MBBS In Leicester Medical School, University of Leicester

Leicester Medical School is the medical school of the University of Leicester and delivers the five-year Medicine MBChB program. The school combines university-based biomedical education with clinical training through NHS hospitals, general practices and community healthcare settings in Leicester and the surrounding region.

The Medicine MBChB program carries UCAS code A100 and is designed to develop knowledge, clinical skills, communication, professionalism and evidence-based decision-making. Students progress from scientific foundations into patient-facing clinical education.

Leicester's curriculum is integrated and places medical science alongside clinical practice. Students learn about human structure and function, disease processes, clinical diagnosis, treatment, public health, professionalism and communication.

Clinical education becomes progressively more intensive as students move through the program. Students encounter patients in hospitals and community settings and develop practical skills under supervision.

For international students, Leicester is particularly notable because its published 2026 tuition fees are lower in the first two years than those charged by many UK medical schools. The 2026/27 international fee for Years 1 and 2 is £30,150 per year. Clinical years are considerably more expensive because they include NHS clinical training. Leicester currently gives an indicative clinical fee of £48,900 based on 2026/27 rates, while warning that the actual fee for students beginning clinical training in 2028/29 and later will be confirmed closer to the time.

The university also provides students with an iPad during the first year as part of the course fee, although students need to budget for items such as a stethoscope and clinical clothing.

Leicester Medical School suits students who want a five-year UK MBChB with integrated clinical education and a comparatively lower initial international tuition fee.
