    Just looking through some info on Graduate Entry Medicine courses in the UK, it seems some are eligble for bursaries from the NHS in years 2-4. Does anyone have any experience with this? Are Irish students eligble for this?

    The fees some considerably smaller than those of Irish universities too. Is there any reason for this?

    reason, UK = more socialist, students are "expected" (not forced) to work for the NHS when they graduate. irish students arent "expected" to work for the HSE... they are "expected" to emmigrate.

    and yes it is ALOT ALOT ALOT cheaper, even the living expenses, if you go to a small town uni rather than one of the huge metro unis located in london, only had handful of graduate entry programs use GAMSAT though, most use UKCAT, same as the undergrad, some use BMAT, some expect you to have a health related degree, or atleast a science degree.

    & ofcourse, yes, all EU nationals are eligble.

    Thanks for the info!

    Just on another note, are graduates of any of the UK GEM schools eligble for application to the HSE for the internship year?

    From what I've read on it so far, I can't see why its not a more popular option, besides the uprooting for 4 years.

    Edit: Also, I've read around but still can't find a definite source that reliably determines the eligibility of EU students that are not from the UK. Can anyone help?

    its less popular because you need personal statement, letters of recommendation, work experience, and then to top it off an interview.

    and yes all european graduates are eligable to enter into the HSE's internship "match", I'll try to find the link for the last bit.
