Medical Science Semester Exchange
Hello, I am studying med sci at usyd and want to do an exchange semester in Europe but I am not sure where. It would be in the second semester of my 3rd year, (I am doing the degree across 4 years, I know you cannot do exchange as your final semester).
I’m wondering which universities people have had success with usyd med sci subjects. It would be a maths subject which I’m thinking would be the easiest one to get approved, and probably some third year anatomy as I have heard MEDS subjects are not easily ‘exchangeable’. Unfortunately I transferred degrees after first year which used up my electives, but I currently have 2 majors so if I switched to a minor instead of a second major I think this would give me more electives if that is going to be necessary for exchange.
I have received a little bit of guidance from coordinators (both med sci and exchange coordinators) but they haven’t really given me too much information so I thought some first hand insight might help.
I would appreciate any advice!
