Hi, all!
I am a fresh graduate from Aus. highschool-and am not a P.M or citizen there though- and have been planning to study overseas for quite a long time. Alike some of you active in this forum, I am planning to study medicine, of which course is conducted in English, in Eastern Europe.
Ok--hold on, I think I have had enough pros & cons as to attending universities in Eastern Europe. So lest it be really confidential and necessary, please do not give me 'why you shouldn't go there, because it's risky & harsh & they're always there to bribe you' type of thing. I think these comments are quite helpful, in a sense that you get to know the dark side of the nation (or perhaps the country itself is dark so --like Russia, no offence) BUT they have not helped ,me, at least, to understand about courses & make a decision.
Moreover, please correct me if I have a bucket of wrong ideas.
First up. Regardless of whichever the university you go to, if it be European university and nation that doesn't speak English --incl. Poland, Hungary, Russia--you OUGHT TO learn the foreign language anyway, for the sake of clerkship & dealing with patients during univ. years.
So -- is it true that you ought to learn Russian, Hungarian, Polish, or whatever, to study in that country?
Second, I am intending to go to SZEGED university, if I get a chance to study in Hungary. Knowing about the harsh reality? That's cool, but you see we have to stick to our goals and do EXTREMELY hard so we could be whatever we wanted to become/ end up with?
So please, please, don't tell me 'oh, you would end up wasting your money & time' UNLESS you have your time to talk to me and give me the objectvie info & experiences , not sentimental ones.
Third. I have considered: Polish medical schools, Russian medical schools and Hungarian. --The reason I am going to these schools are due to lack of $$ so please consider.-- Then again, this gets to a narrower point: Polish: University of Silesia,(and other med schools if they have not closed their application yet)
Hungarian: SZEGED, Semmelweis
Russian: People's Friendship University, St petersburg State univ faculty of med and Moscow state Univ faculty of med.
Fourth. I realised that Russian & Polish med programmes in English have not yet been recognised & accredited by any of the states. Programmes in their language have been approved though. I know this may be a pain in the neck kind of question -- I know there's a lot to know about licensure, residency, and so on so I have looked up and read - but I could only get a vague idea of what it is--but, COULD YOU TELL ME BY HOW MUCH DEGREE, IT WOULD BE DISADVANTAGES FOR STUDENTS GRADUATED FROM RUSSIA? IF state says they do not approve Russian med schools, then how far does it make it hard to get licensured in U.S?
Thank you,
waiting for your good talks :D
Yours sincerely,
