Preparation for Medicine in the UK

More and more students are interested in the opportunity to study Medicine abroad. This highly attractive university programme requires a specialized preparation in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and/or Mathematics. Zlatarski International School allows its students taking the international programmes (International Baccalaureate/A Levels) to study these subjects and thus to prepare for Medicine in the United Kingdom, the USA and Germany.

The curriculum is taught entirely in English and a large proportion of the practical assignments take place in the school laboratory, which is especially equipped according to international programme standards. The making is done by external examiners, which ensures the objective results in the exams. This way students at Zlatarski School have a much greater change in applying to study Medicine at university. The intensive programme in grades 11 and 12 in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and/or Mathematics prepares students according to international standards.

The established university applications centre for the UK at Zlatarski School (UCAS) prepares students for the requirements of different universities, and great emphasis is placed on the preparation of the motivation application essay, as well as the required admissions tests for entry into medicine. Zlatarski School already has established contacts with the most prestigeous universities in the UK. The fact that our graduates have already gained places in these universities, gives additional weight and legitimacy to our students applications.

Medicine is one of the most rigorous university programmes. Therefore students should be exceptionally motivated in order to complete their studies successfully. Despite the intensive schedule, the programme at Zlatarski School allows ambitious students to receive an adequate preparation and international qualifications in addition to their Bulgarian diplomas.
