Hey everybody,

I just applied to University of Navarra in Spain. Does anyone have any info on this school? I.E. How it ranks in europe?

Any info on this school or area would be great!

I have no idea, but you can always go to the international forum under europe and ask. good luck!

I hope you find your answers, but I find it kind of funny that you applied without having any info on the school. Good luck!

Organator,

I lived in spain for 2 years and have visited navarra and by hearsay have heard great things about the school, ie, that it is one of the top Universities in Europe. There are no real rankings in Europe like in the U.S.

Anyone know any GOOD foreign MD websites?
Anything on Europe in particular?
PS: I did look over the webpage before applying, which is what I did for all of the US schools I applied to as well...

i heard that this one was good. They speak english at the school and its located in poland. I believe my friend goes to this one.

It's an excellent program. It was founded by its namesake, first name Dave, who was the lead guitarist for the band, Jane's addiction, and who married Carmen Electra, which spawned a superb MTV reality show. He's really quite a guy, and you'll get over how stupid he looks once you get to known what a brillant physcian he is.

I'm glad to hear you will have the chance to learn from a master like Dave. He's an world-renowned expert in proctology, so you get to learn all about the ***** straight from the horse's ***** (or mouth, if you prefer).

It's great to know that I will be able to study with Dave Navarra! Sweet! I really hope that he can put Janes Addiction on the staff as well.

I heard that Perry Farrell might come on as an consultant on addiction and para-normal cross dressing.

Plus they have a department studying sexual behavior and pyrotechnics called "Porno for Pyros."

Damn, I can't wait!

My name is Antoine , I'm a sixth year medical student from the university of Navarra.

But u must know something, studying here will occupy a big part of ur time if u r decided to finish it in 6 years.
Anyway, if u need any help or advice, mail me and I'll be glad to help u as Ican.. good luck

Moving to the International/Europe forum...

Are you a Spaniard? Does the university of Navarra accept foreign students? Just wondering, I lived in Pamplona for a couple months.

Here's a list of the Top 50 European universities according to the Times (London) Higher Education Supplement. http://www.thes.co.uk/statistics/int...dow_type=popup . This is not for med schools only though.

Ranger47,
Of course the University of Navarra accepts foreign students, I am French and I'm studying here.... more than 700students from more than 20nationalities are studying here in different faculties...the main language is Spanish althought u can find some faculties like Medicine and Economics which are offering the possibility to study the carreer in English & Spanish.

Thanks for that link. It wants you to register but I did a search on google "world university ranking .pdf" and came up with this:
http://www.epfl.ch/soc/etudes/pdf/wo...nkingsUnis.pdf

That, I believe, is a direct link.
Thanks!
Keep the rankings coming...

AS you have probably gathered I am picking up all the threads talking about applying to Spain..

Sepaul how did you apply exactly? What is your background? i.e. school leaver, which country etc? Did you go? Did you get in?

Any other help anyone can give me on how to go about applying to Spanish smed schools is much appreciated!

thanks

It's good that the Times tries to gauge school standards, but, like a lot of other rankers, they royally mess some things up when they stray outside their territory (in this case the UK). That's why you get such things as Paris I being ranked 76th in the world for Biomedicine while what is supposed to be France's top med school (and primary university for medical research) doesn't make it into the top 100. You see, there are no biomedical students, staff, or researchers at Paris I...it's a humanities school.

I wonder if they even took into account that most French doctors publish under their hospitals' names and not their universities. It doesn't look like it. That's the only way Strasbourg (43rd) could be ranked higher than other French schools which are much more important centres of medical research.

i am also interested in finding out how to apply to Spanish Schools. I have family there and spanish is my first language.

First of all you must get the recognitzion of your School Degrees by UNED www.uned.es .
You have to translate all your curriculum into Spanish and get the "equivalency" of your grades.
Then you must do some written exams:
Spanish (it's made of 3 parts: a commentary about a certain issue; reading comprehension and grammar).
Foreign language: English, German, French, Portuguese and Italian.
and 3 out of these 6: chemistry, physics, geology, math, biology, drawing.
If you're older than 25 the mark required to join the medical school is very low.
Any more info you can PM me or send e-mail.
Btw, the best way to start it, it should be asking the nearest Spanish embassy.
