Admission sources checked . Each requirement retains its programme and intake scope.
University of Malta Biology, Chemistry and oral examinations

Arrange entry and residence
Use the destination’s long-stay study route for your nationality and legal country of residence. An Indian passport holder living in Oman must follow the consular jurisdiction for their residence; a tourist visa is not the degree-study route.

University of Malta: MD and Medical Maltese
The five-year MD’s 2026/27 non-EU tuition is €26,000 per academic year. The admissions page links the intake’s evaluation criteria, Biology and Chemistry sample questions, and Medical Maltese syllabus. Applicable overseas applicants need to satisfy the Medical Maltese requirement as well as science admission criteria.

Queen Mary Malta: a separate UCAT route
Queen Mary’s Malta campus has its own application. Its entry page gives country-specific academic requirements and requires UCAT, with no waiver. The published CBSE/ISC route asks for 85% overall and 85% in Biology and Chemistry, alongside specified earlier-school results. English evidence and interview requirements also apply.
Different prices and payment schedules
Queen Mary publishes €39,500 a year for September 2027 starters and permits annual inflationary/policy increases. Its page offers full payment or half before enrolment with the remainder by 31 January 2028. These arrangements do not apply to the University of Malta.
Graduation, foundation training and registration
The University of Malta says the degree permits an application for limited registration and foundation doctor posts. That is distinct from full registration or a guaranteed foundation job. Queen Mary’s UK award also needs an assessment of the country of training and the intended regulator; do not infer guaranteed access to UK postgraduate training from the award name.
Keep each intake separate
The University of Malta sources here concern the 2026 intake; its 2027 dates are not established by those pages. Queen Mary’s quoted tuition expressly concerns 2027. Test booking, university application and visa planning are separate tasks.
Medical universities & course fees.
Each profile keeps its own faculty, fee year and applicant category. INR and OMR are planning conversions from 7 October 2026, rounded for comparison. They are not live exchange rates or payment quotes.
USD estimates use ECB reference rates dated 9 October 2026 and Bank of Russia rates effective 10 October 2026. Rounded planning amounts for the same fee period; bank rates and transfer charges differ.
