Mansoura University in Egypt offers a 5 year MBBS programme taught in English, followed by a 2 year clinical internship. For Indian students, tuition is 4,000 USD per semester during the academic years and 2,000 USD per semester during the internship. There are also one-time admission and ministry fees of 3,830 USD. To apply, Indian students need a NEET qualification and at least 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology in Class 12. The university is recognised by WHO and listed in WDOMS, so graduates are eligible for FMGE/NExT in India, USMLE in the USA, PLAB in the UK and licensing exams across the Gulf.
That is the short answer. The rest of this guide covers what Indian students and families usually ask us next: what each fee covers, how admission works, where students live and whether the degree holds up back home.
Why Mansoura University Is Called the Medical Capital of Egypt
Mansoura University was founded in 1972, and its Faculty of Medicine has become one of the leading medical institutions in the Middle East and Africa. Its reputation comes from its hospitals and the clinical training they make possible.
- 8 specialised university hospitals covering all major medical specialties
- The world-famous Urology and Nephrology Center, known as the Ghoneim Center
- A large daily flow of patients across every department
- Practical and surgical training that begins in Year 3
- Advanced clinical research recognised across the Middle East and Africa
For a medical student, that patient volume matters a great deal. Students learn at the bedside with real cases, not just from textbooks.
