A six-year English Clinical Medicine route in Jinan
Shandong University’s official 2026–27 programme list places six-year English-medium Clinical Medicine at the School of Basic Medical Sciences, Baotuquan Campus in Jinan. The dedicated 2026 MBBS admission page lists RMB 45,000 annual tuition, requires CSCA Mathematics and Chemistry, and sets 31 July 2026 as the application deadline. That window is now closed.
Duration: 6 years
2026 tuition: RMB 45,000/year
Teaching: English-medium
CSCA: Mathematics + Chemistry
2026 deadline: 31 July
Is Shandong University a realistic MBBS option?
SDU may suit a Pakistani applicant aged 18 to 35 who has completed high school, can document English ability and is ready for CSCA Mathematics and Chemistry. The official 2026 MBBS page lists RMB 45,000 annual tuition, a non-refundable RMB 400 application fee, RMB 8,000–12,000 annual accommodation and an online application through SDU’s international-student system. Admission, room allocation, visa approval and Pakistan-side professional eligibility remain separate decisions.
What the official 2026 MBBS page confirms—and what the next intake must update
SDU published a dedicated 2026 Clinical Medicine (MBBS) admission page and a 2026–27 English-medium programme list. Together they confirm the programme, campus, duration, fees, CSCA subjects, application route and last deadline. The next application window, individual eligibility, assessment result, room allocation and Pakistan-side registration still require current decisions.

A copied agent sheet or social-media post cannot replace the official SDU notice, 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]. Academic or interview questions may be sent to [email protected]. If a claim cannot be matched to an SDU source or written response, treat it as unresolved.
Understanding SDU’s six-year English Clinical Medicine programme
SDU’s official 2026–27 English-medium list places Clinical Medicine at the School of Basic Medical Sciences on Baotuquan Campus and gives a six-year duration. Its MBBS site describes Cheeloo College of Medicine and a clinical network that includes five directly affiliated and five non-directly affiliated hospitals. Applicants should still request the current curriculum, hospital allocation, internship rules and graduation requirements before enrolment.

Programme identity
SDU’s official programme list names Clinical Medicine, lists English as the medium and assigns the programme to the School of Basic Medical Sciences. The exact programme name, final award, six-year duration and teaching language should appear consistently on the offer and admission 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 MBBS admission page, the official 2026–27 English-medium programme list, the World Directory entry for Shandong University Cheeloo College of Medicine and the official university website.
Shandong University MBBS eligibility planning
The official 2026 MBBS page lists an age range of 18 to 35, a high-school diploma or above, good health, a valid physical examination, a no-criminal-record certificate and English evidence. Applicants under 18 need additional guardian-related documents. It does not publish a Pakistan-specific HSSC percentage in the reviewed public text, so SDU must assess the complete FSc Pre-Medical or equivalent record.

General applicant conditions
- A non-Chinese citizen holding a valid regular foreign passport and meeting China’s nationality rules.
- Generally 18 to 35 years old, with a high-school diploma or above; under-18 applicants follow extra guardian rules.
- Physical and mental health suitable for study and a Foreigner Physical Examination Form valid for six months.
- No criminal record, supported by the certificate requested in the active checklist.
- English-language evidence accepted for the programme; confirm the active threshold and delivery route in writing.
- CSCA Mathematics and Chemistry for English-medium Clinical Medicine from the 2026 intake.
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 SDU guide gives no Pakistan-specific percentage.
- Keep the university decision separate from Pakistan’s current FSc, MDCAT and student-registration conditions.
- Prepare both required CSCA subjects: Mathematics and Chemistry.
- Incomplete, mistranslated or inconsistent documents can delay or prevent admission.
English-language evidence for Clinical Medicine
The dedicated 2026 MBBS admission page asks applicants to submit English certificates, but the public web text reviewed for this guide does not expose a safe, programme-specific minimum score. Do not import an IELTS or TOEFL cut-off from an older general bachelor guide, another campus or a different university.
A Pakistani applicant should send the exact certificate or medium-of-instruction evidence to SDU and obtain a written eligibility decision. The university may specify accepted tests, minimum scores, score validity and official-delivery rules inside the active portal or applicant notice.
| Evidence route | What is publicly confirmed | Practical check |
|---|---|---|
| English test certificate | The 2026 MBBS page requests English certificates. | Ask which tests, minimum scores and validity periods apply to the next intake. |
| Medium-of-instruction evidence | No automatic waiver is established in the reviewed MBBS web text. | Obtain written SDU acceptance before relying on a school letter. |
| Interview communication | The MBBS page publishes a dedicated academic/interview contact. | Prepare to explain the academic record and motivation clearly if invited. |
| Portal upload | The application is completed through SDU’s international-student system. | Follow the active portal’s file format and official score-delivery instructions. |
Prepare for CSCA Mathematics and Chemistry
SDU’s official MBBS admission page and current CSCA FAQ state that CSCA is required from 2026 and identify Mathematics and Chemistry for the MBBS application. The reviewed public text does not publish a minimum score. Eligible applicants should also monitor the portal and registered email for any academic review or online interview notice.

