The graduate entry medicine pathway (commonly referred to as "fast-track" and "accelerated MD") allows biomedical/life science graduates and healthcare professionals with similar academic qualifications to earn a Doctor of Medicine.
Using the recognition of previously studied subjects, graduate entry students can enter into a 6-year undergraduate course at a later stage, usually in year 2 or 3.
In European countries, such as Georgia, Poland, and Ukraine, the term "graduate entry" means entering as a graduate with a BSc degree to an undergraduate MD course. The standard medical courses in Europe are 6 years long. By entering as a graduate, you will have some subjects recognised, so you don’t have to study them again. The university will review your BSc transcript to estimate your semester of entry.
Admission teams will assess your subjects, study hours, and credits. These will then be equivalated to exempt you from the subjects you already studied in your Bachelor's degree. In turn, the university will allow you to shorten your study duration by reducing the number of subjects you must study to graduate.
The graduate entry route in Europe is popular among but not limited to Bachelor's degree holders such as nurses, biomedical and biochemical scientists, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and much more.
Medlink Students will guarantee your acceptance on the graduate medicine pathway long as you have a relevant degree. You will neither have to do an entrance exam nor attend an interview!
