Hey guys
just wondered whether I was making the right decision for uni..
I'm doing IGCSE's right now and i'm hoping to get A* for all of them except English (my prelim marks were A* for all Chem, Bio, Physi, AS Maths but A for english XP)
and i'm going to do the same subjects for A level, but only do english to AS
is med the right choice? Cos I'm also thinking of Dentristry XP
oh and i'm thinking of uni in australia (esp Melbourne and Queensland)
-
u dont really need physics 4 medicine...n as fas as I know we're only allowed to take 3 a level subs and 1 as level right?? so basically chem is really imp for med..more than bio also...but its advisable 2 take bio as well..eng is kind of cumpolsory and as level eng is fine.. :)
-
most universities require A level Biology and Chemistry at grades AA and a B in any other subject (Math/Physics/ICT etc.)
im sure thats what the UK unis want .. austraila .. i dunno .. check their website :)
-
yeah bio n chem is compulsory everywhere ..
physics or maths in some places :\
english is fine if u wanna take it :D but u dnt need it :)
all the best :D

Medicine in england starts at aab
-
thanks guys :D :D
-
Anytme dude :D
-
I am entering medicine too. :)
I do not think you need to take english in As, iGCSE/O level is sufficient,,,
for As you need biology and chemisty and another 2 subjects
I do not know much about Studing in Australia.. Can anyone tell us about education overthere (i.e. how are the schools and the people and climate )
Thanks

I want to do medicine myself. I am still pondering where to go! (Hence, I haven't applied anywhere yet! :o) I also am interested in scholarships, etc as I don't have a stash of cash for university life; lol.

hey very similar case to me XD
altho ive already decided to go to melbourne university med lol
and @missbeautiful789? You HAAVVE to take AS English Literature to get into medicine. Actually, you can't get into ANY university without AS English, so I'm sorry to say that IGCSE english will not be sufficient enough to enter any university ><
altho i am talking about only the southern hemisphere, so i'm not sure what other places are like.. wot i said is true with all australian/newzealand schools.. :P in which case, where are you from?

You can do TOEFL or IELTS instead..

Check out the 2GB TOEFL torrent on freeetextbooks.com

id suggest you go for research rather than dentistry or medicine... it has a larger scope ahead.. im applying for both, but ill prefer going into research...

the US. system is weird, you have to complete a pre-med program and then apply for medicine .. it's considered a postgraduate degree .. dunno about dentistry but i guess its the same :-\
UK system is the best .. 5 years and ur done! :D
and i dunno about Australia .. but i guess theyre the same as the UK .. but check their web sites or something :)

5 years & I'm done? I heard 7 years :P.
Just wondering, am I gonna do that pre-med program when I first enter university & then apply for the specialised med department after?
By the way, where in the world has the best universities for dentistry? Us probably? ???

I'm also planning to go into medicine InshaAllah.
In the country i live in only one medicine uni it's well known but it's fees are :o.
Yes it's true if you want to apply to the uni in the country i live in
to medicine program you have to apply to pre-med program first which is 2 years,
then 4 years of medicine.
If you say that uk system is 5 years that's good :D
I heard that some uni's in egypt accept 8 Ig's and they're Uk system with a reasonable fees,
-
Canada is the hardest.
-
Canada is the hardest.
What exactly do you mean hardest? you mean like need high results or fee or
do u mean like how the medicine program goes
-
I recommend Otago University for Dentistry, it's ranked among at least top 10 universities for dentistry in the world.
And to clarify the postgraduate medicine degree,
you have to complete an undergraduate degree as first year uni student (either biomedical science or health sciences) and then fulfill the requirements the uni needs in order to be eligible for consideration into the postgraduate medicine programme.

can we go for research after studying medicine ???
