Dhaka, Bangladesh
Studying MBBS abroad has become a popular alternative for medical aspirants who fail to secure seats in government medical colleges in their home country. Countries like Uzbekistan, Nepal, China, Georgia, Kazakhstan, the Philippines, and even Eastern Europe aggressively market “low-cost MBBS” programs that look extremely attractive at first glance.
But what most students and parents discover later—often too late—is that tuition fees are only a small part of the real cost.
This detailed reality check exposes the hidden costs of MBBS abroad beyond tuition fees, compares them with MBBS in Bangladesh, and explains why
Why Students Choose MBBS Abroad InitiallyMost international MBBS advertisements highlight:
“Low tuition fees”
“No donation”
“Easy admission”
“English medium”
“Global exposure”
While these claims are partially true, they rarely tell the full story.
Students often focus on the headline tuition cost, ignoring the long-term financial, academic, and licensing consequences that can affect their entire medical career.
Living costs abroad are unpredictable and inflation-driven:
Hostel rent increases every year
Food costs rise sharply
Heating bills in cold countries are very high
Local transportation costs add up
Currency exchange fluctuations increase expenses
In many MBBS-abroad destinations, students spend USD 250–500 per month, excluding emergencies.
At Medical College for Women, Bangladesh:
Stable and affordable living costs
Culturally familiar food and environment
No currency risk for SAARC students
Safe hostel facilities with fixed fees
👉 No surprise financial shocks
Most countries require:
Initial student visa fees
Annual visa renewal costs
Medical checkups for visa extension
Police clearance certificates
Immigration agent charges
Any visa delay can:
Stop exam participation
Cause semester loss
Force students to return home temporarily
Simple visa process for international students
Minimal renewal complications
Strong institutional support through Fortune Education
No annual immigration panic
Even if the MBBS program is “English medium”:
Local patients speak native languages
Clinical exposure becomes limited
Students struggle during hospital rotations
Communication affects practical skills
This leads to:
Weak clinical confidence
Poor patient-handling experience
Lower success in licensing exams
At MCW Bangladesh:
English-medium education
Strong patient exposure
Easy communication in clinical settings
Practical, hands-on training from early years
In many foreign universities:
Hospitals have fewer patients
International students observe more than practice
Limited emergency exposure
Restricted doctor-patient interaction
Students often return saying:
“We studied theory but lacked real patient exposure.”
Bangladesh is globally known for:
High patient flow
Diverse clinical cases
Intensive ward rotations
Strong internship training
Medical College for Women (MCW) provides:
Teaching hospital-based training
Daily patient interaction
Real-world medical exposure
A major shock for MBBS-abroad students:
Low FMGE / NEXT pass rates
Poor exam-oriented preparation
Curriculum mismatch
Weak pharmacology & clinical application
Failing licensing exams means:
Extra coaching costs
Career delay of 1–3 years
Mental stress and uncertainty
Bangladesh MBBS curriculum:
Closely aligned with Indian/NMC standards
Proven FMGE/NEXT success
Strong anatomy, medicine, and surgery foundation
Students from MCW Bangladesh perform significantly better in licensing exams.
Some countries:
Don’t allow foreign students to do internship locally
Offer internships not accepted by NMC
Force students to repeat internship at home
This means:
Extra year
Extra expenses
Delayed career start
Internship recognized
Smooth registration pathway
Accepted by medical councils
No repetition needed
Healthcare abroad is expensive:
Emergency treatment costs thousands
Insurance often limited
Mental health support minimal
Parents are far away
Affordable medical care
Supportive environment
Quick family access
Institutional student care systems
If a student wants to:
Change university
Transfer country
Leave due to dissatisfaction
Most foreign universities:
Do not refund fees
Block transcripts
Create documentation hurdles
