hi.. i have a question.. does anybody know are the cost of the imperial iBSC for the 2008-2009 academic year?

[agneishd]

is it not on the website?

[psmith]

from what i see on the website, the iBsc is considered the fourth year of the course and therefore costs 35,500 for int'l students! most other medical schs charge less than the pre-clinical fees for the iBsc year.. isn't it strange that imerpial charges the equivalent of clinical year fees for the same year!! just wondering if i'm getting the wrong end of the stick.

its not so strange. they generally charge more for internationals than other unis.

Simple - Imperial.

considering the 5% increase each year, the clinical years fees will touch 40k in another 2 years' time. It can be ''Imperial'' but they should be reasonable. Money doesnt grow on trees for International students

as I said with some others on the interview day, these overseas students must be absolutely loaded - make friends with them....

a lot of them arent, most of the hardship fund and bursaries go to international students because a lot of them cant afford it, either that or they have sponsorship from companies or the government.

[newdoc]

No bursaries or scholarships offered to international students. I have read the website very well. Either u pay the entire amount or dont join. That is it.
