I am a french student and I need your help

why would you want to come to england to study medicine. surely the fact alone that you do 6 years and here its only 5 should tell you you should stay in france.

unless you want to learn the language more. that is understandable.

Hello, I am French.
I have just ended my 6th year of medicine in France and I would like to pursue my studies in the United Kingdom. Regrettably I am a little lost. I believe that I have to apply for " Foundation Year 1 ". It is exact? Can you help me?

Here is the website through which we have to apply. 2009 is closed but 2010 opens up soon. Everything you need should be there.

If I've understood you correctly, you've qualified as a doctor in france and want to continue training in the UK.

Have a look at the foundation programme website and how to apply. There's a document containing eligibility criteria that you should have a look at as well which you can find on the how to apply page.

This is why you're unwelcome in the medicine forum.

Because you asked so nicely;

You are some sort of economics student trying to explain post-gradaute medical training and employment to a medical student who probably knows far more than you.

What is your point again? That after six years of UG medical training in France you need to do five further UG years in the UK? What's there to argue, it's so ignorant it's not even debatable.

EDIT: If I had neg repped you, you wouldn't be green. I always leave my name. If you're that fussed, I can prove it to you.

no. my point was that in general medicine students in the UK are worse educated. using the fact that they study 1 year less and my dads experience as examples to prove this.

i didn say u do 6 years in france and then another 5 years of undergrad in UK. i never said that.

fair does. the neg rep comment seemed to fit in pretty well with the attitude of "then get your daddy to type".

We won't discuss why people move to the UK from all over the world to practice medicine...

What do you suppose persuing my studies means?
