Dubai Medical College for Girls opens admissions for 2004/2005 academic year

As the reputation and achievement of the college has grown, demand for places at the prestigious centre for medical science and surgery has risen dramatically with graduates going on to enjoy successful careers as doctors and surgeons.

DMCG Dean, Professor Mohammed Galal El-Din says that the College is expecting strong demand for the 50 new undergraduate places on offer every year. "Our College is now recognised as true regional centre of medical excellence giving talented young women in the UAE the opportunity to follow a successful career in medicine.

"Across the world and here in the UAE, women students are outperforming men, and a further indication of our success at DMCG is our ability to attract the best talent in our staff to pass on their expertise and experience to the young doctors and surgeons of tomorrow."

Since 1991 there have been 480 successful women graduates from the College with many enjoying highly successful careers at a number of hospitals and clinics across the UAE and overseas.

Professor Mohammed Galal El-Din advises prospective students to apply for admission as early as possible to allow for their applications to be reviewed. Selected students asked for interview before the first term of the new academic year commences at the end of August.

"We expect demand for places to outstrip supply so we recommend that suitable applicants apply as early as possible" he explained.

Minimum admission requirements are a UAE Higher Secondary School Certificate with the three main Science Subjects (Chemistry, Biology and Physics) and a minimum average of 80%. Other equivalent high school certificates are also accepted. For successful applicants there is also a further entry exam or "Acceptance Test" and interview.
