Best Universities for Medicine

In our catalogue, 170 universities teach something in medical and health sciences — 1,309 programmes across 26 sub-areas. The family covers medicine itself alongside public health, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, biomedical science, epidemiology, nutrition and physiotherapy, so a listed university may teach some of these and not others. Entry to a medical degree is regulated nationally, not set by the university alone, and the rules differ between countries.

Coverage varies: not every university runs a medical degree, and several appear for public health, nursing or pharmacy instead. The ranking is institution-wide: EduRank scores research across all of a university's fields, so the order says nothing about a medical faculty's standing. 78 of the 170 carry an EduRank rank, and the highest-ranked appear below in world-rank order. Note that the right to practise is granted by national authorities, not by a degree, and must be checked with the regulator where you intend to work.
