Do all Medicine students pay only £4500 per year?

And is this the same for all Dentistry students as well? Do Medicine students of both types of course (5 year and 6 year) pay only £4500 per year? I'm just curious to know as I have a friend who told me this.

No, they don't.

No one pays £4500. The fees are £9000 a year.

I heard from somewhere due to funding from NHS their fees get cut down by half or is that only for certain individuals.

Graduates on a graduate entry course get contribution to their fees, from the NHS, from year two onwards. Undergraduates get their fees paid by the NHS from 5th year onwards.

But only £3000 of the £9000 total, you still have to stump up the other £6000 (or take out loans)

Indeed. We still get student loads for the remainder, unlike the poor grads on the 5 year courses.

I wish! Nope, £9000 for medics, unlike the nurses or paramedics who get their courses free.

The NHS does pay for your 5th year, and £9000 is still a small fraction of what it costs to train a doctor a year.

Smug Scottish ****s. At moments like these I like to reflect on the American system and the private medical schools that have commenced here. Ah that's better :wink:
