Medical studies are demanding yet enjoyable, structured in modules for focused learning. Despite the workload, peer support and class camaraderie are crucial. The programme offers an excellent social life and various extracurricular opportunities.
The first three years of medical studies cover basic subjects like anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and pathology. Each year focuses on different areas: anatomy in the first year, physiology and biochemistry in the second, and pharmacology and pathology in the third.
Medical studies are long, with six years of undergraduate study followed by specialisation, totalling at least a decade of training. The first three years focus on theoretical knowledge, while the last three involve practical training at the National University Hospital. The programme is demanding, time-consuming, and challenging, but also enjoyable, diverse, and rewarding, fostering lifelong friendships.
