at the undergraduate level, in addition to approximately 450 postgraduate students.

However, particular importance will be placed on the scientific merit of the candidates and the ranking and final decisions will be based primarily on the research skills documented by publications in international peer reviewed journals and competence of the candidate.
