Study Medicine in Europe

That alone would make me cancel plans to study in Italy! I was thinking of UniSR

Try Pavia in Italy. It will answer all of your requirements.
Visit there, look around, and see if you like it. Italy has no dissect, but otherwise very decent medical studies. Nice people, good food, plenty of things to do; plus Italian language is easy to pick up for your everyday use.
You can also try Milan med school, but the cost of living in Milan is higher, and so is the level of crime, as it’s a big city - nothing like London, Liverpool or Manchester though!

Yeah, I mean you also have low intensity years. I know fourth year is super relaxed. Most people use the time to travel about, do research etc. PUMS requires you to pass a CBS exam similar to the NBME Basic Comp. at the end of third year after a Kaplan review course, so it's quite intense up until then.

My brother was accepted to their Dentistry program a few weeks ago, he said the quiz was straightforward but there is no set pattern into what they ask you. The interviews were intense though, and they ask you some basic stuff mixed in with difficult questions. I really would recommend you go over the topics as much as you can, and do the online test questions they give you. During his interview only 1 person was accepted into the 6 year program out of 6-7 applicants.

Debrecen is another city and is not about 3 hours from budapest but on the other hand Semmelweis is in budapest (i think fees around £17,000). I completed a medical degree in Romania, Bucharest university called Carol Davila. All these unies teach in english. The experience for me was great I loved every minute of it but I must say I was really nervous and hesitant at the start. The night life is second to none and the city budapest is very beautiful and full of culture and life.
Sorry can not comment on agencies on here. So you can pm if you need some futher guidance on this

Thanks for the reply

:-) no, obviously, not, at least not directly - I chose to study in an accredited one. I did check private ones, as cost of studies wasn’t a concern for me, but I chose to go with an established institution of a higher rank that is compliant to EU and government standards. In addition to EU, The one I chose has bi-lateral agreements with US and Canada, which allows further opportunities. (PS. I had 3 offers. Also, I decided not to study in the UK - the level of education in UK is cr**p by comparison).

If you check carefully, the private institutions’ accreditation comes out of their giving a diploma from one of the accredited government place!

In the end, it is your choice where you want to spend your money and your time, and what it can give you at the end of the journey.

Depends where you will study and how well you will get through your exams.
If you take longer to prepare, you will have less free time after you’re finished.
Many universities have mandatory clinical practice, which takes 1 month.
Depending on the convenience of the flights and travel in general (and your having enough money to buy a ticket) you may be able to pop home for the weekend.
Home sickness is normal for people who haven’t left home before uni - it will get better in a second year, and you will be busy enough with studies. You can always keep in touch via Facetime, Skype, etc... just remember WHY you’re abroad - to study and to have a career. Medicine is time consuming. Try to occupy yourself with that, and you won’t have much time for anything else, TBH. that’s it, if you want to get good grades and become a good doctor.
If you want just to get through, you may need to consider something else...
realistically - first 3-4 years: 1-1.5 months home for summer; maybe 1 week for Christmas.
5/6 year you should be able to add Easter holiday to the mix, but once you start 6th year rotations, leaving for longer than a weekend will not be possible

The only place in Europe that does full dissections is Hungary. The costs are much higher, and the unis are much more competitive.
I am not sure what UniSR is.
There are some countries that do prosections I stead of dissections, but the benefit of prosection is very minimal in comparison with mannequins.

Hey there! You seem to be very knowledgable about medicine in Europe. Currently I hold an offer from Semmelweis and a few Czech universities.
I had decided upon Charles First Faculty until yesterday, however, today I got accepted in Semmelweis (I was placed in waiting before). So I wanted to know the pros and cons of studying there, it would be very helpful. Thanks
Budget is not an issue here.

Hey, I’m thinking about studying medicine in Europe as I can’t in the UK. I’m thinking of going to Charles University the First Faculty of Medicine in Prague as it has a very good reputation when it comes to medicine but I don’t know a lot of people who have gone to study there from the UK. My second option is Plovdiv Medical University in Bulgaria. I guess Bulgaria is cheaper in terms of accommodation etc but Charles University seems to have a better reputation and facilities which makes it harder to get a place. I can see more people go to Bulgaria from the UK and there are more agencies that work with Bulgarian universities. I can only think of one that helps you get into a few universities in Czech. Can someone give me any advise and help me decide? Thank you.

Thanks for the insight into Poland and Hungary. Do you have any info about the unis in Czech, especially 1st or 2nd Faculty of Medicine?

is anyone going to study at UMF Craiova 2021 please send me a pm

Don't apply to Inter Hecs they are the worst in terms of providing correct advise and support and they also took my advance money of £500 with no conscience despite me withdrawing from the process after 1 week. I wanted to join Bulgarian University via InterHecs. They had not done any admin work!! Not professional!This was for 2023-2024 intake.
