MBBS in
Mauritius

Mauritius is one of the most unusual and appealing MBBS destinations, a small, prosperous, English- and French-speaking island nation in the Indian Ocean with a healthcare system that serves as a model for sub-Saharan Africa. The University of Mauritius's medical programme and the offshore medical university campuses operating on the island offer English-medium MBBS degrees in a genuinely tropical, diverse, and welcoming environment.
Mauritius has a specific demographic advantage for Indian students: approximately 68% of the Mauritian population is of Indian origin (Hindu, Muslim, and Tamil communities), making it one of the most culturally familiar international destinations for Indian students outside South Asia. Indian food, Hindu festivals, Bollywood music, and Indian community structures are deeply embedded in everyday Mauritian life. The cultural adjustment that defines every other MBBS abroad destination simply does not apply to Mauritius in the same way.
The primary MBBS pathway in Mauritius is through offshore medical universities that operate campuses on the island, most notably the American University of Mauritius (AUM) and similar institutions that offer programmes affiliated with or recognised by international accrediting bodies. AMW evaluates each institution for NMC status and WHO listing before recommending. The clinical training environment in Mauritius is relatively small by population standards but well-organised and managed in line with European-influenced healthcare norms, given Mauritius's former British and French colonial healthcare framework.
At a total 6-year cost of ₹55–75 Lakhs, Mauritius sits above Eastern Europe's budget options but below Cyprus or Ireland. The key selling proposition for Mauritius is the combination of English medium, a near-Indian cultural environment, a tropical quality of life, and reasonable cost
