## Programmes

| Programme | Course | Duration | Medium | Tuition per year |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS)](https://www.studentstraffic.com/must-faculty-of-medicine-mbbs) | MBBS | 6 years | Chinese / English | HK$2,58,000 (2026/27) |

## Why students choose it

- Macao's Education and Youth Development Bureau lists the MUST MBBS as an approved bachelor programme.
- The stated English-medium, six-year route includes five formal study years and a compulsory 12-month supervised internship.
- The 2026/27 non-Macao-resident fee table publishes HKD 258,000 for first-year MBBS tuition, enabling a transparent first-year cost plan.

## Things to consider

- HKD 258,000 is the published 2026/27 first-year tuition, not a fixed six-year total; MUST says sixth-year internship charges vary by country and hospital and tuition may rise by about 5% annually.
- Clinical placements may have different language requirements during teaching and assessment, depending on the training hospital location.
- The 2026 direct-admission window ran from 22 January to 22 April and classes started on 1 September; the next-cycle dates are not published in this packet.

## Best fit for

- Applicants with one of MUST's published school-leaving qualification routes and the required Chemistry result.
- Students comfortable building a multi-year budget rather than relying on the first-year tuition figure as a total-course quote.
- Applicants open to a clinical-training plan in which language and final-year location are determined by the recognised internship organisation.

## Campus and city

The Faculty is based within Macau University of Science and Technology. Its on-campus University Hospital is described by MUST as the Faculty's teaching arm, combining clinical, teaching and research support; published facilities include operating theatres, an ICU, imaging, laboratory diagnostics, endoscopy and haemodialysis services.

Macau is the programme location for the initial academic years and may be one internship-training location. The Faculty's current MBBS information also permits recognised training units beyond Macau, so the assigned final-year placement can affect clinical language, cost and day-to-day arrangements.

The competency-based MBBS runs five formal study years followed by a 12-month compulsory supervised internship. Year 3 includes hospital, family-medicine and community-health rotations for clinical examination practice with patients. The final clinical year is a year-long specialty clerkship with six eight-week rotations spanning surgery, medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, family medicine, psychiatry, community medicine and subspecialties. MUST monitors internship experience and supervisor logbooks.


## Hostel, food and safety

MUST requires non-local first- and second-year undergraduates to live in university dormitories and guarantees a place for non-local third-year undergraduates. The published dormitory rules do not provide one programme-wide room price in this packet; room type, availability and fee schedule should be selected as part of the applicant's documented cost plan.

No MBBS-specific meal plan or dietary-price schedule was identified in the reviewed official material. The cost plan therefore keeps food as a separate living-cost category instead of implying a university catering arrangement or a specific dietary option.

MUST's Student Affairs support menu includes counselling, group insurance and student-visa services. The programme record does not claim a safety ranking or a universal welfare outcome; it directs applicants to the relevant university service for the support that applies to their enrolment and residence status.

Student Affairs publishes contacts for dormitory matters, counselling, scholarships, student visa and group insurance. The Faculty also states that it monitors the compulsory internship through clinical-experience records and signed supervisor logbooks, providing an academic follow-up mechanism during the final training year.


## Frequently asked questions

### Is MUST MBBS a six-year programme?

Yes. MUST describes a six-year MBBS with five years of formal course work followed by a compulsory 12-month supervised internship. The Faculty's current programme page describes English as the teaching language, while noting that clinical teaching and assessment can have location-specific language requirements.

### What is the published 2026/27 tuition for MBBS?

The official non-Macao-resident fee table lists HKD 258,000 for first-year MBBS tuition. It separately lists a HKD 2,000 admission miscellaneous fee and HKD 10,000 refundable caution fee; insurance, health examination, textbooks and dormitory costs can be separate.

### Can I treat the first-year fee as the entire MBBS cost?

No. The university says sixth-year internship tuition varies by country and hospital and that tuition may increase by about 5% annually. A cost plan should preserve the confirmed first-year amount and keep later-year internship and living costs as variable rather than inventing a total.

### What school qualifications does MUST publish for direct MBBS admission?

The 2026 regulations list routes including A Levels or IAL, IBDP, SAT, ACT, Canadian Grade 12 and ATAR. Each route has a stated threshold, and the listed A Level, IB and Canadian routes include Chemistry requirements.

### Is there an MBBS interview?

Yes. MUST's 2026 direct-admission timetable says qualified MBBS applicants were interviewed by the Faculty of Medicine in May. The programme's next-cycle date and format should be taken from the next official admission notice when it is released.

### How do I apply to MUST MBBS?

Use MUST's Online Application System for Direct Admission, select the relevant programme route, upload the required qualification and identity records, then follow the Faculty's interview and offer-confirmation instructions. MUST states that it has not authorised recruitment agents for admissions.

### When does clinical training begin?

The published curriculum places clinical-foundation rotations in Year 3 at hospitals, family medicine and community-health clinics. The final clinical year contains specialty clerkship rotations before the compulsory supervised internship.

### Where can the internship take place?

After passing the MBBS examination, students complete a 12-month compulsory supervised internship at recognised training units in Macau and beyond. MUST monitors experience and signed supervisor logbooks; the training organisation can affect the clinical language used.

### Is the MBBS programme approved in Macau?

DSEDJ's higher-education programme register lists the MUST Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery as an approved bachelor programme. DSEDJ also published a 2025 HKCAAVQ quality-evaluation review. Those records do not by themselves establish a graduate's registration rights in another country.

### Does MUST provide accommodation support?

Non-local first- and second-year undergraduates are required to live in MUST dormitories, while non-local third-year undergraduates are guaranteed a place. Use the active dormitory room table for the chosen room type when finalising the accommodation budget.

### Are scholarships available for MBBS applicants?

MUST publishes competitive international admission scholarships for selected outstanding applicants. The listed distinguished award includes tuition, accommodation and a living allowance, while full and half awards cover tuition; retention follows published academic-performance conditions.

### Can this degree guarantee practice rights abroad?

No. The university programme approval and quality-review records establish educational status in Macau, while professional registration, examinations, language rules and immigration requirements are set by the jurisdiction where the graduate plans to practise.
