We understand that MBBS courses can cost a bomb. The tuition fees at a local university can go up to RM 550,000 and over a million ringgit for overseas studies.
One of the main reasons for the high costs is the longer course duration. In return, you learn with top-notch facilities and a well-designed curriculum. These elements equip future doctors like yourself with adequate education and training.
To prepare you and your parents for the expenses, we listed 10 universities that offer medical degrees. Each section shows the costs and available financial aid, including the scholarships in Malaysia.
