Graduate Entry Medicine

byell

Hiya,
So i'm considering entering GEM in Ireland a year from September. The course looks amazing and i really want to do it but i'm finding it hard to find current information on where to get loans that cover the fees? (I'm looking at the University of Limerick Course). Any help on where to find information on these loans would be greatly appreciated.
Also, the thought of debt that big as soon as i'd enter intern year scares the living daylights out of me...is it really possible to pay it back over the course of the first 10 years working? I don;t know much about intern salaries etc.

Please and thank you

I think you may have to speak with a bank regarding a student loan. AFAIK, AIB used to do loans for this particular course.

Best of luck to you.

I thought GEM was approx €10,000 p/a ?

A loan of €10,000 wouldn't be much help in that case if you're still stuck without €30,000 to do the course !
