The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Wed, 01/19/2011

The Medical School of Padjadjaran University in Bandung says it will reduce the number of new foreign students from 100 to 90 in the coming academic year.

The policy is meant to provide more opportunities to Indonesian students hoping to become medical doctors, school dean Tri Hanggono Achmad said Wednesday as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

This year the Medical School will accept a total of 300 new students, including foreigners, most of whom come from Malaysia. Some others come from Timor Leste.

Every year, between 400 and 500 students take the enrollment test, which comprises an academic test, an English language test, a psychometric test and an interview.

For the course, foreign students are charged higher tuition fees, at US$3,000 per semester.