What the official sources confirm
- CSCA became part of SDU undergraduate admission from the 2026 intake.
- Mathematics and Chemistry are the two named MBBS subjects.
- A CSCA score report belongs in the application file.
- SDU publishes a dedicated MBBS academic and interview contact.
- Admission remains selective; submitting documents does not guarantee an offer.
What SDU 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.
- The interview date, platform, format, duration and scoring standard.
- Any additional academic assessment sent through the portal or applicant email.
A workable preparation sequence
- Download the official Mathematics 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 SDU application.
- Choose a session that leaves time for the valid report to reach SDU before the active deadline.
- Practise scientific terminology in English as well as calculations, chemical reasoning and timed problem solving.
- Keep the result, application form, transcript and passport identity consistent.
- Prepare a short, truthful explanation of your academic goals, English readiness, budget and reasons for choosing SDU.
- Test the camera, microphone, internet connection and quiet interview setting if SDU sends an interview notice.
Use the official CSCA website for registration, syllabus and test notices, and use SDU’s official 2026 admission page for the university requirement.
Shandong University MBBS fee planning
SDU’s official 2026 MBBS page lists RMB 45,000 annual tuition, an RMB 400 application fee, RMB 8,000–12,000 annual accommodation and RMB 800 annual medical insurance. It also lists an RMB 400 residence permit for a period of up to one year, an RMB 603 first-year physical examination and about RMB 1,000 per year for textbooks.
Official 2026 MBBS figure; future tuition can change.
Budget beyond the first payment and include clinical years.
An arithmetic scenario, not a fixed university quotation.
Confirm the residence, room, utilities and allocation.
Use the current enrolment notice for coverage and payment.
The general fees page says it is non-refundable once paid.

Six-year planning example
If the published RMB 45,000 tuition stayed unchanged for six academic years, tuition alone would total RMB 270,000. Adding six years at the low and high published accommodation figures produces tuition-and-room scenarios of RMB 318,000 and RMB 342,000. Add the RMB 400 application fee, six years of insurance, food, travel, books, residence formalities and every unquoted expense separately. These arithmetic scenarios are not guaranteed invoices, do not predict future fee changes and must never be converted into a fixed PKR promise.
| Official item | 2026 amount | Practical note |
|---|---|---|
| Application fee | RMB 400 | The general fees page says it is non-refundable once paid. |
| MBBS tuition | RMB 45,000/year | Obtain the applicant-specific invoice and payment schedule. |
| Accommodation | RMB 8,000–12,000/year | The allocated residence and room determine the actual charge. |
| Medical insurance | RMB 800/year | Confirm the active policy and coverage at enrolment. |
| Residence permit | RMB 400 for up to one year | Renewal and government charges can change. |
| Physical examination | RMB 603 in the first year | Confirm whether a local recheck is required after arrival. |
| Textbooks | About RMB 1,000/year | Actual academic-material costs can differ by year. |
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
SDU lists a Freshman Scholarship for MBBS, the Shandong University Freshman Scholarship for International Students and an academic scholarship for outstanding self-financed students. None should be treated as guaranteed income: eligibility, amount, coverage, competition and renewal conditions must come from a current written award. Families should request the invoice, official account, residence details, utility rules 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 SDU 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 to prepare an SDU international application
The official 2026 MBBS deadline was 31 July and registration was scheduled for 1 September. Applicants used SDU’s international-student application system and uploaded the required materials. For the next intake, wait for a new official notice and do not assume the old dates, fee, assessment or document rules remain unchanged.

