  International Medicine Studies
Ormonde Business School, in association with International Medicine Studies, is the sole provider, in Ireland and UK, of a PreMed Preparation Course, leading towards the entrance examinations of a portfolio of European Universities.

Who are International Medicine Studies?

International Medical Services [IMS] are a leading international educational consortium that has built relationships, on behalf of international students, with a portfolio of European Universities. The universities that comprise this portfolio will only accept international students on its programmes through the channel of IMS. IMS will manage your application to your chosen university and will provide ongoing support services to you, during the years that you are studying for your degree. See their website www.medstudy.org

What is the PreMed Course at Ormonde Business School?

Though it is not obligatory, you might choose to do the PreMed course at Ormonde Business School, run in both London and Tullamore, in preparation for the Entrance Examinations for the following European Universities:

- Pavol Jozef Safarik University, Kosice

- University of Veterinary Science, Brno

- Warsaw University of Life Sciences

The course will revise your knowledge in Biology and Chemistry, at a level equivalent to Leaving Certificate/A. Level. On the final day of the course, you will sit an Entrance Exam, set by the above Universities, for entrance to their degree programmes in Medicine, Veterinary Science and Dentistry. The course is run as an intensive course, either over Easter, or in July.

When and Where Are the Entrance Examinations?

There are two sets of exams run every year: the next entrance exam dates are in April and August 2010. Exams are sat in both Ireland [Tullamore ] and the UK [London]. You will know your examination results within 4 weeks of siting the examination.

What Can I Do, if I Pass the Entrance Examinations?

When you successfully pass your examination, we will then assist you in applying to join a degree programme leading to one of the following qualifications: - Doctor of General Medicine - Doctor of Veterinary Medicine - Doctor of Dental Medicine You will usually know if you´ve been accepted by this university within a period of four to six weeks. From the moment of your acceptance on one of the above degree programmes, you are on route to a career of your dreams.

I Suppose I Need high Leaving Cert or ´A´ Level Points to Get on these degree programmes?

No, surprisingly you don´t. Anyone who has passed six subjects at Leaving Certificate, including two honours, or 3 ´A´ Levels. is eligible for the above programmes, provided they have also passed the entrance examination.

Are These Degrees Recognised in Ithe UK and Ireland?

Absolutely. As degrees from a University in the European Union, they are recognised, for professional purposes, in Ireland, by: - The Medical Council of Ireland - The General Medical Council [England & Wales] - The Veterinary Council of Ireland - The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons - Irish Dental Association

But, I Don´t Understand Polish!

That´s OK! All of the programmes for International Students are taught through the medium of English. English language textbooks are also available in the university libraries. However, as part of your course at university, there is tuition in Polish or Slovak, to help you integrate with a community beyond the body of international students.

How Long Are The University Programmes?

The programmes are 6 years long, though students with relevant BSc degrees maybe exempted from 1 or 2 years of some programmes.

Fees

The fee for the PreMed course is €1250 and the universities charge a combined application/examination fee of €165. The university course fees are €6500pa for Veterinary Science and €8500pa for Medicine.
