The Degrees in Medicine granted by the University after examination are- Bachelor of Medicine (M.B.), Bachelor of Surgery (Ch.B.), Doctor of Medicine (M.D.), and Master of Surgery (Ch.M.).

The Faculty of Medicine embraces twelve Chairs, from which instruction is given in all the main branches of Medical Science -viz., Botany, Zoology, Physics, Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology, Materia Medica, Pathology, Forensic Medicine, Surgery, Medicine and Midwifery. The Chair of Medicine in its original form represents the most ancient foundation for instruction in Medicine in Great Britain.
