Studying medicine and dentistry is the dream of many students. If you wish to study in English language, there are considerable fees related to your studies. We will take a look at studies at universities in European Union to find out which universities are the cheapest. It is also important to tell, that universities have different deadlines, entry requirements, and procedures.
Please note, that studies in the local language (e.g. in the Slovak language in Slovakia) are free of charge for most of the European countries. On the other hand, competition for studies in the local language is really big (which is also the reason, why many students move for studies in the English language across Europe).
The tuition fees below are from the academic year 2025/2026. For the most recent tuition fee amounts, make sure to check the website of the respective university. Conversion of tuition fees to euro was done on January 8th 2025.

13. Tuition fees in Italy
Italian medical universities are the cheapest, but also really competitive. While universities in central Europe offer usually 150-250 seats every year for general medicine and 30-50 for dental medicine, Italian universities have usually only 40-80 places with a strict division between EU and non-Eu students. That is also the reason, why many Italians study medicine in schools of central Europe (e.g. Masaryk University, University of Pavel Jozef Safarik etc). Private universities are one of the most expensive in Europe.
For public universities, there are the minimum and maximum tuition fees stated according to the social status of the student. Admission is based on the IMAT exam, which can be completed in tens of countries worldwide (so you dont need to travel anywhere).

Conclusion
There are plenty of medical schools in Europe, where studies in English are possible. The most affordable are studies in Italy, which are also the most selective. Another problem is that there are only a few places available and there are students from all over the world applying.
There are the following countries where tuition fees is moderate: Slovakia, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and Croatia. It is imporant to consider also living costs varying on selected country and city.
The most expensive are private branches of public medical Universities located in Germany, Cyprus or Malta.
