Study abroad
You will be encouraged to do part of your master's programme abroad. This can be a clinical rotation in the first or second year of the programme or a taking part in research or patient care in the final year. Although it is not obligatory to study abroad, the majority of the students choose to do so.| 2005-2006 | 2006-2007 | 2007-2008 | 2008-2009 | 2009-2010 | |
