<p>each of the following countries:</p>
<p>UK
Australia
Singapore
Malaysia</p>
<p>because I am planning on becoming a doctor and since the canadian and american system is harder and longer Which university in the countries above have the best medical education?</p>
<p>thx for any replies</p>
<p>singapore is mainly for business....</p>
<p>where are you from??</p>
<p>I am a Malaysian but live in the United Arab Emirates</p>
<p>But isn't NUS is a very good university?</p>
<p>Australia's dentistry is top notch, medicine should be pretty good.</p>
<p>UK: King's College London, Oxford, Imperial and Cambridge</p>
<p>Yeah, I visited the Kings College medical school last week; very nice place to study and very well respected. Oxford Cambridge and Imperial would obviously be excellent if you can get in.</p>
<p>As for the other countries, i'm not so sure. In Canada at least, they are very snobby about education, and degrees from countries other than Canada the UK and the US are looked down upon by a lot of people. Not that I agree with that view, but that's the reality unfortunately.</p>
<p>Yeah, King's is really good for medicine. Not only general opinion but many top doctors have told me that as well.</p>
<p>do UK universities accept SAT scores?</p>
<p>You could also check out Ireland for Medicine. Same uni system as UK. Check out The Royal College of Surgeons, University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin.</p>
<p>yes, trinity college is very good. NUS is also good when it comes to medicine, and they offer an attractive fin. aid. package.</p>
<p>UK - In this order: Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, University College London, King's College London. All are extremely hard to get into, and all are expensive for internationals from outside the European Union and the European Economic Area. There will be no financial aid or inexpensive tuition for you if you are not in those two categories. In your last two years (your clinical years) expect to pay $50,000 in tuition and fees alone. Finally, medical students in the UK are expected to be in attendance at university for 48 weeks of the year. So although it is chronologically a shorter course, it is very intensive.</p>
<p>SAT scores are virtually useless as a factor in UK medical admissions. They are not respected. UK universities will look for reputable externally assessed subject examinations; IB is best, at 6 or 7 for HL only. AP is acceptable, but at 5 only. Additionally, you will have to take a medical knowledge and aptitude test, the BMAT.</p>
<p>Also, if you are an undergraduate student now, and are hoping to go to medical school in the UK, the system is organized differently from that in the US. Almost all UK medical students do a five or six year course, going straight through, with a degree, usually a MBBS, at the end of it. Then they have to do a licensing year. Your chances of transferring to year two or year three of a British medical degree are nonexistent. If you can get in to medical school, and pay the costs, your admission will be for a place in year one.</p>
<p>Edinburgh is also very good. It is where medical teaching kinda started.</p>
<p>The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland would probably be better than Trinity for Medicine as would University College Dublin.</p>
<p>Wow, can't believe you overlooked the ANU</p>
<p>Is the quality of malaysian universities good and recognized internationally?</p>
<p>I just read that australian universities start their semster in around february is that true?
will it mean that I have to wait more than 6 months to study because I am graduating in june 2008</p>
<p>bump

<p>Yep Australian National University would certainly be the most prestigious in Australia, although the others mentioned above are supposedly very good too.</p>
<p>anu's location sucks, unimelb FTW!</p>
