What this university is, in practice
City St George's has the ninth-cheapest annual fee of the 35 UK medicine programs on this site, at €53,190. On the cost of the whole degree it drops to thirteenth. The reason is not a fee schedule — it is five years in London, where living costs €15,700 a year, the most expensive location in this entire catalog.
Cheap by the year, mid-table by the degree
£46,000 per academic year for international students, confirmed for 2026/27, which converts to about €53,190 at the ECB reference rate this site uses for planning — 1 EUR = GBP 0.86483, taken on 2026-06-15. Across five years that is roughly €265,950 in tuition.
That annual figure ranks ninth cheapest of the 35 UK medicine records with a published fee. The five-year total ranks thirteenth. Buckingham makes the opposite move, from thirteenth on the annual rate to tenth on the total, because it runs 4.5 years.
London is where the rest of it goes. On this site's presets London runs about €15,700 a year in housing and other living costs — more than any other location in this catalog, ahead of Kingston upon Thames at €14,100, Oxford at €13,200 and Cambridge at €12,700. Five years of that is about €78,500, taking the all-in figure to roughly €344,400.
For comparison, Hull York Medical School charges about €4,336 a year more in tuition and still comes out roughly €4,300 cheaper all-in, because Hull and York cost €10,500 a year to live in against London's €15,700. On UK medicine, the city can outweigh the fee.
Selection, and a condition most schools do not publish
The published requirement is AAA including chemistry and biology or human biology, UCAT, an English requirement, academic and UCAT screening followed by a multiple mini interview, plus occupational health, immunisation, DBS or overseas police and fitness-to-practise checks.
The unusual item is a published minimum-age and placement condition. Most UK medical schools in this catalog do not state one, and it is the kind of requirement that is invisible until it applies to you — worth checking directly if you would start the course young, or if your placement circumstances are non-standard.
The degree runs five years to an MBBS from the School of Health and Medical Sciences.
The UCAS calendar, which starts a year early
UK medicine applications go through UCAS on a national calendar. The 2026-entry deadline of 15 October 2025 at 18:00 UK time has passed. For 2027 entry, UCAS opens 12 May 2026 and the medicine deadline is 15 October 2026 at 18:00 UK time, with UCAT registration from 12 May 2026, booking from 23 June and testing between 13 July and 24 September 2026. Interviews are university-specific, usually November to March.
That deadline sits more than ten months before teaching begins, and the UCAT has to be sat before it. It is the earliest application rhythm in this catalog by a wide margin, and it is why UK medicine cannot be added late to an application year built around continental deadlines.
English is the clinical language, which removes the local-language requirement that applies across every non-English-speaking country profiled here.
Who this suits
Applicants who specifically want to train in London and have budgeted €15,700 a year to live there, who meet AAA with chemistry and biology, and who have checked the published minimum-age and placement conditions against their own circumstances.
