A six-year English Clinical Medicine route in Shanghai
Fudan University’s official 2026 MBBS guide describes a six-year English programme in Clinical Medicine at the School of Clinical Medicine. Tuition is listed at RMB 75,000 per year; applicants need CSCA Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, a qualifying English result or approved school-English waiver, and an interview. Both 2026 application phases are closed.
Duration: 6 years
2026 tuition: RMB 75,000/year
Teaching: English-medium
CSCA: Maths + Physics + Chemistry
2026 applications: Closed 6 March
Is Fudan University a realistic MBBS option?
Fudan may suit a Pakistani applicant with an excellent Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology background, a strong English result, three-subject CSCA preparation and a convincing interview. The 2026 guide lists RMB 75,000 annual tuition, a non-refundable RMB 800 application fee and a six-year duration. Fudan’s June 2026 insurance page lists RMB 800 per year. Housing, admission, visa approval and Pakistan-side professional eligibility remain separate decisions.
What Fudan’s 2026 MBBS guide confirms—and what the next intake must update
The official programme-specific guide confirms a six-year English MBBS, two closed 2026 application phases, mandatory CSCA Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, an interview, a detailed document file and RMB 75,000 annual tuition. It does not publish a Pakistan-specific percentage or intake quota, and it cannot decide the applicant’s current PM&DC eligibility.
Verified in Fudan’s 2026 guide
- Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) is an English-taught six-year programme in Clinical Medicine.
- It is designed for international students, and changing the major is not allowed.
- Applicants need an excellent Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology background; the programme list says color weakness and color blindness are not suitable.
- English routes are TOEFL 90, IELTS 6.5, Duolingo 110 or PTE Academic 61, with a possible waiver for high-school major courses taught in English.
- CSCA Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are mandatory and conducted in English.
- Both application phases—1–15 January and 23 February–6 March 2026—are closed.
- Tuition is RMB 75,000 per year and the non-refundable application fee is RMB 800.
Must still be confirmed for the applicant or next intake
- Whether the complete HSSC/FSc record meets Fudan’s current academic selection standard.
- The next application dates, accepted CSCA session, result-delivery deadline and any minimum score.
- Whether MBBS applicants receive any interview or additional assessment notice for the active intake.
- The exact active-portal checklist and file format for every academic and non-academic document.
- The first-year tuition confirmation deadline, refund conditions and official payment route.
- The residence building and room category actually available to the admitted student.
- Current PM&DC eligibility and student-registration requirements before travel.
A copied agent sheet or social-media post cannot replace the official Fudan guide, the applicant’s admission decision and the university invoice. Use the published 2026 figures to build a provisional plan, then compare every payment instruction and applicant-specific condition with the official application system or [email protected]. For academic eligibility and curriculum questions, the guide lists [email protected].
Understanding Fudan’s six-year English MBBS programme
Fudan began the English-taught undergraduate medical programme for international students in 2008. The 2026 guide describes an integrated curriculum spanning natural sciences, basic medicine and clinical medicine and says qualified students receive the M.B.B.S. degree after completing required credits. It also notes that excellent students may have opportunities for overseas clinical internships.

Programme identity
Fudan lists the award as Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), the field as Clinical Medicine, the school as the School of Clinical Medicine and the duration as six years. Those details should appear consistently on the active offer and academic documents.
Six-year commitment
Six years is a long academic and financial commitment. Families should plan for annual tuition, residence, insurance, living costs, travel and a contingency across the complete period, not only for the first payment.
Chinese-language reality
English-medium teaching does not remove the need for practical Chinese. Daily life, patient communication and some clinical environments can require language growth, so ask how Medical Chinese is taught and assessed.
Clinical placement evidence
Before admission, ask for the current clinical-training structure, the hospitals normally used, internship rules, teaching language during patient contact and the records issued for rotations and attendance.
