The author's view
When I compared universities as an applicant in 2015, I had to open twenty websites and convert six currencies to see what a year would actually cost. This index is the table I wish I had back then. My advice: do not stop at the cheapest row. A 3,000 € programme in a country whose degree is not recognised where you want to work is more expensive than a 9,000 € programme in the EU. Look at the country page for recognition first, then at the fee.
Marcel Kloos, founder of Medschool Experts
Summary
- 283 universities, 34 countries, tuition from 2,100 € to 37,800 € per academic year.
- Median tuition across the index: 4,950 € per year.
- Central Asia, Paraguay, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina offer the lowest fees; EU universities in Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic sit between 9,000 € and 24,000 €.
- Every row links to the university profile with living costs, admission and recognition.
Conclusion
Tuition is only one part of the total cost of studying medicine abroad: living costs, programme length and whether the degree is recognised where you want to practise decide the real price. The index gives you the starting point; the university and country pages give you the rest.
If you want to know at which of these universities you can start next semester, book a free consultation. We check your documents and tell you where a place is realistic.
Frequently asked questions about medical school tuition fees abroad
Which country has the cheapest medical schools in English?
In this index the lowest tuition fees for English-language medicine are in Paraguay (from 2,100 € per year), Uzbekistan (from 2,250 €) and Serbia (from 2,500 €). Within the EU, Bulgaria, Romania and Bosnia and Herzegovina offer the lowest fees for recognised degrees.
Are the fees per year or per semester?
All figures in the Medical School Tuition Index 2026 are per academic year. Many universities invoice per semester, so divide the figure by two for the semester instalment.
Do the fees include living costs?
No. Tuition fees are listed separately. Living costs for each location are shown on the university profile and range from about 400 € per month in Central Asia to 1,500 € per month in Western Europe.
Why are some universities missing?
Universities without a confirmed tuition figure for 2026 are not included in the index. They remain in the university directory with the fee marked as on request.
Why are there no universities from the United Kingdom or Ireland?
Medschool Experts does not place students at British or Irish universities, so they are not part of the index.
How do I find out which university I can get into?
Admission depends on your school-leaving certificate, your subjects and the programme. In a free consultation we check your documents and tell you at which partner universities you can start next semester.

About the author
Marcel Kloos
Founder and owner of Medschool Experts, federally recognised dentist
Marcel Kloos is the founder and owner of Medschool Experts, a placement agency for medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine and pharmacy degrees abroad. Since 2021 the team has secured more than 500 study places at 25+ partner universities in Europe and worldwide.
Study medicine abroad: Marcel's own path
Born in Stuttgart, Marcel started his degree late: at 24 he enrolled at the Medical University of Sofia, Faculty of Dental Medicine, and graduated in 2021 from the English-language programme. He went through the same steps his clients face today — nostrification of school certificates, entrance interviews, finding a flat in Sofia and later the recognition of a foreign degree. He is a federally recognised dentist.
What Marcel does at Medschool Experts
Today Marcel lives in Bern and runs Medschool Experts full-time. He visits every partner university in person, negotiates placement agreements directly with faculties and deans, and leads the free consultations in which applicants learn at which university they can start next semester. His YouTube channel on studying medicine abroad has helped thousands of applicants compare universities, costs and recognition.
Topics Marcel writes about
- Study medicine abroad independent of your high school diploma grades: universities, costs and admission
- Study dentistry, veterinary medicine or pharmacy in Europe in English
- Tuition fees and living costs at medical schools in Europe and worldwide
- Recognition of foreign medical degrees in the EU, Switzerland, the UK and the US
- Transferring between medical schools and returning home into a higher semester
