This is how much a medical student costs
It is well known that the training of a doctor takes 6 years. Within these 6 years, it takes a lot of resources to turn a student into a doctor.

Studying medicine: this is how much it costs
100% of the tuition fees are covered by the state! This means that you will be spared a lot of debt if you study in Germany.
Provided, of course, that your NC is good enough and you can study at a state university. If you are in the Study abroador at a private university, then the costs can be quite different.
