Every Medlink Students advisor has years of experience in guiding international students on the best university options abroad. We consult more than 10,000 students every year.
We know exactly what students need because we were once medical and dental students ourselves, and we’ll be by your side. We'll help you every step of the way, from our initial consultation to the moment you set foot on campus and during your entire course duration.
While admission decisions are ultimately made by each university and its admissions board, Medlink Students has helped thousands of students successfully secure places at top universities abroad. Our experience, expert guidance, and structured support significantly improve your chances of success.
Our team of doctors, admission experts, certified academic advisors and current medical students will guide you through every step of your journey to becoming a doctor or dentist.
We will support you in building a strong, competitive application and ensure all documents are accurate, complete, and submitted ahead of deadlines. You will also receive tailored preparation for entrance exams and interviews, giving you a real advantage in the admissions process.
Because studying in Europe is a very enriching and eye-opening experience. Europe is the path considered by many students who dream of becoming doctors. Universities in Europe are very similar to universities in other countries, with many international students from all over the world, including the UK.
This will be an exciting adventure for you. Maybe your parents will be a little worried about you going abroad so the best way to address their concerns is to call one of our representatives and we will answer all the questions they have.
There is no universal application deadline for all medical universities in Europe. Many medical schools close their admissions when all places are filled, which is why it’s essential to apply as early as possible.
It’s best to get started as soon as you decide you want to study medicine in Europe, since you’ll have more options. Applying early also allows enough time to prepare for entrance exams, gather and submit all required documents, and complete the visa process without unnecessary rush or pressure.
But even if you are applying later in the admissions cycle, there is no need to worry. Medlink Students will help you find the best university according to your needs. We work with many medical schools that have rolling admissions or later intakes, and will recommend universities based on their official deadlines and entry requirements.
No, applications to European medical universities are separate from UCAS. Medlink Students is not affiliated with UCAS, as European universities operate outside the UK admissions system.
This means you can apply to UK universities through UCAS and, at the same time, apply to medical universities in Europe with support from Medlink Students. The two routes are completely independent and do not affect one another.
When you apply with Medlink Students, we manage your European university applications via direct contact with your chosen medical schools, ensuring everything is accurate, consistent, and fully aligned with each university’s official requirements. This allows you to keep your options open while receiving expert guidance throughout the process.
Yes. Some health-related bachelor's degree holders decide to switch careers and become doctors and dentists. We offer entry into the 2nd or 3rd year of the 6-year undergraduate medicine or dentistry course under certain conditions. Fill in an application on our website, and we will have an expert student advisor take a look at your application and call you to discuss your options with you.
You may be provided with the opportunity to take the exam in your country (online) or at the university, you wish to study at. Ask your advisor about this for more details.
Yes! Usually, international students don’t speak the local language of Eastern European countries. Our students from all over the world get accepted without needing to know the local language of the destination country before arrival.
The University will allocate a couple of hours where you learn the basic language as part of the curriculum to help you adapt to the culture, integrate, and enjoy your stay. A lot of young people in Eastern Europe speak English so generally you may be able to communicate in English.
Yes! All lessons, all midterms, all exams will be in English.
Visa requirements depend on your nationality and the country where you plan to study, as each country has its own rules set by their respective embassies or immigration authorities.
While Medlink Students cannot provide legal or immigration advice, we actively support you throughout the process of securing a visa and relocating. Our team will help you understand the steps involved and prepare any required documents, all while working closely with your chosen university, so you receive the correct official visa guidelines and guidance from the appropriate authorities.
We stay closely involved to help make the visa application process as clear, organised, and stress-free as possible for every student we support.
No, you do not need English language certificates to apply. Some universities require this from students who do not come from English-speaking countries or if students did not learn English at school.
Yes, after graduating from medical school, the specialisation must be done in the local language. We will usually get you accepted into a language course at the university for 10 months, which you must pass, and then you’re guaranteed entry into your desired medical speciality.
If you specialise in the UK, you do not have to study a year of language as long as you know English. Our institute of Medical Sciences in Canterbury offers courses designed to challenge you academically and provide you with enhanced skills and knowledge. We provide courses in MSc, Physician Associate Studies, MCh in Surgery– Otorhinolaryngology, MCh in Surgery – Orthopaedics and Regenerative Medicine, MCh in Surgery – Urology, MCh in Surgery – Ophthalmology.
We can help you get to rent a private room or apartment upon availability. University dorms are amazingly cheap and shared with other students! However, due to the low prices of renting in Europe, international students tend to rent their private flats as it’s more comfortable.
Yes, get in touch and tell us what you’d like to study. We can certainly help you!
