Average source completeness across verified programs.
United KingdomAberdeen is the shorter of the two Scottish medical degrees in this catalog — five years against Edinburgh's six — and it sits in one of the cheaper UK cities at about €10,800 a year. That combination makes it roughly €107,500 cheaper all-in than Edinburgh, on an annual fee only €5,262 lower.
Scotland has two entries in this catalog and they are not the same shape. Aberdeen runs five years to an MBChB; Edinburgh runs six to the same qualification. Across the 35 UK medicine records here, twenty-four run five years and only six run six.
£50,100 per academic year for international students, confirmed for 2026/27, which is about €57,930 at the ECB planning rate this site uses. Five years is roughly €289,700 in tuition, ranking twenty-sixth of 35 on annual rate and twenty-fifth on total.
Aberdeen's living costs run about €10,800 a year on this site's presets, so five years is about €54,000 and the all-in figure is roughly €343,700. Edinburgh's equivalent is about €451,200 — a difference of roughly €107,500 for two Scottish degrees whose annual fees are €5,262 apart. The sixth year and the more expensive city do the rest.
That gap is the clearest illustration in this profile set of why a UK annual fee cannot be compared on its own.
The published requirement is AAA including chemistry and one of biology, human biology, physics or mathematics. UCAT is considered alongside academic achievement, with an interview or multiple mini interview, plus an English requirement, health screening, immunisation, criminal-record and fitness-to-practise clearance.
Four acceptable second subjects is broader than Edinburgh's three and considerably broader than Imperial, which requires A grades in biology and chemistry specifically. It is narrower than Lancaster, which does not require chemistry at all provided two sciences are held and one is biology or chemistry.
The faculty is recorded as the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition, and the route as Undergraduate Medicine — distinguishing it from the graduate-entry programs that several UK and Irish schools run alongside their standard course.
The UCAS calendar applies as it does across UK medicine. The 2026-entry deadline of 15 October 2025 at 18:00 UK time has passed. For 2027 entry, UCAS opens 12 May 2026, the medicine deadline is 15 October 2026 at 18:00 UK time, UCAT registration opens 12 May 2026 with booking from 23 June and testing 13 July to 24 September 2026, and interviews are usually November to March.
One Scotland-specific point worth checking rather than assuming: criminal-record clearance in Scotland runs through a different scheme from the DBS process used in England and Wales. Aberdeen's record specifies criminal-record clearance without naming the scheme, while Edinburgh's names PVG. Confirm with the school which applies to you and how an overseas applicant satisfies it, because the process and timeline differ from the English route.
English is the clinical language, which is the structural advantage the UK holds over every non-English-speaking country in this catalog.
Applicants who want a Scottish medical degree without Edinburgh's sixth year and higher living costs, who hold chemistry plus any one of three other sciences, and who have checked how overseas applicants satisfy Scottish criminal-record clearance.
The University of Aberdeen is listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools as school F0000347.
