The four-and-a-half year course, a partnership between the University of Buckingham and Milton Keynes Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, will cost ?35,000 a year - some ?3,000-a-year more than previously expected - placing the total cost of tuition at ?157,500.
The university says that the fees are ¡°within the range of fees being charged by other UK medical schools for overseas students¡±, adding that admission criteria would also be ¡°comparable to the UK¡¯s other medical schools¡±. However, unlike other medical schools, there will be no cap on the number of international students.
Terence Kealey, vice-chancellor of the University of Buckingham and a qualified medical doctor himself, said: ¡°We intend to provide high-quality students with a first-rate, caring, medical education.¡±
Dean of medicine, Karol Sikora, added: ¡°Five years ago we started a postgraduate degree course in internal medicine, and we now have more than 50 doctors studying on this course¡.with the launch of the MB ChB undergraduate degree, we have a complete medical training programme.¡±
The university will accept direct applications from ¡°well-qualified applicants¡± from September 1, 2013.