Application sequence for the intended intake
- 1Read the active official guide
Record the programme name, teaching language, deadline, CSCA Mathematics and Chemistry, interview process, fees and accommodation from the university source.
- 2Check the complete eligibility route
Compare your HSSC science record, age, passport, English evidence and CSCA plan with SDU requirements, then check PM&DC conditions before paying the registration fee.
- 3Create the official online application
Use the application route linked by SDU and enter names and dates exactly as they appear on the passport and academic records. Keep control of the registered email address and password.
- 4Upload a quality-controlled document set
Use complete, legible scans and required notarisation or translation. Never modify a score, stamp, date, employment claim or education history to make the file appear stronger.
- 5Complete CSCA and any additional assessment
Submit a valid Mathematics and Chemistry CSCA report, then monitor the portal and registered email for any interview or route-specific assessment instruction.
- 6Review admission and payment instructions
Check programme, language, study length, RMB 45,000 tuition, Baotuquan Campus, room and deadline. Remit only through verified SDU instructions and retain the official receipt.
- 7Complete regulatory, visa and arrival steps
Obtain the required PM&DC student registration, follow the university’s visa-document process and carry original documents for verification at registration.
Document checklist for the 2026 intake
Complete the official international-student form through the route linked by SDU and keep the submitted copy.
Passport copy plus visa and entry-exit records when the applicant is already in China; provide nationality or residence evidence where China’s rules require it.
High-school diploma or expected-graduation proof and complete transcripts, following the active portal’s notarisation and translation rules.
Valid English certificate, CSCA Mathematics and Chemistry report, and other standardised scores if available.
A truthful study statement that agrees with the academic record, intended programme and application form.
Follow the active portal checklist for personal statement, recommendation, financial guarantee, photograph and any programme-specific supporting material.
A medical examination and no-criminal-record certificate issued within six months for the applicable route.
Use originals or notarised Chinese or English records; attach compliant translations for documents issued in another language.
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: start at SDU’s International Student Application System. The international admission office lists [email protected] and +86 (0)531 88364854. The MBBS page separately lists [email protected] and +86 (0)531 88382725 for academic or interview questions.
Accommodation and practical life at Baotuquan Campus
English Clinical Medicine is listed at Baotuquan Campus in Jinan. SDU’s 2026 MBBS page gives an annual accommodation range of RMB 8,000–12,000, but the public fee line does not promise a particular residence, room type or facilities to an individual applicant. Confirm the allocation, contract period, utilities and deposit in writing.
Residence planning
Use RMB 8,000–12,000 as the published annual range, but confirm the allocated residence, room, contract period, facilities, deposit and utilities before payment.
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 SDU before payment
- Which campus and residence building normally house new English Clinical Medicine students?
- Is the quoted room fee per student, per bed or per room, and what period does “year” cover?
- Which utilities, internet, bedding, air-conditioning or heating charges are separate?
- Is a deposit required, and what conditions apply to its return?
- Can first-year students choose a room type, or does the university allocate one?
- What happens if the preferred room category is unavailable?
- Are students required to remain in university accommodation?
- 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?
Jinan has hot, humid summers and cold, dry winters, so clothing, heating expectations and seasonal health planning matter. Students should also budget food, local transport, mobile service, dietary needs, prayer arrangements, communication apps, health access and practical Chinese. Baotuquan Campus is in Jinan; do not confuse Shandong University with Jinan University in Guangzhou.
Who may find SDU 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 are within the published 18–35 range and SDU confirms that your HSSC Pre-Medical record meets its current standard.
- You can prepare both CSCA Mathematics and Chemistry.
- You can provide English evidence accepted by SDU and complete an interview if invited.
- Your family can fund six years without assuming an unconfirmed scholarship.
- You can adapt to practical Chinese for daily life and patient-facing clinical 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 SDU’s public material.
- You are relying on an old English-test threshold or medium-of-instruction waiver without written SDU confirmation.
- You are being told the closed 31 July 2026 window is still active or that CSCA Chemistry is optional.
- You need a guaranteed scholarship, specific residence or fixed PKR price.
- You are being offered the five-year Chinese programme while expecting the six-year English route.
- You have not checked PM&DC student registration, internship and NRE conditions.
A seven-day readiness audit
- Collect the complete HSSC transcript and ask SDU to confirm eligibility because no Pakistan-specific percentage is published.
- Send the intended English evidence to SDU and obtain the active test, score or waiver decision in writing.
- Prepare CSCA Mathematics and Chemistry and monitor the active guide for interview or additional assessment.
- Build a six-year RMB budget using RMB 45,000 tuition as one line, then add 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 a clean document folder with consistent names, dates, scans, translations, health and conduct certificates.
- Wait for the next official application guide, submit well before its deadline and save every SDU reply, application update, assessment notice and invoice.
