Medicine in Romania/Europe in general

I am Romanian and applying to UK universities, from what I have heard from my classmates applying to medicine it is anything but easy to get in. They have very difficult exams and in order to secure a place you must get at least 8.5/10. Which is a lot. I can't tell you much, but what I do know is that Cluj is the top destination for Romanian students, they say it's very active and a lot of fun. Iasi is a beautiful city, doesn't have as many students and its universities are not as good but it would still be a good choice. I don't know how things work for international students but for Romanians it is very difficult to get into medicine school and I also heard something about the degrees not being recognized abroad. To tell you the truth, I don't think it is such a good idea to give up on UK education and end up with a much lower than average medical degree. Try looking for students on Facebook through the universities pages, I am certain they would be more than happy to provide you with further information. Best of luck

Hey I am currently studying in Romania and I have to say it was such a good decision! So if you don't have the grades and you really want to study then it is a good option

The only issue I had was applying to the university. Doing it on your own is a lengthy process and you can often get ripped off every step of the way.

My solution: I applied through an agency I was recommended by a friend - www.Medic-Link.org.uk and it worked out fantastic. They got me a place and sorted my accommodation, as well as introducing me to some colleagues.

Now I am settled and studying the course of my dreams! If you have any questions about studying abroad then let me know. I can remember how difficult it was to make the decision

Thank you so much! Please let me know what university you go to, if it's Cluj please advice me about applying there! Also, can you let me know how to apply back to the UK after graduating and if I will be able to get a job easily as I don't want to study in a different country for 6 years later finding out I can't practice in the UK also, are the quite a lot of british students in your university who apply there each year for Medicine?
Thanks!!!!

Im studying in Oradea, but I have been to cluj as well. There are some really nice cities in Romania, not like I expected it to be when I first learn of the idea!

I would suggest Applying through an agency like myself because it really took the uncertainty out of it when I graduate, I will apply for a FY2 position in the UK, its not as difficult as you think, I know quite a few people who returned to the UK after graduation.

There are more and more british students every year!
