Norway | Growing competition and limited medical school seats in countries like Norway are forcing many students to look abroad for their education. One Norwegian student, rejected at home, eventually found success studying medicine in Slovakia and is now completing the fourth year at UPJS in Košice. The student says moving to Eastern Europe became a life-changing decision after struggling to secure admission locally. Stories like this are increasingly common as students across Europe search for affordable and accessible alternatives to pursue medical careers despite repeated rejection from universities in their home countries.
