Studying Medicine &Dentistry in EuropeAlbemarle has a longstanding relationship with a number of prestigiousMedical and Dental Schools throughout Europe and we have several alumniwho have opted to pursue these professional degree courses at Europeanuniversities – including Charles University in Prague, Cardenal HerreraUniversity in Valencia, Spain, Iuliu Hatieganu University in Cluj, Romaniaamongst others.
Albemarle does not act as an agent for any of these universities so all ofour students can rest assured that they will receive free and impartial advicefrom us as to the benefits, costs and difficulties of studying in Europe. Havingseen alumni graduate and return to the UK to practice Medicine andDentistry we definitely believe that this is a viable alternative for certainstudents.
What OurStudents Say
Karishma PatelA-level Grades:Biology A, Chemistry A, English Literature A
DMITRY CHERNOVA-level Grades: Biology A*, Physics A*,Chemistry A, Maths A, French A
Niamh DohertyA-level Grades: Chemistry A, Maths A, Biology A
“Before coming to Albemarle I wason the verge of giving up on mydream of become a dentist. Thetutors at Albemarle were great and asI knew nothing about aptitude testsbefore attending this course, theyhelped me to feel much moreconfident and to put my mind atease.”Niamh is currently reading Dentistry atthe University of Bristol.
“What amazed at Albemarle washow good the teaching was across allof my subjects (the Sciences, Mathsand French) and how approachablethe teachers were - always at hand togive help and support, particularlyoutside of lessons. During my firstyear, the Life Skills programme reallyhelped to boost my confidence anddevelop skills which I have alreadystarted to use at university. MyPersonal Tutor, James really supportedme and helped me to secure a placeat one of the world’s top universities. Iwould certainly recommendAlbemarle as a great place to study A-levels.”Dmitry is currently reading Medicine atImperial College, London.
“When I joined Albemarle I wasapprehensive as I didn’t know if I could Iwanted. Through dedicated teaching,encouragement and guidance from myPersonal Tutor I started to believe it waspossible. Although Albemarle is a smallcollege, the friendly atmosphere andhelpful staff and teachers made learningeasy and enjoyable. I achieved thegrades I needed but without theguidance and advice on studytechnique I had from the tutors atAlbemarle I wouldn’t have beensuccessful in the BMAT exam nor gainedmy place at Imperial Medical School.”Karishma studied medicine and is nowa post graduate student at theUniversity of London.
