Study Medicine at European Faculties: Main Reasons – Part I

There are many reasons, why you should study medicine at European faculties. Here are some of them:

1. As current statistics have shown, the numbers of waiting years at universities increase more and more. All in all, a student who wants to study medicine in Spain needs to reach a high grade point average in order to get a university place. If the student does not reach this average, they will have to wait for another year to retake the entrance exam. Furthermore, the grade point average for getting admission to medicine is getting higher and higher every year. However, when you apply for studying medicine abroad, most of the universities offer an admission exam, and where necessary an interview, with which you can be admitted. This type of admission is clearly fairer than an admission through grade point average.

2. The quality of the studies at our universities in Europe, is better than the quality of the universities in other countries, e.g. in Spain. Many European universities have outpaced the Spanish universities in the field of teaching and science. The Charles University in Prague for example has a great renown worldwide and trains students to be excellent physicians. From our own experience with our students, that returned to Spain during their studies, we know that most of the ones that continue their studies in their home country are way ahead of their fellow students, regarding the study contents.

3. If you study medicine at European faculties, the focus lies especially on the practical training. At almost all our universities it begins, in contrast to medical studies in other countries, already in the first few semesters of the study course and accompanies the students until the end of their study. It is certainly a great advantage to be introduced to the practice of a physician as soon as possible and to learn and work in practice continually.
