Tuition fees for undergraduate medicine in 2025-2026.
## Changes to our degree
Tuition fees for Overseas/International students were restructured in 2017-2018. This happened due to the introduction of a fully-integrated six-year degree as well as an increase in National Health Service (NHS) teaching costs.
The new six-year degree includes the awards of:
- Bachelor of Medical Sciences (Honours)
- MBChB
### NHS teaching costs
If you are an Overseas/International student studying at a Scottish medical school, you must make a contribution to the teaching costs of the NHS.
This is known as the ACT levy. It has applied since 2016-2017, and the levy is subject to change.
The University of Edinburgh subsidises this charge. The tuition fees published below are inclusive of the ACT levy.
## Annual tuition fee
The tuition fees published below only apply if you are entering one of these years of study in 2025-2026.
## Rest of UK (RUK) full-time student fees\*
The tuition fee for RUK full-time undergraduate students for academic year 2025/26 will be £9,535.
