How much does it cost to study medicine in the UK?

If you wish to study at a medical school in the UK, you must be fully aware of all the costs involved and budget accordingly. Alongside costs associated with the course, including tuition fees, textbooks and equipment, you must also factor in living expenses such as accommodation, food and travel.

For international students, the cost of a medicine degree can be as high as £67,000 per year (University of Cambridge). However, many UK universities provide lower-cost medicine degrees, such as the University of Lincoln, which costs £28,700 per year to study at Lincoln Medical School.
