Batterjee Medical College

What Batterjee Medical College does

Batterjee Medical College (BMC) is a private, for-profit medical institution headquartered in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, operating four fully functional campuses — Jeddah (headquarters), Khamis Mushait (Aseer), and Dammam in Saudi Arabia, plus Dubai in the United Arab Emirates — with two additional domestic campuses (Al Madinah and Al Qassim) scheduled to open in 2026. The college was established in 2003, with the Health Management program launching in 2006 and the Nursing program in 2009–2010, and now serves a student body of more than 50 nationalities through 11 undergraduate programs (Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Pharm-D, Occupational Therapy, Respiratory Therapy, Physical Therapy, Health Management, Radiological Sciences, Health Informatics, and others), one master's program (Pharmacology and Toxicology), preparatory foundation tracks, and accelerated admission options. BMC positions itself as a direct contributor to Saudi Vision 2030 healthcare workforce localization.

BMC's academic platform is anchored in simulation-based learning. The Jeddah campus houses a state-of-the-art virtual hospital, digital simulators across radiology, nursing, and therapy programs, and an auditorium with capacity for over 1,500 participants. Curriculum delivery blends simulation pedagogy with clinical rotations delivered through formal partnerships with the Ministry of Health hospital network and the Saudi German Hospitals Group, with supplementary international collaborations including the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and King Khalid University. The college holds full institutional accreditation from the National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Assessment (NCAAA) — making it the first college in Saudi Arabia to achieve 100% program accreditation — and has stacked international programmatic accreditations from ACPE (Pharmacy), CCNE and ACEN (Nursing), and AHPGS (Radiological Sciences and General Dentistry, February 2024). An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence course is embedded in the preparatory year, and simulation faculty include leadership with explicit AI integration mandates (notably in Radiological Sciences).

The revenue model is tuition-led and semester-based, with published fees ranging from 25,000 to 50,000 SR (approximately $6,700–$13,300) per semester for Saudi programs and 30,000 AED for UAE programs in Dubai, supplemented by a 4,500 SAR non-refundable registration fee and a 6,000 SAR Academic Acceleration exam fee. To broaden access, BMC operates a portfolio of scholarship and financial aid programs including Al-Forsan (up to SAR 600,000), Tamkeen, Daem, and Tomoh, alongside a 10% employee discount for the broader Batterjee Group. The college markets directly to prospective students via its online application portal, a multi-channel social presence, recruitment events, and the national Study in Saudi Arabia platform for international candidates. A small but distinct Business Development unit generates supplementary revenue through venue and facility rentals. Graduate employment is concentrated in the Saudi German Hospitals Group, which provides a primary placement pipeline in exchange for clinical training access.
