i will be doing medicine in china..

as the title says, i will be heading to china this november to study medicine.
im actually very nervous about this, but this is the cheapest place i can find, and from what ive heard, it's actually a decent uni.
I was just wondering , what is the best way to prepare for it?
i mean, im scared that i will struggle in the first year, im scared i might fail, and so i just thought i better study ahead or something..
so if theres any medics out there, could you please give me some advise?
the only qualifications i have is A-levels, but my grades arent really good, its just C..
so again i was just wondering if i can do anything to prepare myself..
perhaps maybe i should revise bio and chem? or something?
thanks for reading.

Just wondering, how much will it cost you?

well try make friends of your own ethnicity and make sure they are good people.
on a very serious not china is no mumbo jumbo. crime in every society is a reality-when china is in focus.. it is very serious there. down take ally ways at night and days..when travelling take busy roads. make sure you are always accompanied by some guy when moving there.
i know alot of people who went to china for medicine-they went there in a group. so living for them was just ok-not easy

a lot of luck? and a delusion(or faith) that you'll be able to master the language in 1 semester?

I think it's really brave of you to go to China to study medicine. I have studied in several countries (Russia, Poland, Scotland, Holland) and although I couldn't speak Russian at first I learned it quickly enough. I went to poland to study veterinary medicine last year, but despite the previous experiences in Russia it was very different because the teachers were not speaking their motherlanguage (as they did in Russia) so they couldn't really explain what they were meant in English and half of the power points were also in Polish, so eventually I decided not to go back and finish my degree there. I really hope for you it will be different, although I don't have very good experiences with Chinese speaking perfectly understandable English. On google books you can already read up on your basic human anatomy and I would surely recommend you to familiarise yourself with some basic Mandarin and biochem, diseases, etc. Good luck!

Just wondering, how much will it cost you?

i need to pay about 10k u.s dollar every year, for 6 years and that includes everything

the whole thing would be thought in english, but mandarin classes are just there to help you outside.
I know its just too short, esp like mandarin which is the hardest i think..
but i just gotta do it i guess.. i got no other choice.

And you're from the UK?

Why exactly are you going to China? Cos your grades aren't AAB+?

You know they do medicine in Budapest for the same amount. Course is taught in English too.

Seems a bit extreme personally. Could have always gone for graduate entry. Are you going to live in China forever now or are you going to try and come back to England?

WHat uni are you going to?

yeah the guy who handled my application told me that there is 11 other international people thats joining this intake too..
i think theres 5-6 from malaysia ( like me ) and 1 from toronto canada, and i cant remember the others. So yea it is a group thing, thank god im not the only one man..i mean i know im 19 but going to china alone, cmon that is pretty scary..

nah, my grades are BBC, but its not really about that, its about the fees.. my parents can't afford it.. so that's why we turned to china, not only the fees are cheaper, the living expenses are really cheap as well..
hey Im not from england btw, Im from malaysia, and nahh i dont plan to practice or to live in china lol..just there for medicine thats all

So, you're probably in china by now right? ... do you mind sharing your experience? lol

What uni are you going to?

It's probably going to be very difficult to find a medical job outside China in the future...

It sounds like your going to China just so you end up with a medical degree

And I do not know how much of a linguist you are, but I am terrible and learning Mandarin in one year will be really hard especially with all the degree work you will have!

As I am applying this year I have no true knowledge on how hard the first semester is... but I would suggest just reading over your A level curriculum, and when you have recieved your modules and book list get them as soon as you can and start briefly studying it?

Well good luck for the future, hope it all works out
