University of Nicosia Medical School 2020 entry

Are you a UK national? Will you go to Barnsley for clinical training in years 4 and 5? Won't UK nationals lose out if they receive clinical training in Cyprus and not Barnsley?

hello again haha

1. No im not UK national - im tanzanian
2. No im not going to barnsley - some of my colleagues are
3. Not necessarily. Will they be more comfortable workign in the NHS? Yes. but if i move to the UK to work in FY2 of FY1 locum - all i need is a few weeks - months to get adjusted to the system. I have the knowledge, i just need to get used to the system.

MD students seem satisfied with teaching but I'll let them confirm ...

Yup. Fully satisfied. Studied 3 years in the UK and 4 so far in Cyprus and i am satisfied.

As mentioend above, the MBBS and the MD degree are 2 completely different courses. You can also apply to FYs with the MD degree.

Hi, I’m currently in year 12 and Im definitely set on studying Medicine in Nicosia. I have looked at their website online and everything seems great. Their a level requirements are ABB, I was wondering if most applicants have higher grades. What’s their intake? Do we need to take the UCAT or any other entrance exam. And when should I apply for 2021 entry? Does it count as one UCAS option?
Thank you so much I’d be really grateful for any help!!!

Hi, I'm in Year 13 and holding an offer to study at Nicosia. Not sure if most applicants have higher grades or not, I was predicted A*A*A, (but wasn't very confident on achieving that), but honestly I wouldn't worry about that at all. As long as your predicted grades meet the ABB requirement they consider all applicants equally. I did ask about the intake at interview but honestly can't remember the exact number, I think it was something like 150? No, you don't need the UCAT or other entrance exams, when you apply they send you a list of required documents which includes passport, GCSEs and your school reference/predicted grades (this gets written up in Michaelmas of Year 13). Not sure when applications for 2021 open, I applied in January for 2020 entry through their website. Basically just look out for when it says "applications open for 2021 entry", but I wouldn't worry about it until you start Year 13. Also no, it's completely independent to UCAS and doesn't take up a place. Hope this helped

Hey guys
My name is Habib and i am a 4th year MD at university of Nicosia. I did my bachelors degree at Coventry Uni in the UK and moved to Cyprus for Medicine.

I had some free time due to the COVID lockdown so i thought i'd come on here and find students who want to study at UNIC and answer any questions

Let me know if you have any questions and i am more than happy to answer them.

Hello! I'm an international student interested in the 4 year MBBS SGUL program at the University of Nicosia. I have a question and would really appreciate your insight: what are the differences that you know in terms of quality/delivery of education between the 6 year MD and the graduate entry 4 year MBBS program? I assume, at least for the first 2 years of the MBBS program, that students in both programs use the same labs, libraries, etc. Would really appreciate your thoughts!

Thank you SO MUCH. I have a few more questions if that’s okay?

1. What are the tuition fees? Can English students get any finance support etc. (My family can’t afford thousands of pounds worth of tuition a year)

2) is the 5 year MBBS partnered with St George’s?

3) how competitive is the entry?

Thank you ever so much!!!!!

I am a 3rd year MBBS Student....not an MD student - this is an important distinction.
The MBBS course run by SGUL is appalling. Do not go to it if you have other options, the course is half assed from an administrative point of view, and the organisation and ability to teach is poor. The faculty are not interested in listening to students.
It does allow you the opportunity to work directly back into the Foundation programme as your degree is from SGUL not UNIC if it is the 4 year MBBS you are applying to.

Hey there
i can't really say much on the MBBS program but ive heard good and bad things, just like the MD program or just ike any other course in any university. In terms of problems with faculty members or some professors not being good etc etc.. delivery of education, for mbbs is through lectures, Problem based learning (PBL), self learning and placements with the MD its basically the same but less of the self learning and PBL. The MBBS clinical years i think start in 2nd year, whereas for the MD they start in year 4 with some basic placements in each year. You should take a look at the course outline for both the courses and compare them to get a better understanding.

The library is shared between MBBS and MD throughout the whole duration of studies and so are the meeting rooms. Labs are also used together but obviously when MD have their classses there, MBBS aren't there and vice versa. Even during placements, you barely see the other course because everything is just scattered.

Hope this helps

Hi
