Hey guys, I hope i am right here :P
As the title already indicates I plan to study in England/Uk. More precisely medicine. I know it's hard to get there but I definitely want to give it a go. Alongside that i still have some questions open, but first of all something about me :) I am 17 years old and from Germany, but half-English ( my dad is English, that's why there is this connection to UK) and i visit the 11th graded in boarding school. Now, I've got an average of 2.2 on my reports , which i can sure raise to 1,9 the next year. But in Germany 1.9 is still not enough to get place for medicine. No my hope is England :D Now the problem is i have missed out to take chemistry and physics along and dropped those subjects. This might sound strange but the idea of studying medicine and becoming a doctor came up just last year when i did a social work-experience in hospital which i really enjoyed. Just the smile on the peoples face as "Thank you " made me feel better and happy. I don't why know but i really like to help people and i find myself often in the situation that i am the first one to offer help to strangers ( that does not mean my friends are unfriendly ;) Can i study medicine without having chemistry and physics counting for my Abitur ( A-Levels) . Just to let you know , i take biology as A-level. Now i am scared that the dream of studying medicine in England is over. Just recently i found something about such "foundation years". Can anyone tell me about them? Has anyone already got some experience? And most important , am i able to sign myself into such course with Abitur/A-Level ? I have chosen the universities Bristol, Manchester, Newcastle , Edinburgh or Dundee where I want to apply to and where i want to study. ( They offer such foundation years / pre-med ). I also heard that in England not only the grades in school are important , but also the attitude and character of the person. Until the time i get my abitur i will have completed 2 work-experiences in hospital and worked 2 years voluntarily as paramedic in my school ( alongside my normal school classes ) . Do you reckon i have got a chance of applying to either one of the universities ? Pleas help me answering those questions :) Have a nice evening lads, greets sandwich
