Studying Medicine & Dentistry in Europe Albemarle has a longstanding relationship with a number of prestigious Medical and Dental Schools throughout Europe and we have several alumni who have opted to pursue these professional degree courses at European universities – including Charles University in Prague, Cardenal Herrera University in Valencia, Spain, Iuliu Hatieganu University in Cluj, Romania amongst others. Albemarle does not act as an agent for any of these universities so all of our students can rest assured that they will receive free and impartial advice from us as to the benefits, costs and difficulties of studying in Europe. Having seen alumni graduate and return to the UK to practice Medicine and Dentistry we definitely believe that this is a viable alternative for certain students.