Questions the admission catalogue does not answer by itself
Request the current English-medium curriculum, credit plan and assessment rules. Confirm how basic sciences, clinical subjects, laboratory learning and bedside training are sequenced.
Ask when Chinese and Medical Chinese begin, what proficiency is expected before clinical work and whether any hospital teaching or examinations use Chinese.
Confirm the affiliated hospitals, allocation process, supervision, attendance recording and whether the university can change the placement site during the programme.
Ask whether the sixth year includes internship or clerkship, where it can be completed, who approves an outside placement and which documents are issued afterwards.
Programme evidence: the official 2026 Fudan MBBS notice, the 2026 English-taught programme list, the World Directory entry for Shanghai Medical College, Fudan University and the official university website.
Fudan MBBS eligibility planning
The official 2026 guide requires a non-Chinese citizen with a foreign ordinary passport, a high-school qualification and university-entry eligibility, physical and mental health and no criminal record. It publishes no general upper age limit or Pakistan-specific HSSC percentage; applicants under 18 on 1 September 2026 need the stated China-based guardian guarantee.

General applicant conditions
- A physically and mentally healthy non-Chinese citizen meeting the applicable nationality rules and able to provide a no-criminal-record certificate.
- A high-school graduate or final-year student who can provide expected-graduation proof.
- An ordinary passport expiring after 1 March 2027 for the reviewed cycle.
- A guardian guarantee for any applicant under 18 on 1 September 2026.
- Two original English recommendation letters with handwritten signatures; electronic signatures are not accepted.
- Financial-support evidence including a guarantor’s bank deposit certificate of at least RMB 100,000 or equivalent.
- CSCA Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry plus the stated English evidence.
Pakistani academic file
- Submit the complete HSSC/FSc Pre-Medical or equivalent certificate and transcript with required English translations and notarisation.
- Present the actual Physics, Chemistry and Biology results; the reviewed Fudan guide gives no Pakistan-specific percentage.
- Keep the university decision separate from Pakistan’s current FSc, MDCAT and student-registration conditions.
- Prepare all three required CSCA subjects: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
- Incomplete, mistranslated or inconsistent documents can delay or prevent admission.
English-language routes for Clinical Medicine
The official 2026 guide lists TOEFL 90, IELTS 6.5, Duolingo English Test 110 or PTE Academic 61. Applicants whose high-school major courses were taught in English may be waived from this requirement, but the university must approve the waiver. A Pakistani medium-of-instruction letter should not be treated as automatic acceptance.
A Pakistani applicant should send the exact test and academic evidence to Fudan and obtain a written eligibility decision. The university may change accepted tests, score-report delivery or validity rules in the next guide.
| Route | Official 2026 guide | Practical check |
|---|---|---|
| IELTS | 6.5 or above | Confirm score validity and the active portal’s official-result requirements. |
| TOEFL | 90 or above; code C870 | Confirm score-report delivery and the accepted test format. |
| Duolingo English Test | 110 or above | Confirm that the next intake still accepts it. |
| PTE Academic | 61 or above | Confirm validity and official reporting. |
| High-school English-medium route | May be waived after Fudan approval | Submit evidence that major courses were taught in English and retain written approval. |
Prepare for CSCA Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry
Fudan’s 2026 MBBS guide requires all three CSCA subjects in English. Phase 1 accepted the December 2025 result; Phase 2 accepted December 2025 or January 2026. Applicants meeting the requirements then proceeded to an interview assessing overall qualities and communication skills. The guide publishes no minimum CSCA score or guaranteed admission threshold.

What the official guide confirms
- CSCA Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are compulsory and conducted in English.
- Applicants must obtain the CSCA report before submitting the Fudan application.
- Phase 1 accepted the December 2025 result; Phase 2 accepted December 2025 or January 2026.
- Applicants meeting Fudan’s requirements proceed to an interview.
- The interview primarily assesses overall qualities and communication skills.
- Admission remains selective; completing every test and document does not guarantee an offer.
