MBBS Tuition fees in China
China is one of the world’s most advanced civilizations, with over 4000 years of history, a rich culture, and a great educational tradition. This tradition continues today, especially in the medical field. China is now one of the fastest-growing countries in the world for international medical students.
As many countries have high admission criteria for medical universities based on qualifications, some students cannot be admitted based on qualifications. Some of these students are unable to pay tuition fees at private universities (self-funded). For these students, China has become a popular destination for international students. Our aim is to introduce you to the MBBS in China Fee Structure.
The MBBS tuition fee structure in China
MBBS fees in China are cheaper than in other Asian countries, especially for students from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. A full MBBS degree costs £14 in most Chinese universities, the same as a one-year medical degree in other countries. The Ministry of Education is directly responsible for each university’s MBBS.
The low cost of studying medicine in China and the ancient and unique traditional Chinese medical system mean that students from all over the world come to China to study a wide range of medical specialties.
