MBBS in Albania Fees 2026 – For Indian Students 

First, understand this.

MBBS in Albania is actually an MD degree (equivalent to MBBS in India).

The duration is:

👉 6 years
(5 years academics + 1 year clinical internship)

Now let’s talk about money.

 

Tuition Fees – What You’ll Pay to the University

Most Indian students apply to English-medium programs in Albania. For international students, the tuition is different from local students.

Annual Tuition Fees (2026 Estimate)

• Public Universities: ₹3.5 – ₹5 Lakhs per year

• Private Universities: ₹5 – ₹7 Lakhs per year

So for the full 6-year course:

• Public University Total: ₹21 – ₹30 Lakhs

• Private University Total: ₹30 – ₹40 Lakhs

That’s your Albania MBBS tuition fees only. Living expenses are separate.

 

Cost of Studying MBBS in Albania – Living Expenses

Now let’s talk about real life in Albania.

Most medical students stay in Tirana (the capital city). Compared to Western Europe, it’s affordable. But remember — this is still Europe.

Monthly Living Cost (Approximate)

• Accommodation: ₹12,000 – ₹25,000

• Food: ₹15,000 – ₹25,000

• Transport: ₹2,000 approx

• Utilities & personal expenses: ₹8,000 – ₹12,000

👉 Total per month: ₹37,000 – ₹55,000

Annual Living Expense

₹4.5 – ₹6.5 Lakhs per year

For 6 years:

👉 ₹27 – ₹39 Lakhs

This is the real cost of studying MBBS in Albania beyond tuition.

That’s the honest financial picture.

 

 

What About Admission for Indian Students?

Now you’re probably wondering about eligibility.

Here’s what you need:

✔ Minimum 50% in Physics, Chemistry, Biology (PCB)
✔ NEET qualification (mandatory if you want to practice in India later)

Most Albanian universities do not conduct separate entrance exams for international students.

There are usually no donation fees in public institutions. But always confirm officially before paying anything.

 

 

Recognition – Very Important

Before you get excited about fees, you must check:

• Is the university listed in WDOMS?

• Will you be eligible for NEXT/FMGE in India?

• Can you appear for USMLE or PLAB later?

Fees don’t matter if licensing becomes a problem later.

 

 

Let Me Be Honest With You

Albania is not the cheapest country for MBBS.

It is not ultra-expensive either.

It sits in the mid-range category among European countries.

If your total budget is below ₹40 Lakhs, Albania may not fit.

If your budget is around ₹55–70 Lakhs and you want a European environment, then it becomes a serious option.

 

 

⚠ Things You Should Not Ignore

• Currency fluctuations (Euro rate can increase)

• Visa and travel costs

• Health insurance

• Emergency buffer (keep at least ₹2–3 Lakhs extra)

Don’t calculate everything to the last rupee. Medical education is a 6-year commitment.
