FAQ

Do you wish to study medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, or pharmacy abroad? Here is how the process works:

1. You will contact me and explain your desired study program, university, and tuition fee expectations. If you are a transfer student, I can explain to you options for transfer universities, with which I collaborate with.
2. I will suggest universities and explain the process for application, submission documents, admission process, application fees or tuition fees structure.
3. If a university has an entrance exam, I can offer preparatory courses for medical university in Kosice and Jessenius Faculty of Medicine in Martin. For other universities, I may appoint individual tutor from biology and chemistry.
4. If the conditions for admission are met (e.g. by entrance exam), we will work on recognition of academic documents and enrollment documents.
5. You will pay enrollment fee and tuition fees and can start your studies.

If you wish to transfer from one medical, veterinary, or pharmaceutical university to another, you usually need a transcript of records and syllabuses with a stamp from the study office. In most cases, you will need to write an entrance exam in biology and chemistry. Once you pass it, you will be enrolled in the 1st year and can apply for recognition of completed subjects. The majority of medical schools offer transfers to a maximum of 3 years, in most cases only EU-based universities are recognized. If you need advisory regarding study transfer, make sure to contact me.

No, it is not possible to guarantee a transfer year or recognized subjects. On the other hand, if the agency has experience from the past (students usually transfer to the same universities), it is possible to give an estimation of the transfer year. The basic requirement would be that syllabuses or course structure have not changed meanwhile.

Students who would like to study medicine in the European Union should have a budget of at least 11.000€ per year (installments are usually allowed).

Students study in the English language. If you speak the local language (e.g. Slovak language in Slovakia) you can apply also for studies in the local language that are free in most cases. There are also few universities in Europe, that offer medical studies in the German language (e.g. in Croatia or Hungary).

The most frequent admission rule is to pass an entrance exam in biology and chemistry. Only students who are graduates of high school are eligible for university admission. Marks from high school (secondary school) are not taken into consideration in the majority of cases. The entrance exam has the form of a written test, some universities (e.g. in the Czech Republic or Poland) also do oral interviews after the written test.

A language certificate is usually not required for applicants to medical schools. In case of universities that Medhead represents, only the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice (Poland) and Riga Stradins University (Latvia) requires language certificates.

The pricing depends on the services that you require. Applicants usually need help with registration documents, the enrollment process, preparation for the entrance test, recognition of completed subjects, and relocation assistance.
