Admission requirements and documents
The listed routes require Biology, Chemistry and English entrance assessments. British-only passport holders should read the current non-EU process and qualification-recognition requirements.
Tuition fees and total costs
Compare faculty-specific tuition schedules and distinguish current-year charges from a promised full-degree price. Some official pages contain old dates; a current written offer should resolve uncertainty.
Use the programme-specific fee year and written offer. The budget planner adds editable living costs, travel, setup costs and contingency; those assumptions are not university quotations.
What to confirm with the university
- Which non-EU admissions and recognition documents apply to my qualifications?
- Is the published duration inclusive of internship and state examinations?
- Which fees and test dates apply to my actual entry cohort?
