Applying to Dental Schools abroad in 2026

When: Monday 30 June, 5:00pm

Dentistry is without doubt the hardest subject in which to get a place at UK university. This has been our busiest year ever in helping aspiring dentists and their parents. In this webinar, we will give an overview of all the options in Europe and the advantages and disadvantages of the options most popular with British students. As we work with nearly all Spanish dental schools and regularly place nearly 100 students a year in that country, Spain will be our main focus, but we will also discuss Cyprus, Central and Eastern Europe.

Applying to Medical and Veterinary Schools abroad in 2026 (and last-minute places in 2025)

When: Wednesday 2 July, 5:00pm

For this webinar, we will be joined by representatives from European University Cyprus who offer degrees in Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, fully taught in English. They also have a campus in Frankfurt, Germany for medicine.

We will focus on the key questions students should be asking before considering studying abroad. There is a lot of information available online and much of it is contradictory. We will aim to ensure that your students go into their research with a clear understanding of what is important and what is possible when studying medicine and veterinary medicine abroad. European University Cyprus will be on hand to provide their perspective.
