Studying medicine in Europe

I live in Northern Ireland (part of the UK) and am considering applying to Southern Ireland (which is not part of the UK)

Although, I'm not sure.

Hi I am also applying this year, i think bulgaria (Varna and others) and italy (Milan) are the ones that I'm the most interested in so far but I'm still researching for other options. I know that on the 12th of october a bulgarian medical school is coming to the international study fair at Manchester so those who won't to apply might want to have a look (book tickets online for free). Application can be directly to the university or through agencies, I've seen a lot of them online but I don't know which one is the best so any experience from current studients might help.

Thanks outreach guides you for free so i'll go with them i think , anybody know if italian medical schools provide loans, i know Pleven in Bulgaria does.

Does outreach help you with the italian ones?

I am thinking of applying but I don't know how to apply. How have you applied?

Sorry for the late reply. No I haven't applied yet, but I have sent off a pre-application form to Eunicas and they sent back a list of topics we should know for the IMAT exam. Eunicas is an agency which I had to pay about £27 for registration. I really want to go to Milan but competition is incredibly high considering they only accept about 44 students I think? and there's 100s of students actually sitting the the exam all over Europe!
The entrance exam registration opens mid feb- mid march. Which I will be sitting and hopefully it goes well! Revision will be hard considering I am also revising for A2 bio, chem and math.
I attended the student world fair in London last week and learnt about the uni of Pleven in Bulgaria which is now definitely one of my options if all goes wrong and I don't get into uni of Milan.
For Pleven there is an entrance requirement of BB in bio and chem.

Crap. I don't do bio. I do physics maths chemistry

Ah that sucks, but if u did want to apply to Pleven it would be best to get in touch with the uni- or do it through Outreach Education
I havent done physics since GCSEs so dreading that bit in the IMAT exam!

Hi I am also going to apply for European Medicine this year, I was at the studentworld convention in London too. After speaking to one of the admissions woman for Pleven, I learned that their Medicine course starts in Feb 2014. It seems relatively easy to apply especially since you go through outreach education-they pretty much "do the application for you" as they told me. So if anyone is thinking of Bulgaria as a possibility you should start as soon as you can, bear in mind that some students have already got a place allocated for them (according to outreach education guy at convention in London).

:/ I'm freaking out slightly bcause apparently as an EU student we aren't entitled to any loans to cover tuition fees though I thought I heard in one of the seminars (at convention) that Italy can provide tuition loan to EU students studying there. However, the good people of outreach education has just informed me that infact, italy does not currently loan out money to EU students. :O :O so confused!

If anyone has any information regarding loans for tuition fees please help Thank you

Hi mobot. Yep they're lovely. They're encouraging but they're honest at the same time. Thats weird because tony hyde sent me an email saying that currently italy poland and czech rep arent loaning out money to eu students for tuition. Those are the places im thinking of applying to. Where are you going to apply to?

Ah, that is Bulgaria that has the loans, the rest don't. I looked at Czech as well but couldn't afford the tuition fees with out the loan for the full six years. Great to know the outreach education team are as good in the flesh as they have been on the phone and over e-mail.

I was being nosy in another thread and saw that the loans in Bulgaria are regular loans from banks there. Do not do that under any circumstances.

Can you explain that better?
