The Bachelor of Science (BS) is an accelerated programme especially designed for those science students who have completed plus 2 in Science/ I. Sc. or equivalent degree with two years of instruction in Biology, Chemistry, English and one year of instruction in Mathematics. Upon completion of plus 2 in Science or an equivalent degree, students are eligible to enter this programme (BS), which is of three semesters having 92 units altogether. Of the three semesters of BS, Nepalese students will complete two semesters (59 units) at GEMS, Nepal and the final semester at AUF, the Philippines.


Upon successful completion of the Bachelor of Science in Biology, students will enter the Doctor of Medicine (MD) programme at AUF, which is a four- year course in medicine followed by one year internship in various hospitals of the Philippines including AUF Medical centre. Students who wish to study the Doctor of Medicine in the Philippines should firstly undergo the Bachelor of Science in Biology. Hence, this is called a binary programme. WHY TO ENROL I N THE BS/MD PROGRAMME?

BS/MD programme has provided medical students with innumerable benefits. 

  1. BS programme, which is considered a pre-med course, has been designed to prepare students for medical studies and the subjects offered in BS build a strong foundation in them.
  2. Quality and world-class education, a US modeled degree with English as the medium of instruction supported by state-of-the-art laboratory equipment and other facilities in both the partner institutions.
  3. Highly experienced, qualified and motivated faculty from home and abroad with the provision of visiting faculty from Angeles University Foundation (AUF), the Philippines.
  4. Affordable tuition fees, living costs and reasonable miscellaneous expenses.
  5. One of our first batch students topped the final BS examination and the majority of them passed with distinction marks. The first batch students who are now studying Doctor of Medicine (MD) performing remarkably well, with at least seven students appearing on ‘top ten list’ in every quiz and examination.
  6. BS programme is approved by the Ministry of Education, Nepal.
  7. An opportunity for students to learn the education system of the Philippines, and preparation to adjust themselves to the Filipino way of life while studying in Nepal.
  8. BS students are provided a comprehensive training on Medical Bio-technology and Immunology during their studies that expose them to minute details of immunological and genetic changes in human body.
  9. Provision for the USMLE (United States Medical Licensure Examination). Students who pursue MD programme have an additional advantage, as they can appear for the first step of the USMLE on the completion of the second year of MD, and they can appear for the second step of the USMLE at the beginning of the fourth year of MD. After the fourth year, since students enter into full-time internship programme, they are in a better position to prepare for the CS (Clinical Skills) and the final step of the USMLE simultaneously.
