What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000868) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 51 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.0★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Philippines yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

CEBU DOCTORS UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL THE BEST HOSPITAL IN CEBU UNLIKE OTHERS THIS HOSPITAL TELLS THE TRUTH WHILE OTHER MAKING MODUS . I encourage all Filipinos that if you are looking for a hospital that never hides the truth ( will not making any modus) go to CDU hospital Cebu City.

Elyl Guardian

not recommended. again i repeat not recommended if you're looking for a check up this hospital ain't for you coz they'll run you through all types of consultation and make you pay huge amount of money and still won't treat your pain. Waste of money hospital that's what you are.

3A_Postrero, Luisse L.

The Cebu Doctors' University has a lot to offer for a school that teaches med students to become what they want to be (medical related jobs). Lots of stations to go through that even have a road dedicated to the founder. Formed in 1973, it …

Justice Taima

I'm a student here and it's a pretty good school. The only problem is how some of the staff have such a bad attitude and act like they hate everyone. Not all staff are rude, but there are a few of them with an attitude problem.

Daniel

Majority of the staff (including the security) are rude. Lecture rooms are hot and they do not have A/C. Laboratories do not have proper ventilation. Expensive tuition fees yet they have crappy facilities.

Great place for Medical studies but remember most of the University has no AC and it's incredibly hot inside also virtually no parking for students.
