As a result of the referendum held on June 23rd, Study Medicine Europe would like to announce:
According to the respective regulatory bodies in the UK (click here to visit the GMC, GDC and RCVS websites), all of our partner universities in Bulgaria and Romania continue to offer degrees recognized by the aforementioned councils.
As the UK tertiary educational system, including study programmes and qualifications, is aligned with that of member states of the EU, as well as of non EU countries such as Switzerland and Norway, a British withdrawal from the European Union would not have an impact on the value of the degrees obtained in these countries. As a result of past intergovernmental and bilateral treaties and conventions among states within and outside the European Union, which do not have the status of EU legislation, comparability in the educational standards and quality of higher qualifications has granted graduates from these countries recognition and equal work opportunities both within and beyond the EU borders.
In other words, graduates from Bulgaria and Romania do not take the PLAB test (for medical graduates) or the ORE test (for dental graduates) upon their return to the UK, not because the United Kingdom is a member of the EU, but simply because there are other agreements and treaties that ensure the quality of their studies and the value of their degrees and that do not come under EU legislation and conditions, such as the Bologna Treaty and the Treaty of Lisbon, among others.
