The University of Nicosia in Cyprus gives students the chance to attend clinical placements at Barnsley NHS Foundation Trust in the UK.
When choosing a medical school, consider where you intend to work as well as the course itself. Clinical placements may help you understand a healthcare system, but they do not guarantee registration or employment. Check the requirements of the relevant regulator before applying.
When choosing a university for a successful medical career, students need to be aware of the clinical opportunities on offer. One of the best ways to be a globally mobile doctor is gaining a broad international clinical experience whilst studying. Gaining this experience in the country of your future employment is however the gold standard. Students most commonly arrange this informally or through established exchange programmes. Some universities have however established formal links with hospitals around the world.
The University of Nicosia in Cyprus does just this, giving students an advantage in securing their first employed position. In addition to the high-quality care offered at Limassol General Hospital, the University of Nicosia has established clinical links in the UK and the USA.
