Hi! Is it true that for ucv when you get an offer you need to pay 7500 euros to secure the place (like 6000 for the support package+ 1500 for deposit)? That's a lot. Also, I heard you need to pay 250 for the application fee too. In the European University Cyprus you don't have to pay such a high amount first although the total fees are 19900/year.

Yes it is a lot but the care package includes stuff like access to lawyers, pastoral support etc so is quite worthwhile in my opinion. The application fee was 300. Once you’ve paid the 300 application fee to a Star future which is who I presume you’re talking about, they notify the uni to send you an offer letter and you then have 10 days to pay the deposit +care package. The fees at UCV are also lower at 15,000€/yr.

Yeah, talked to some students from there and they all said those 2 years of Spanish is only when you talk to actual patients.. Which is understandable.. :biggrin:

What I actually wanna know is whether they have an entrance exam or not.. called Selectividad or sth like that..

How was the application process to UCV? Did u take an exam or just an interview?

There was no entrance exams or interviews! I submitted my application with my personal statement to Mark at A star future and he sent it off for me. Took a few days and got a reply within 2 or 3 days I think

I see. In the fees for the uni do you have to pay additional fees for the dental materials you have to use as part of the degree? Also, how hard is it to find accommodation?

over the 5 years its about €5000 apparently and its not spread evenly over the 5 years but obviously there'll be cheaper options like used equipment etc. and GDC education help you with that but ill probably just keep an eye out on any properties over the next few months