Yes, absolutely! Read more about your options for studying medicine or dentistry with BTECs.
Medical universities are expensive and accept a small and limited number of students in your home country. We want to give students like yourself the opportunity to pursue their dreams and study medicine in good quality, safe and affordable universities for you in Europe.
Degree recognition depends on each country's set of rules and licensing requirements. Generally, the most important aspect is ensuring that your chosen university and medical programme are accredited.
All universities we work with are listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS), which is a key reference used by medical regulators worldwide, including the General Medical Council in the UK and other national authorities. This listing is important for your future licensing and postgraduate pathways, as WDOMS only includes accredited universities.
At Medlink Students, we offer up-to-date information from official university listings and recognised medical directories to help you make informed decisions. However, since recognition rules and licensing pathways vary by country and may change, we always recommend checking the latest requirements with the medical council or professional regulator in the country where you intend to practise, or by asking one of our academic advisors.
We are here to help you understand your options clearly and choose a university that aligns with your long-term career goals.
Before 2024, all international medical graduates have to pass the PLAB exam to gain a UK doctor's licence. After 2024, the PLAB will be replaced by the UKMLA, which will be sat by all medical graduates no matter if they studied in the UK or abroad.
Yes, many mature students are studying medicine in Europe. After all, it’s never too late to study and start to pursue your dream!

Some universities require an entrance exam to test your English language skills because the whole course is in English. This exam is done for Non-EU students or students that have not studied English in school. Some universities may ask you to demonstrate your English language skills, so you may be asked to sit an exam.
Certain universities require you to sit a competitive entrance exam in Biology and Chemistry. We will provide you with ALL the necessary material to easily ACE the exam and beat the competition.
Some universities don’t require an exam. They accept you based on the file you submit, so you must have a very competitive record. We make sure of this by putting together a solid file using our experienced team and knowledge of what the admission team is looking for.
We highly recommend that you sit the exam with us at the university itself. Otherwise, we can arrange for you to sit in your home country. This is the perfect opportunity to get a good idea of the university, atmosphere, and the city where you will spend 6 years of your life.
After your entrance test, you’ll get to meet our team of medical and dental students on the campus who will tour you around. You’ll get to chat with them and get a REAL-feel of what day-to-day life is like as a student on that campus. We’re sure that a telephone secretary in the UK who’s never set foot on a medical campus can even begin to fathom what the hectic student life is like – because they’re a secretary, not a medical student!
Eligibility to study medicine or dentistry depends on each university's policies and the regulations set by the education or health authorities in the country where you plan to study. Some countries may require background checks or have specific criteria regarding criminal records or medical fitness.
At Medlink Students, we treat every applicant fairly, respectfully, and without discrimination. While final decisions are made by the university or relevant authorities, we support you throughout the process, helping you understand any additional requirements and advising you on available options based on your individual circumstances.
Our goal is to provide you with clear information, realistic expectations, and the right guidance at every stage of your application, so you can achieve your dreams of becoming a doctor.
A lot of young people know English, but the older population is not as fluent. For this reason, you’ll be taught the basics of the local language for a few hours a week during the first three years of your degree. In addition to this, your professor or assistant will be helping you by translating what the patient says into English so you fully understand what’s going on.
It isn’t easy to get a scholarship, but we do help you study at an affordable university.
Medlink students specialises in medical school transfers in Europe, and medical students know us for helping them transfer to another medical university. We have helped medical students who have been kicked out of their medical schools secure a place elsewhere very quickly. We’ve helped students transfer between universities in their own country or transfer from one country to another. We guarantee to transfer you to the highest possible year we can. We’re here to help you maximise your potential and get the most out of your medical education!
Yes. Medlink Students has extensive experience supporting students as they relocate to Europe and regularly works alongside consulates, embassies, and trusted professionals involved in the visa process.
In addition to our in-house team, we cooperate with carefully selected affiliate partners abroad, including local legal practitioners, immigration support services, and visa or residency specialists who assist with country-specific requirements.
While visa decisions are always made by the relevant authorities, we support you throughout the process by providing clear guidance, easy-to-follow checklists, while coordinating with the appropriate third-party specialists where needed.
Yes, we have a list of highly respected and decent letting agencies and landlords that are on the ground, ready to help you upon your arrival. Most of our UK students usually live in private apartments shared with their fellow course mates. Flats are at a very affordable price and located in the heart of the city centre or very close to the university.
That’s absolutely fine — we’re always happy to see our students achieve their goals. If you receive an offer to study medicine or dentistry in the UK and decide not to proceed with your European application, please let us know immediately.
