Frequently Asked Questions
Plain answers to the questions students ask most. Every answer links to the tool or page where you can check the details yourself.
What is EuroMedGuide?
A free guide for Canadian and American students who want to study Medicine, Dentistry, or Pharmacy in Europe. It compares 271 verified programs across 37 countries using official university sources, and gives you tools to shortlist, compare costs, and plan applications.
Is the information real and up to date?
Every public program page is built from official university sources, and each record shows when it was last verified. Where something is not confirmed for the current cycle, the page says so instead of guessing. Always reconfirm dates and fees on the linked official page before paying anything.
How much does studying medicine in Europe cost?
It varies a lot by country and university, so EuroMedGuide shows the exact published tuition for each program along with its official source. Use the cost calculator to add city living costs and build a full yearly budget for any program on the site.
Are the programs taught in English?
The catalog focuses on English-taught routes for international students. Each program page states the teaching language exactly as the university publishes it, including any local-language requirements for hospital placements in later years.
Do I need an entrance exam?
Many European universities run their own entrance exams, often in biology and chemistry, while others select on grades or interviews. Each program page lists the selection method word-for-word from the official source, so you know exactly what that university asks for.
When are the application deadlines?
The Application Center has a deadline board with the published 2026-2027 application windows, closing dates, and exam sessions for every verified program, each linked to its official source page.
Can I practice in Canada or the USA after studying in Europe?
It is possible, but it takes planning from day one. You would return as an international medical graduate, which means licensing exams and competitive matching. The Pathways page explains the steps and the warnings to check before choosing a program.
How does the AI matcher work?
You fill in a short profile — programs, budget, preferences — and the matcher builds a research plan using only the verified program catalog on this site. It never invents schools, fees, or odds. It needs a free account so your profile and saved plans stay with you.
How do I compare two programs?
Open the Compare tool, pick any programs from the catalog, and see tuition, duration, requirements, and deadlines side by side. You can also save programs to your shortlist from any program page.
Which programs are covered?
Medicine (141 programs), Dentistry (59), and Pharmacy (71) — 271 verified program records in total. New programs are added once their official source details are verified.