What Fudan must confirm next
- The CSCA sessions accepted for the next application window.
- The latest result-delivery date and any minimum or competitive score.
- The examination language and official score-delivery method.
- Whether the applicant receives an interview or other assessment notice.
- The timeline for pre-admission review and first-year tuition confirmation.
A workable preparation sequence
- Download the official Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry syllabi and map every topic against the preparation schedule.
- Create the CSCA account with the same passport name and date of birth used in the Fudan application.
- Choose a session explicitly accepted by the active Fudan guide and leave time for the score report before the deadline.
- Practise scientific terminology in English as well as calculations, physical reasoning, chemistry and timed problem solving.
- Keep the score report, application form, transcript and passport identity consistent.
- Prepare concise, truthful explanations of academic strengths, programme choice, communication skills and any record gap for the interview.
- Monitor the portal and registered email for interview and pre-admission notices.
Use the official CSCA website for registration and syllabi, then use the active Fudan MBBS admission notice to confirm which result session is accepted.
Fudan MBBS fee planning
Fudan’s 2026 MBBS guide lists tuition at RMB 75,000 per year and a non-refundable RMB 800 online application fee. Its June 2026 insurance notice lists RMB 400 for six months or RMB 800 for one year. The reviewed MBBS guide does not promise a particular residence or publish a programme-specific room price, so housing must be budgeted separately and confirmed before payment.
Official 2026 figure; future tuition remains subject to approved standards.
Budget beyond the first payment and include clinical years.
An arithmetic scenario, not a fixed university quotation.
Do not assume a building or room price until Fudan confirms the allocation.
The June 2026 notice also lists RMB 400 for six months.
Pay online through the official system and keep the receipt.

Six-year planning example
If the published RMB 75,000 tuition stayed unchanged for six academic years, tuition alone would total RMB 450,000. This multiplication is only a planning model: Fudan says the exact tuition amount is announced at enrolment, and future approved standards may change. Add the RMB 800 application fee, insurance, accommodation, food, local transport, residence formalities, medical checks, learning materials, travel and a family contingency as separate lines. Never turn a planning conversion into a fixed PKR promise.
| Planning item | Published or verified reference | Practical note |
|---|---|---|
| Application fee | RMB 800 | Online and non-refundable in the 2026 guide. |
| MBBS tuition | RMB 75,000/year | The exact amount is announced at enrolment; request the applicant’s invoice. |
| Six-year tuition arithmetic | RMB 450,000 | Only if the annual figure remains unchanged; not a guaranteed quotation. |
| Medical insurance | RMB 400/6 months or RMB 800/year | Current June 2026 Fudan notice; confirm the enrolment requirement. |
| MBBS accommodation | Not specified in the reviewed guide | Confirm campus, room, reservation window, deposit, utilities and rate. |
| Handan-campus housing context | RMB 120/day main-building single; RMB 80/day main-building double; RMB 65/day supplementary-building single | Published Handan rates are context only, not a Fenglin or MBBS-room promise. |
| Residence permit and health check | Confirm on arrival | Use the current visa and registration instructions, not an old agent estimate. |
| Living costs | Personal budget required | Shanghai food, transport and lifestyle costs vary by student. |
Food, local transport, mobile service, laundry, study supplies, clothing and personal spending are not included in the known core calculation.
Plan for travel, visa work, medical checks, residence-permit formalities, document notarisation or legalisation, deposits and initial household items.
PKR/RMB movement and bank or remittance charges can change the real family cost. Keep a contingency rather than funding only the quoted amount.
A repeat, delayed completion, changed residence allocation or extra travel during clinical training can add costs beyond a simple six-year multiplication.
Scholarship, insurance and unquoted costs
The 2026 guide says the two top finally admitted students receive Shanghai Government Scholarship Class B with tuition exemption. It also lists the Fudan International Students Scholarship as competitive and based on academic achievement and admission evaluation. Neither route is guaranteed to an applicant. A scholarship should enter the family budget only after a written decision confirms the coverage, duration and renewal conditions. Request the current invoice, official account, residence details and refund policy before remitting money.
