Bright Malaysian students who are not economically sound and cannot afford to pay the sky-rocketing fees of medical courses have a reason to cheer.

Renowned Indonesian Universities like Sumatra Utara in Medan, University Padjadjaran in Bandung, University Gadjah Mada in Jogkakarta and University Andalas of Padang offer degree courses in medicine, dentistry and pharmacy that are not only recognized all over the world but also go easy on the pockets of their students.

With reasonable fees of RM100,000 to RM170,000 for medical programmes, RM92,000 to RM117,000 for dentistry programmes and RM70,000 for pharmacy, theses universities are indeed doing a noble job by helping students from economically weaker sections to achieve their dreams.

It is learnt that more than 3,000 students from Malaysia are pursuing their degrees in different courses from Indonesian universities. In return, Indonesia also produces nearly 600 Malaysian doctors, dentists and pharmacists every year.

The best part about these educational institutes is that apart from being affordable, they have maintained their standards of educational services.

The students have to take an entrance examination if they want to get a place for themselves in such universities. This acts as a parameter that only bright and dedicated layer gets this golden opportunity.
