King Khalid medicine fee basis
| Fee component | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First joint year | SAR 1,550/credit hour | Use only with the official required credit plan; not enough by itself for a programme total. |
| Subsequent Medicine study | SAR 1,950/credit hour | Chargeable credits must be known before any total is calculated. |
| Internship | SAR 4,000/month | Internship duration and applicability must be confirmed in writing. |
| Preparatory-year reference | SAR 50,000/year | Separate preparatory-year figure; do not multiply across the Medicine programme without pathway confirmation. |
The page deliberately does not calculate a full programme total because the record is credit-based and stage-specific.

Verification
What should be checked before payment?
These notes are written to keep the fee page useful for families while staying clear about the things that must still be verified.
- Program conditions can change by intake year. Re-check the current Study in Saudi listing and university notice before payment.
- Indian students should verify NMC/FMGE/NExT pathway implications before final admission.
- Do not treat generic 'High School Diploma' wording as enough by itself; keep a full document file ready.
- Confirm internship, clinical training format, refund policy, and licensing eligibility in writing.
- Medicine pricing is credit-based: first joint year SAR 1,550 per credit hour, subsequent Medicine study SAR 1,950 per credit hour, and internship SAR 4,000 per month.
- Do not treat the separate SAR 50,000/year preparatory-year reference as standard annual MBBS tuition unless KKU confirms it for the exact pathway.
- Do not proceed until KKU confirms the educational visa and legal residency route for a non-resident Indian student.
