Note: Proficiency in Urdu or Arabic is not a requirement for admission eligibility. However, this subject is taught to every First Professional BUMS student, regardless of prior language background, as a compulsory part of the curriculum. Many classical Unani texts are written in Urdu, and a good proficiency in the language is desirable, students without this foundation may otherwise find it harder to fully grasp certain Unani subjects during their studies.
