Know what you pay.
University charges and FirstLiners services are separate. Start with the fee breakdown for your exact programme.
First year.
Second year onwards.
The first year includes the university costs and the two one-time FirstLiners charges. The second-year breakdown removes those company charges and shows the ongoing study costs.
Every university is different. A room priced per day or per room keeps that billing unit. A study fee subtotal includes only the priced rows shown beside it.

What is included in a study fee subtotal?
Only the priced components shown in that table. A profile explicitly says whether accommodation is included. Deposits, medical checks, visa charges, books, utilities, food, flights and personal spending can be separate.
Are room prices added together?
No. Accommodation options are alternatives. Pay for the room you are allocated. Whole-room, bed, daily, monthly and annual rates keep their original units.
Do I pay a prepayment twice?
A prepayment credited to tuition or accommodation is part of that charge. It is not added again to the annual cost. Read each deposit or prepayment condition carefully; some are non-refundable.
Are later years always identical?
The second-year-onwards table shows ongoing costs. Beihua and Ningxia have separate final-year tuition information. Other programme-stage or accommodation changes are explained in the profile.
Can I subtract a scholarship from the fees?
Only after you receive a scholarship award covering your exact programme and costs. Scholarships have their own nationality, language, selection and renewal rules.
Does admission guarantee a visa or medical licence?
Admission, the study visa and professional registration are separate decisions. Your intended country of practice sets its medical licensing requirements. Review these with FirstLiners before choosing your degree.
Choose the right funding route.
Some awards support enrolled students, some fund Chinese-taught degrees, and others apply only to selected nationalities or programmes. Each university profile explains the relevant options and conditions. An English-entry medical programme is not automatically covered by every scholarship.
