Thinking of pursuing nursing but worry that the costs will burn a hole in your pocket? The programme fees for any healthcare programme can come at a hefty price. After all, the fees that you pay not only go to the quality of education you receive but also to the facilities and equipment that you’ll be using throughout your studies. 

But with International Medical College (IMC), this will be the least of your worries!
