Where can you study medicine at university?
You can study medicine at 9 public universities in South Africa. Each one asks for a different mark to get in, and a few use their own points system instead of APS. Tap a university to open its page, or work out your APS to see which ones you can get into.
Studying at a college
Do TVET colleges train doctors? No. You can only become a doctor by studying the MBChB degree at a university medical school. There is no college or short-course route to being a doctor. Be careful of any place that promises a quick or cheap way to become a doctor.
