Academic Curriculum

NMI School of Medicine offers two distinct pathways towards earning your Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree: the Four-Year Pathway and the Five-Year Pathway. Each pathway is tailored to accommodate the diverse educational backgrounds and aspirations of our students.

Four-Year Pathway:

The four-year curriculum at NMI is designed for students who have completed pre-medical studies, a bachelor’s degree, or equivalent qualifications such as A Levels. This accelerated pathway allows students to delve directly into medical education, building upon their existing knowledge and skills.

Five-Year Pathway

The five-year medical degree pathway at NMI is crafted for students who meet specific acceptance criteria. This pathway is ideal for students who are starting their journey towards a medical career and will be guided through both the basic science and clinical phases of the MD/MBBS degree program at NMI.