What Pakistani students must verify before admission
Three separate questions are often mixed together: whether a programme appears in a Chinese MOE English Clinical Medicine list, whether Fudan admits the individual applicant, and whether the student meets Pakistan’s rules for foreign medical education and later registration. A “yes” to one is not an automatic “yes” to the others.

- 1Check Pakistan-side admission eligibility
Read the PM&DC foreign-undergraduate policy that applies to your admission session. Check FSc or equivalent, MDCAT, subject and any other stated conditions using your own documents—not a friend’s case.
- 2Verify the institution and programme
Confirm the current institution and qualification criteria required by PM&DC, including any regulator, directory or allopathic-medicine conditions. Save dated evidence before paying.
- 3Obtain the required student registration
PM&DC’s current guidance says the Student Registration Certificate should be obtained through its online process before proceeding abroad. An admission letter does not replace this step.
- 4Protect academic and clinical records
Keep official syllabi, transcripts, attendance, study hours, rotation letters, clinical logbooks and internship documents. PM&DC guidance refers to programme duration, attendance and total instructional requirements that later need proof.
- 5Recheck internship and provisional registration
A separate PM&DC notice addresses provisional registration for foreign students or graduates undertaking clinical training, internship, observership or house job in Pakistan. Do not plan an internship location on an informal promise.
- 6Plan for the National Registration Examination
Foreign medical graduates should expect the licensing pathway applicable at the time they return. Rules can change during a six-year degree, so recheck them annually and again before clinical or licensing decisions.
Read the current official documents: PM&DC foreign undergraduate admission guidance and the PM&DC public notice for students seeking admission in foreign institutions.
How Fudan’s 2026 MBBS application worked
Phase 1 ran from 1–15 January 2026 and Phase 2 from 23 February–6 March 2026. Both are closed. Applicants first needed the relevant CSCA report, then applied through Fudan’s international-student system. Use this sequence to prepare, but wait for the next official MBBS guide before choosing a test session or paying.

Application sequence for the intended intake
- 1Complete the accepted CSCA session
For 2026, Fudan required Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry in English and told applicants to obtain the report before submitting the university application.
- 2Use the official Fudan portal
At istudent.fudan.edu.cn/apply, the guide directed applicants to Personal Application, Undergraduate and then MBBS. Names and dates must match the passport and academic file.
- 3Upload the complete document file
Provide legible scans, required translations and all nationality, academic, language, recommendation, financial and conduct evidence that applies to the applicant.
- 4Pay the application fee
The 2026 fee was RMB 800, payable online and non-refundable. Keep the official receipt and do not pay through a personal account.
- 5Attend the interview if invited
Eligible applicants proceed to an interview assessing overall qualities and communication skills. The reviewed programme guide does not publish an exemption or an additional written university assessment.
- 6Check the pre-admission result
The guide scheduled pre-admission results from 15 February for Phase 1 and 10 April for Phase 2. Pre-admitted applicants had to pay first-year tuition within two weeks of the result.
- 7Download formal documents and prepare arrival
Formal admission documents were due to become downloadable from 1 June 2026, with enrolment planned for late August or early September. Complete PM&DC, visa and arrival requirements separately.
Document checklist for the 2026 intake
Provide the passport and any nationality evidence required by the guide. For the 2026 cycle, the passport had to expire after 1 March 2027.
High-school diploma or official expected-graduation proof plus the complete transcript. Chinese or English translations and notarisation apply where required.
Provide the Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry CSCA report and the qualifying English result or evidence for Fudan’s school-English waiver review.
Submit two English recommendation letters bearing the referees’ handwritten signatures; the guide says electronic signatures are not accepted.
Write the required English personal statement within 5,000 characters and keep every claim consistent with the academic record.
