A growing number of British students aspiring to become doctors are turning their attention to the home of the fearsome Count Dracula.
An English-taught medical degree at the University of Carol Davila in Bucharest, Romania is becoming more and more attractive for its cheap tuition fees and the prospect of spending six years in a foreign country.
“The system over here is quite traditional, similar to Oxford and Cambridge,” says medical graduate Anil Sachdev
English organisation Plus Med Students helps British students get a place on this medical course. There is more practical work in Romania than the UK, according to Plus Med Students. It adds that qualified students can work in the UK and across the world as doctors without having to sit additional exams – perhaps the most popular aspect of the programme.
