MBBS in Bosnia for Indian Students

Bosnia and Herzegovina is not the first country Indian students have on their list, and that is exactly its advantage. No crowded batches with hundreds of students from one country, no inflated agent prices, but state medical faculties with their own university hospitals, small groups and tuition from 3,500 € a year. Bosnia is a candidate country for the European Union, its currency is pegged to the euro, and the cost of living is among the lowest in Europe.

Study medicine in Foča: the lowest fee in Europe

The Medical Faculty belongs to the state University of East Sarajevo and has its own university hospital a few minutes from the lecture halls. Because the town is small, you know your professors and they know you. Students from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden and many other countries study here in English.
