Medicine Study Abroad Programs in Western Europe

The MD Pre-Clinical programme at New Anglia University has been a very valuable part of my medical education so far. They do whatever is necessary to build a proper understanding of the basic medical sciences before moving further into clinical training. What I like is that the subjects are not treated as completely separate areas of study. As you progress it becomes easier to see how the different topics relate to each other and how they contribute to understanding the human body and disease. Another aspect I have found useful is the introduction to clinical reasoning and medical concepts at an early stage. It gives more context to the scientific material and makes studying it feel more relevant. Instead of only focusing on remembering information for exams, there is more emphasis on understanding the concepts and being able to apply what you have learned to medical situations. The programme has also required me to become much more organised with my studying. Keeping up with the material takes consistency and independent work, which I think is good preparation for the demands of the later stages of medical school. Although there have been difficult topics and periods where the workload felt quite intense, I have noticed a real improvement in both my understanding and confidence since starting. Overall, I feel that the MD Pre-Clinical programme is giving me a solid academic base and a better idea of what to expect as I continue my medical training.

I’ve been enjoying the MD Pre-Clinical programme at New Anglia University so far. The workload can be a lot sometimes, but I feel like I am getting a much better understanding of the subjects rather than just memorising everything. I also like that we are introduced to clinical topics early on because it makes the science more interesting and easier to relate to medicine.

Starting the MD Pre-Clinical programme at NAU has made me feel much more confident about continuing into medicine. The workload is definitely demanding, but I feel like I am learning a lot from it. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who wants to have a thorough knowledge of medicine and wants to become a certified doctor.

Forum-Nexus was a wonderful experience, and I would rate it 9/10. I loved traveling to so many places, meeting new people, and learning through the classes and professional visits. The program was well balanced, and the staff were supportive and helpful. I especially enjoyed the independent cultural visits and the opportunity to experience different cities. Some professional visits, such as Heineken, felt a little long, and the Paris hotel was not ideal. Overall, I learned a lot, made great memories, and would definitely recommend Forum-Nexus to others.

The classes have been really enjoyable and engaging. Doing my MD pre-clinical now! The content is interesting, and the way everything is presented makes it much easier to stay focused and involved throughout the programme.

My experience with New Anglia University has been very positive so far.

I have also found the academic content engaging and appropriately structured, which has made it easier to stay focused and motivated. The communication from the university has been professional and timely, and I have always felt that support is available when I need it. Overall, I appreciate the combination of organisation, accessibility and academic focus that the university provides. My experience so far has given me confidence in my decision, and I am looking forward to progressing further with my studies at New Anglia University.

My experience with New Anglia University has been lovely so far. The team has been kind, helpful and always willing to provide clear information whenever I need it. Super excited to continue my studies!

My time in Italy was one of the most amazing, life-changing, and enjoyable experiences I have ever had. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to visit Italy for the first time, especially since it was also my first time flying on an airplane. I loved how affordable the program was for everything that was included. We traveled throughout Central Italy, enjoyed amazing food and accommodations, and were guided by caring faculty and tour guides who truly wanted us to have the best experience possible. This trip gave me unforgettable memories, new friendships, and experiences that I will always be grateful for.

I had an unforgettable time in Italy with Molise Italian Studies. It was my first time visiting a country outside of the United States, so I was a little worried at first. However, the program was so well run and smooth that I soon had no worries whatsoever. Our guide, Andrea, was excellent and our trip would not have been what it was without him. I would highly recommend Molise Italian Studies to any one who is interested in Italian culture, history, or exploring another country.

My study abroad experience to Italy was incredible. I had met so many new amazing people and new connections. Our tour guide, Andrea, was very helpful, patient, and kind throughout the whole trip. I am very grateful to be chosen to attend this trip.

I’ve had a very positive experience with New Anglia University so far. The services have been helpful and well organized, and I’ve always felt supported whenever I needed assistance. Overall, I’m very happy with my experience and would definitely recommend the university to others.

