Published tuition for the 2026/27 entry. Additional fees may apply. We confirm current figures and applicable conditions before your child applies.

Tuition is only the starting point. When we work out the cost for your family, we also consider accommodation, food, health insurance, visas, flights home and possible fee increases during the course. A cheaper university in an expensive city can end up costing more.

We explain which exams your child needs, when registration portals open, where to register and when the exams take place. We also help plan applications around university deadlines.
We don’t provide entrance-exam coaching ourselves, but we can introduce families to suitable tutors or tuition centres.
MBBS or MD?
MBBS
MBBS is the medical degree title most Indian families know.
MD · General Medicine · Medicine and Surgery
European universities may award qualifications called MD, General Medicine, Medicine and Surgery, or another national degree.
What matters is the exact qualification, its clinical training and whether it meets the requirements of the country where your child wants to practise.
We help families understand these differences before choosing a university.
Will the degree be accepted in the UAE or India?
UAE
A European medical degree doesn’t automatically qualify someone for a licence to practise. Eligibility depends on the relevant licensing authority—DHA, DoH or MOHAP—and the applicable Unified Healthcare Professional Qualification Requirements (PQR).
India
For Indian citizens and OCI students, NEET-UG eligibility and National Medical Commission (NMC) regulations are important when planning undergraduate medicine abroad. The degree, course duration, clinical training, internship and future registration requirements all need checking.
We guide families through the current requirements and what they mean for the student’s plans. Regulations can change, so these checks are made for each student before applying.
Questions parents ask
Can my child study medicine in English?
Yes, at selected European universities. The local language may still be needed during clinical training.

Talk to us. We’ll explain which universities may be realistic and where an application is unlikely to succeed.

No. Universities make the final admission decisions.
