What our students say

"For all those considering going to medical schools listed with M&D Europe be assured in being given a first-class service and excellent support in gaining a place at medical school. I was helped all along at every stage, through the telephone and email in achieving a place at SMU beginning in Jan 2007. The staff as usual were always at hand, extremely friendly and helpful even at difficult times. I would recommend them to anyone.

My 5 weeks spent at Albion College in Holborn to complete prerequisites for SMU was excellent. I was very impressed with its setup and especially its staff who were very friendly, supportive, and helpful. The teaching was exceptional and altogether made my experience at the college memorable."

"I'd recommend this course to anyone serious about Medicine. It's very useful and the support given to us to secure a place at medical school is great! The programme opens up many opportunities, both in the UK and abroad and sets you well on your way to a successful career in medicine whatever your academic background may be!"

"I would highly recommend this Pre-Med Programme to anyone who has been unsuccessful in getting a medical school place. The course really prepares and increases your chances of securing a place. All involved are really helpful and provide all kinds of useful training and advice about different opportunities that you would have otherwise not known about. You are offered a medical place at SMU on the Cayman Islands before you start anyway, that's what appealed to me. Very highly recommended."

"The Pre-med program at University of Sussex has proven a lifeline to many applicants previously unsuccessful in gaining a place at medical schools in the UK, and indeed around the world. A truly in-depth coverage of the biological, chemical and physical sciences, as well as the unique seminar course in the third term titled 'Health, A matter of National Concern', have helped to confirm my desire to study medicine. In addition to providing provisional acceptance to SMU, the course is increasingly being viewed positively by a UK medical schools for undergraduate applicants. Backed by excellent student support and an easy-going atmosphere, the multi-lingual, multicultural international scene on campus is remarkable, and homesickness goes right out the window from day one! In a nutshell, the University of Sussex on the south coast gets the best weather in England, has a superb nightlife, and is simply THE place to meet new people and forge life-long friendships. Oh and while you're at it, don't forget to do well in class to qualify for the next year at medical school."

"My year on the M&D Pre-med Programme provided me with a strong foundation for the subjects I have encountered at St. Matthews University, School of Medicine. I thoroughly enjoyed all the subjects at SMU from physiology to behavioural science. Grand Cayman is a wonderful island, with people from all different areas of the world; it's a real learning experience I feel everyone should go through.

I am aiming to go through clinical rotations both in the UK and the US, due to the fact that M&D Pre-med offers everyone an opportunity to gain medical experience both outside and inside the United Kingdom. I am glad I entered this programme and whether you study Medicine in England or on Cayman Islands, your success depends on the effort you put in and the knowledge you gain and the M&D Pre-med left me very well prepared."

"The M&D Pre Med year in Sussex provided me with an excellent foundation for my medical career. I found the year was highly beneficial and enabled me to successfully complete my basic sciences at St Matthews University, Grand Cayman. Upon finishing my basic sciences I carried out my clinical rotations in Whipps Cross University Hospital, Leytonstone, London. I would highly recommend this career path to anyone interested in perusing a medical career."

"The Pre-Medical programme definitely offers opportunities for many applicants formerly unsuccessful in gaining a place at a UK medical school. As a really intensive course that covers chemistry and biology in-depth, it is recognised by a number of UK medical schools. Impressive student support and approachable academic staff are the two key elements of the programme that benefit students. The University of Sussex, located on the south coast, enjoys the best weather in the UK. The multicultural international atmosphere in such a beautiful campus was something that I really liked about the course. However, do not forget to work hard to qualify for the next year at medical school."

"The M&D Pre-Med at Sussex has provided me with an ideal opportunity to secure a place at a British or an overseas medical school. The course has given me a chance to experience life at university, which has been challenging yet very enjoyable, which is excellent preparation for when I begin medical school. Before I started the course, my options were to either re-take my 'A/AS' levels or embark on a three-year science degree, or to just not apply to medical school at all. This course has not only saved me a lot of time, but as the focus is on Medicine - has led to UK medical schools viewing my application far more positively. It is an imperative consideration for those students who have been unsuccessful in their application to any UK medical school."

"I feel the M&D Pre-Med has allowed me to appreciate a challenging course at university level, hence opening doors within the medical profession, whilst experiencing the scenic location of Brighton and the most of a university life."

"My year on the M&D Pre-Med Programme provided me with a strong foundation for the subjects I have encountered at St. Matthews University, School of Medicine. At SMU, many of my classmates are from the U.S. and are more advanced in age and experience and they all have a science degree. Despite this, the knowledge I acquired from pre med did not leave me feeling inadequate. I thoroughly enjoyed all the subjects at SMU from physiology to behavioral science.
Grand Cayman is a wonderful island, with people from all different areas of the world; it’s a real learning experience I feel everyone should go through. In addition to that each student will spend a semester on the Miami campus, taking introduction to clinical medicine and being given the chance to take the US Medical Licensing Exam in order to work in The States.

"Due to the M&D, I have spent 2 semesters at St Matthew’s University School of Medicine, and I would recommend it to anyone who is considering going. The M&D staff were incredible and processed my application quickly and answered all the questions I had, so I was fully aware of what I was going to be heading towards.
Every second I have spent on the island has been amazing. I have been pushed into the deep-end, studying subjects like Gross Anatomy, Neuroscience and Pathology with an intense focus on clinical applications. The basic science years are difficult – but there is a wonderful, caring faculty supporting you every step of the way. The small population of students is advantageous; you have a home-away-from-home with many people from different walks of life who ultimately are there for the same reason as you – to study hard in order to practice Medicine! The island is absolutely stunning – and you would be surprised at how easy studying becomes when you are overlooking a bright blue sky and sea.
M&D offers its students great opportunities like studying clinical rotations both in the UK and US. I fully plan to take advantage of this, as I think it will open so many doors for my future as a Doctor. M&D offer great opportunities to those who are ready for a life-long learning in Medicine."
