Hi all,
Im a non Eu citizen who graduated from a Romanian medical school
I have a few years of practice an would like to a pursue a masters degree in a Eu country and after wards do my specialization, hopefully in Internal medicine.
Optimally in the time i do my master i could get settled down and well aquainted with the language and lifestyle.
Im thinking about Masters inPublic health orGenetics(anything to do with stem cell research)preferable taught in english.leaning towards sweden, germany, holland or ireland.
If anyone could tell me where to start im feeling sorta lost and dont know wat to do.
What is the program where im more likely to be accepted in Masters in least time. I cannt also afford to loose anymore time.
 
Well that's a great idea. You can perhaps do a PhD. in Genetics or Cell Biology in the country of your choice. Since most of these countries offer this program in English and the native language, that shouldn't be a problem. Although you would still need IELTS/TOEFL scores to get in (unless English is your first language).

Simultaneously, you could enroll for some language courses offered by university (or other organizations) and work towards conversation fluency (this would also include a course in medical terminology) and also build up contacts with the medical university/hospitals in the country. A Ph.D. typically takes about 3-4 years and if you can hang around for one more year, you can apply for a permanent residence permit which then takes care of the residence permit.

The work permit on the other hand is a lot harder. If you're an EU citizen, it's is a straightforward process. If not, then you have to apply for it and this is usually very hard for non-EU citizens. I guess if you have a good command of English by then, that would really help. If you're already done your post-graduate degree (specialization/residency) in Romania, that would certainly help because post-grads have a better chance of getting in as opposed to medical graduates.

Good luck!
 
Thanks for your prompt answer, i very much appreciate it. How do i go about things do u have any useful addresses i can write to?
 
You're welcome. Well I would first suggest that you narrow down the place where you want to go to because each place has a different language even though the systems might be similar. Once you have that figured out, you can proceed from there.
