Quick answer for your shortlist
What is CTUMP, and what should Indian applicants check?
Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy is a medical university in Can Tho, Vietnam. Its Faculty of Medicine describes undergraduate Medical Doctor education, while its undergraduate chart lists General Medicine as a six-year programme.[1][2]
For Indian applicants, the decision depends on the exact admission route: teaching and examination language, patient-facing training, internship, full costs and the local licensing pathway. The English website and published international fee notice do not independently establish an English-medium Indian intake.
Two universities, two identities: CTUMP is not Nam Can Tho University. Scholars Abroad’s NCTU visit and MoU photographs relate to NCTU; they are not evidence of a CTUMP partnership. Compare the Nam Can Tho University guide.

Classroom, hospital and licence
English teaching and Vietnamese clinical language are different checks
The Embassy of India’s 5 June 2026 advisory says foreign students need Vietnamese proficiency for practical training involving local patients. It also describes 12 months of hospital practice after the degree for Vietnam licensing, plus a government examination planned from 2027, likely in Vietnamese.[4]
Classroom language
A current CTUMP English-medium route for Indian applicants was not verified here. Ask for a signed intake-specific curriculum.
Patient communication
Request a Vietnamese learning plan, assessed proficiency target and the language used in placements and examinations.
Licence pathway
Obtain competent-authority clarification of the hospital practice and licensing route available to foreign graduates.
India eligibility: do not describe CTUMP as “NMC-approved” or treat a WDOMS directory entry as approval. NMC’s foreign undergraduate registration framework refers to the applicable FMGL, screening and admission-eligibility rules. Your individual course and training facts matter.[5]

Is CTUMP medicine taught in English for Indian students?
