American system where medicine is considered a postgraduate degree.
According to this system, students are required to complete a bachelor’s
degree prior to proceeding to the medical degree programme.

recognized universities in Sri Lanka are accepted as pre-medicine
degrees.

opportunity for Sri Lankan students to earn an internationally
recognized medical qualification in a convenient location such as the
Philippines. As a non-profit private university AUF focuses on giving
only the best to our students as regards education, facilities and
resources,” said Joseph Angeles, President of Angeles University