The guarantor must provide a bank deposit certificate showing at least RMB 100,000 or the equivalent, together with the required support information.
Provide the no-criminal-record certificate, guardian guarantee if under 18, and any additional family-nationality documents that apply.
Relevant awards and other supporting achievements may be submitted, but they do not replace compulsory documents or guarantee selection.
Unexplained gaps, inconsistent dates and hidden enrolment can create more risk than an honest record with a clear explanation. Originals or properly authenticated documents may be required at registration, so keep the submitted file and the physical file consistent.
Official route: use the Fudan international-student application system only after cross-checking the active MBBS notice. The 2026 guide lists [email protected] and +86-21-65642258 for admission questions, and [email protected] and +86-21-54237368 for programme questions.
Accommodation and practical life in Shanghai
On-campus housing requires a separate online reservation and can fill. Fudan’s current Fenglin-campus page describes an international-student dormitory with 133 single rooms and 16 double rooms at 130 Dong’an Road, but the 2026 MBBS guide does not guarantee that building, a room category or a price to each admitted student.
Residence planning
Reserve within Fudan’s official window and confirm campus, building, bed, rate, deposit, utilities and contract period. If rooms are full, follow the university’s waiting-list or off-campus instructions.
Registration planning
Keep the original admission, passport, visa, health and academic documents safe and ready for verification. Follow the arrival guide issued with the admission documents.
Clinical-year logistics
Hospital rotations can affect travel time, daily routine and language needs. Ask whether residence changes or extra transport become necessary during clinical training.
Questions to send to Fudan before payment
- Will new MBBS students study and live at Fenglin campus in the intended year?
- Which residence building and room categories can an MBBS applicant reserve?
- What is the current price per student, bed or room, and what period does it cover?
- Which utilities, internet, bedding, air-conditioning or heating charges are separate?
- Is a deposit required, and what conditions apply to its return?
- What happens if the reservation portal shows no available room?
- What documents and police registration are required for approved off-campus housing?
- What arrival date, medical check and residence-registration steps apply?
- How is clinical placement transport handled in later years?
- Which emergency, health and international-student support contacts are available in English?
Shanghai has hot, humid summers, cold winters and a long rainy season. Students should plan seasonal clothing, bedding, food, local transport, dietary needs, prayer arrangements, communication apps and health access. English-medium study does not remove the practical need for Chinese in daily life and patient communication, so request Fudan’s current language progression and hospital-placement rules.
Who may find Fudan a suitable choice?
A shortlist should reflect the student’s actual profile, not only the university name. Compare academic fit, testing readiness, total cost, language expectations and Pakistan’s professional pathway before deciding.
It may suit you if…
- You hold or will complete a recognised high-school qualification and Fudan confirms that your full HSSC Pre-Medical record is eligible.
- You can prepare all three CSCA subjects: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
- You can provide TOEFL 90, DUOLINGO 110 or PTE 61, IELTS 6.5 or written Fudan approval of the stated exemption route.
- Your family can fund six years without assuming an unconfirmed scholarship.
- You are prepared to develop practical Chinese for daily life and patient communication.
- You will complete PM&DC checks before travel and protect detailed academic records throughout the degree.
Pause and verify if…
- You have been promised a Pakistan-specific percentage that does not appear in Fudan’s public material.
- You are relying on a school medium-of-instruction letter without written Fudan approval.
- You are being told that the 2026 MBBS application is still open or that CSCA Physics is optional.
- You need a guaranteed scholarship, guaranteed room type or fixed PKR price.
- You are relying on an agency seat-count claim that the public guide does not publish.
- You have not checked PM&DC student registration, internship and NRE conditions.
A seven-day readiness audit
- Collect the complete HSSC transcript and ask Fudan to confirm eligibility because no Pakistan-specific percentage is published.
- Resolve IELTS 6.5, TOEFL 90, Duolingo 110, PTE 61 or the approved school-English waiver route and list every missing document.
