I think there are some companies who do allow you to take out loans to cover Uni fees abroad? Or maybe what you say is true.

In any case, at least living expenses would be much cheaper in those countries then over here.

P.S.
Gdansk is a beautiful seaside city in Poland in my opinion. Not sure about the one in Czech though.


No loans are possible for studying abroad..

Thats something all applicants do look at some stage but there is no way for a loan..
What grades are you expected to obtain?

I have a friend in Poland studying medicine. He knows almost no Polish but seems to be getting along fine. He said it's costing his dad £20k a year to send him there. The grades you need are lower for Czech/Poland, but like people have said you need to pass admissions tests. My friend failed the Czech one (his older brother went there) but got into Poland.

Hello, if u want any questions about poland il be happy 2 answer.. im currently a medical student in poland :smile:
Why not reapply for a UK Medical school. Another year wont affect you that much and you will have a much more enjoyable time, not having to worry about settling into a new country and learning a new language.

It seems slightly insane to do this, if you meet the entry requirements of UK Medical Schools, Reapply is the way forward.
i heard its hard to get a job back in england after graduating from there?

By mistake.

Also the GMC will begin checking the competency of EEA graduates.

Im going to study dentistry in Poznan, Poland next week :biggrin: The uni is called Poznan University of Medical Sciences and is voted as the best med school in Poland this year!

I have a friend who's already studying there too, she's about to start her 4th year, and she absolutley loves the place. Apparently Poznan is a real student's town!

You cannot get a student loan for going abroad. It is impossible.
What would people say about studying medicine in China? Is it a bad idea?

LOL !!

That was my initial plan... to go China.
I have a relative there studying medicine so i was thinking of going there...
its really cheap and easy to get in... but i think you need to have biology, chemistry AND PHYSICS!

The first 6months or so you spend learning Chinese only..
But its not worth crap...
their degree is worth only as much as the paper its written on...

When you come to the UK or go anywhere in the world your screwed... So hard to get a job placement.

BUT its easy to get a place in China if you have good contacts.
