⚠️ Important Notice for All Medical & Healthcare Programs

Student Responsibility for Professional Recognition and Licensing

Before enrolling in any medical, nursing, allied health, or healthcare-related program, students are strongly advised to verify the professional recognition, accreditation, registration, and licensing requirements applicable in the country or jurisdiction where they intend to study, practice, or seek employment.

Healthcare professions are regulated differently across countries. Completion of an academic qualification does not automatically grant eligibility for professional registration, clinical practice, or licensure. Additional requirements such as local licensing examinations, supervised clinical training, internships, language proficiency, credential evaluations, or registration with the relevant professional authority may be required.

It is the sole responsibility of each student to confirm with the appropriate government authorities, medical councils, nursing boards, healthcare regulators, accreditation agencies, or licensing bodies that the chosen qualification meets local requirements before applying for admission.

The University provides academic education in accordance with its approved curriculum; however, it does not guarantee professional registration, employment, immigration eligibility, or practice medicine or any healthcare profession in any particular country or jurisdiction.

By enrolling in any medical or healthcare-related program, students acknowledge that they have independently verified the recognition and suitability of the qualification for their intended professional or academic purposes.

The responsibility for verifying local recognition, accreditation, professional registration, and licensing requirements rests entirely with the student.
