## Key facts

Fee notes: Officially published international-student rate: UGX 2,688,000/semester tuition (2 semesters/year = UGX 5,376,000/year), double the Ugandan domestic rate, plus a separate UGX 1,100,000/year functional fee (also double the domestic rate). Combined this is roughly USD 1,700-1,750/year at recent exchange rates -- notably lower than typical MBBS-abroad international pricing, which is unusual enough that it should be reconfirmed directly with MUST admissions before being treated as final, since no separate cross-verifying international-fee-schedule document was found. Total is calculated as the annual tuition figure times 5 years -- not published as a lump sum, and excludes the functional fee and other charges.

## Teaching phases

- 5-year MBChB programme with Community Based Education (COBERS) (English): Years 1-2: preclinical basic sciences (anatomy, histology, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, pharmacology).

Years 4-5: full clinical rotations (emergency medicine, surgery, family medicine, psychiatry and specialty modules), integrated throughout with the Community Based Education, Research and Services (COBERS) model giving structured community-healthcare exposure.
