The University of Northern Philippines in Vigan is slowly becoming the top choice for Indian students taking up pre-medicine courses or medicine related programs.

Up to 730 Indian students were enrolled at the beginning of the new school year in the said university. Among the 730, 405 are admitted at the College of Medicine, 110 are in the College of Arts and Sciences taking up either Psychology or Biology, while 215 are in the Community Health Management Program under the College of Health Sciences.
