Studying MBBS in the UK is significantly more expensive than in most European countries.

- UK: Tuition fees for international students range from £30,000 - £70,000/year, with living costs around £1,100 - £1,500/month. Total annual expenses can reach ₹50 lakh or more. Programs are in English, but admission is highly competitive.
- Europe: Many countries offer lower tuition fees. For example, Germany charges about €1,000 - €3,000/year (public universities), while Romania, Bulgaria, and Poland range from €5,000 - €15,000/year. Living costs are typically lower (€6,000 - €10,000/year), but local language proficiency (like German C1) is often required.

If you want English-medium education and have the budget, the UK is a clear but costly choice. Europe is more affordable, but language requirements and program structures vary.
