Saoirse Geary | Erasmus 2024
My time as a medical student on Erasmus in Berlin was an unforgettable experience. During my three-month internship at The Charité I had the opportunity to work in one of Europe's most prestigious medical institutions. This period was not only educational but also enriching on a personal level. I not only gained medical knowledge but also enhanced my intercultural skills and improved my German. Berlin proved to be a fascinating city, offering rich history and culture.
Alexandra Colton | Erasmus 2024
My Erasmus placement in Montpellier was an amazing experience. It encouraged my personal growth and development of my global mindset. There is nothing more rewarding than leaping out of your comfort zone and living in a new country while experiencing a new hospital environment.
Advika Kumar | Erasmus 2024
The three months that I spent in France were some of the most rewarding, fulfilling, and eye-opening months of my medical school experience so far. My time in the French hospital pushed me to be more resilient and confident with regards to patient interactions and clinical skills. This experience really pushed me out of my comfort zone, and I am so glad I chose to partake in it because I came out of it feeling more confident, knowledgeable and accomplished than before. I would highly recommend this Erasmus exchange experience to all other medical students.
