<p>What are good medicine colleges/unis in Countries like US, Canada, France, generally Europe, which could offer also substantial financial aid for internationals? I heard it's hard to get finaid in the UK. Also please don't say only Harvard and so on, also some colleges easier to get into would be very helpful.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>First you have to differentiate between the US and the rest of the world. In the US you need to complete a Bachelor's degree before attending med school. In the rest of the world, you usually attend med school right out of high school.</p>
<p>Where are you from?
As an American you can "easily" get fin aid for US med schools, as a citizen of a European country you could get fin aid in the UK. In Germany you could attend med school for $600 of tuition per semester regardless of citizenship but you would have to be fluent in German.</p>
<p>I am from Western Europe. That's why I am not very familiar with the US system. But I heard there was premed, or something similar in the US..
Sorry for my ignorance, and thank you</p>
<p>Oops.. Sorry I mean Eastern Europe (where was my head..). So basically I'm interested in Wested Europe and US universities/colleges.</p>
<p>Pre-med in the US is just a series of introductory courses you need to take to qualify for med school and usually involves 2 semesters of biology, 2 semesters of physics, 2 semesters of organic chemistry and 1-2 semesters of inorganic chemistry. Most colleges don't have a pre-med major but rather a pre-med track, meaning you take the pre-med courses while completing the work for a regular major (which might be anything from biology to history). Then after completing your Bachelor's degree after 4 years you can go to med school which takes another 4 years (2 years of preclinical and 2 years of clinical studies). While quite a lot of international students receive financial aid during their undergraduate years, med schools usually do not support international students financially (the only exceptions I am aware of are Harvard and Yale).</p>
<p>Which country are you from exactly (inside or outside the EU)? And are you fluent in any foreign language other than English? I am asking this because medical education in Western Europe is generally done in the native language of the respective country.</p>
<p>Not EU, unfortunately. FLuent in Russian and a bit French.</p>
<p>It is surprising for me that there is no medicine major at undergraduate level. At us, people study medicine in college about six years, and then have more.</p>
<p>Anyway, what schools would provide a decent pre-med track?</p>
<p>you could study in australia</p>

<p>kha7577, aren't Australian universities quite expensive with little to no scholarships offered to international students (other than those from developing countries)?</p>
<p>ilig, I think almost every American university has a decent pre-med track because pre-med is really only consists of introductory courses.</p>
<p>after you finished medical school in the US what happens?</p>
