Cyprus good for medicine??

I have applied in University of Nicosia in Cyprus. However the degree is for 6 years and it really bothers me that it is 6 years. I would really like to come to the UK and do medicine but I just feel like it will financially affect my parents. The medicine course in UK that I’ve applied to is only 5 years. Idk I just feel like 6 years is the only thing that’s bothering me.

Thank you :smile:
Have you considered the 5 year Queen Mary (Barts) Malta course? It's 5 years and you end up with a UK qualification.

I have applied there too but I fee like I won’t make it since my UKCAT score is 40 points lower than their requirement

Mine is 51 points lower but I am trying again in July :colondollar: You should apply, get a conditional offer and try our luck again with a fresh attempt in July/August.

Just noticed that you have applied. If you get an offer and qualify UCAT, would you rather go to QMUL Malta than UNIC Nicosia? If yes, do you have any reasons other than the higher cost of UNIC for choosing QMUL Malta?

Well the number of years are really a concern for me...if I get into Malta then I would go there because the program is for 5 years while the Cyprus one is for 6 years. Also because of brexit now the license that I receive now from Cyprus won’t be valid in UK anymore, while Malta would still be.

The University of Nicosia is affiliated with St George University UK. Why don’t you contact both universities to ask about fees and requirements and then decide.

Only their 4 year graduate entry MBBS is, not their six year MD