My time with WorldStrides in Salamanca was incredible. Prior to my departure, I received consistent communication and advice about my time abroad. Once there, I spent time with an amazing host family that truly immersed me in the language and lived right in the middle of the city. The University itself was a wonderful source of global learning with students from all across the world. Throughout my time there, the WorldStrides team in Salamanca supported me every step of the way, offering assistance and support with any questions I had. My month in Spain was the time of my life, largely due to WorldStrides!

I was very very hesitant on applying and even once I got accepted I was very skeptical about joining BUT I truly had the best time ever! Getting to experience different clinics around Athens was an amazing and the PTs were truly the best! We started out strangers but once it was time to end it was the hardest see you later ever! Best directors ever too!!!

My experience studying abroad in Molise Italy was absolutely life-changing. I learned so much about culture, made lifetime, friendships, and endless memories. Getting to experience the culture and beauty of Molise was the absolute highlight of my summer.

Grazie, Breanna! Colli really is beautiful and it's such a great partnership!

The Molise Italian Studies program was a wonderful way to be immersed in the Molise region, some of the Puglia region, and Rome. By visiting some of the smaller, lesser-known areas in these regions, I got to see firsthand how people live, work, and support their communities through the activities and social work experiences. I can say I grew as a person and have a new outlook on my everyday life at home. It was evident that Italians in these regions value community and connection. I appreciated the opportunities to participate in activities at some of the agencies, such as at LAI and in Capracotta, rather than simply observing the activity. Our tour leader, Andrea, was kind, patient, organized, and knowledgeable throughout the entire trip.

I had an absolutely amazing time; I made so many incredible memories that I truly won't ever forget. The friendships I made were so awesome, and the opportunities to experience true culture were life-changing. Both of my professors were absolutely wonderful, and our guide was incredible. Everyone was so amazing and truly tried their best to give us the most rewarding experience possible, and they exceeded my dreams.

Grazie, Alex!

Myself and my colleague brought a group of ten university students on a trip with Molise, and we could not be happier! Our guides were knowledgeable and kind. Every single person we encountered along the way as we traveled was welcoming and gracious. So many laughs were shared amongst our students and the Italian community, and we never once felt as if we were not in steady, capable hands with the company. Upon returning home from Italy, we immediately arranged our next trip with Scott and Megan, and plan to continue this trip regularly to allow students to continue to experience all the amazing things our first group did.

Thank you, Jen! Looking forward to working with Wilkes again in 2027!

As a student who dreamed of going abroad for years, I never considered a trip like this would be at my fingertips. Many know that traveling abroad is a big decision because it involves location costs return of investment and with being in school of the timeline of when it’s going to happen. I decided to make my minor Hotel restaurant management sophomore year of college, but wasn’t sure of how I was still going to make my broad dream come true. Fall semester of 2024 when I was in one of my HRM studies I wondered what options there could be to study the subject abroad. That’s when I discovered the Molise Italian Studies program NAU in Italy: Economics of Gastronomy. After promptly siding up, I was introduced to a fully guided program with pre-arrival meetings that fully explained the details and necessary precautions of going abroad. Which included an itinerary of the daily activities the lessons that would be focused on and places of accommodation. All details, which transferred extremely well into the actual trip. Each lesson was fully in depth and offered different opportunities. My favorite day was probably the day we visited Di Iorio Tartufi - Italian Truffle where we learned how truffles were safely found and made into a meal. I came home with at least 5 jars!! I highly enjoyed the environment, the greenery, and absolutely the delicious assortment of truffle products. At the end of the day, this program offered me a week of excitement and verity of locations across molise. I couldn’t have asked for a better program to introduce me to the world of traveling.

Grazie, Cialyn! So glad to be a part of your HRM journey (& we dream of truffles too)!

I had a pretty great semester at UL. I thoroughly enjoyed the classes and the professors, but also learned a lot about myself and the Irish people. I joined the Christian Union pretty early on and was welcomed into fellowship with that group. I accompanied some friends of that group into smaller towns I may not have otherwise visited and helped lead churches playing piano. I was welcomed into homes and I really felt loved. I also got to see much of the countryside and felt it easy to travel around to sight see. My time in Ireland is a time where I grew in knowing myself but also my understanding of the world. I loved learning Irish traditions, culture, and history, and I know that I could never know nearly as much by staying home.