- Prepare CSCA Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry and a truthful interview explanation of academic strengths and programme choice.
- Build a six-year RMB budget using tuition as one line, then add unconfirmed accommodation, application fee, insurance, living, travel and contingency separately.
- Read PM&DC’s current foreign-admission guidance and record the student-registration steps that apply before departure.
- Prepare consistent scans, translations, two handwritten-signature recommendation letters, no-criminal-record evidence and the RMB 100,000 financial-support evidence.
- Wait for the next official MBBS guide, choose an accepted CSCA session, submit before the confirmed deadline and save every portal update, interview notice, decision and invoice.

Fudan University MBBS FAQs
Does Fudan University offer Clinical Medicine in English?
Yes. Fudan’s official 2026 guide describes a six-year English-taught programme in Clinical Medicine leading qualified students to the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degree. Fudan says it began the English medical programme for international students in 2008.
How many English Clinical Medicine places were listed for 2026?
The official guide reviewed for this page does not state an intake quota. Applicants should request current capacity directly and avoid relying on an unsourced agency seat figure.
How much is Fudan MBBS tuition?
The 2026 MBBS guide lists RMB 75,000 per year. It also lists a non-refundable RMB 800 application fee, while Fudan’s June 2026 insurance notice lists RMB 800 for one year. Accommodation and personal living costs are separate.
What is the Pakistan-specific academic requirement?
The official 2026 guide does not publish a Pakistan-specific HSSC percentage. It requires university-entry eligibility and an excellent Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology background. Submit the complete FSc Pre-Medical or equivalent record for a written decision and separately meet current PM&DC conditions.
Is CSCA required for Fudan?
Yes. Fudan required CSCA Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, conducted in English. The guide gives no minimum score, so the accepted test session, result deadline and competitive standard must be checked in the next notice.
Which English scores does Fudan accept?
The 2026 guide lists TOEFL 90, IELTS 6.5, Duolingo English Test 110 and PTE Academic 61. Applicants whose high-school major courses were taught in English may request a waiver, but Fudan must approve it.
Is there an admission interview?
Yes. Applicants meeting the requirements proceed to an interview that primarily assesses overall qualities and communication skills. The reviewed MBBS guide does not describe an additional written university assessment or an interview exemption.
When were the 2026 Fudan MBBS application deadlines?
Phase 1 ran from 1–15 January 2026 and Phase 2 from 23 February–6 March 2026. Both are closed. Wait for the next official MBBS notice rather than assuming the same dates or accepted CSCA sessions.
Is a Fudan scholarship guaranteed?
No. The guide says the two top finally admitted students receive Shanghai Government Scholarship Class B with tuition exemption and that the Fudan International Students Scholarship is competitive. Only a written award confirms coverage.
Is Fudan accommodation guaranteed for MBBS students?
No. Fudan requires a separate online reservation and rooms can fill. The Fenglin international residence has single and double rooms, but an applicant must confirm the MBBS campus, available category, current price and allocation.
Is Fudan automatically recognised by PM&DC?
No automatic or permanent guarantee should be assumed. Pakistani applicants must verify the current PM&DC institution, personal eligibility, student-registration, programme, internship and later NRE conditions before admission.
How should I prepare for the next intake?
Prepare the complete HSSC file, passport, translations, two handwritten-signature recommendations, personal statement, no-criminal-record certificate and RMB 100,000 financial evidence. Resolve English eligibility, study all three CSCA subjects, review PM&DC rules and wait for the next official guide.
Check marks, tests, documents and budget together
A useful review identifies gaps and official questions; it does not promise admission. Share your HSSC subject record, age, English evidence, CSCA plan, budget and intended Pakistan pathway.

Does your profile fit Fudan University?
Send your HSSC marks, English evidence and CSCA plan. We will compare them with the current evidence and identify every point that still needs a direct Fudan answer.
