The importance of official partnerships with universities
At futuredoctor®, we recognise the importance and responsibility of supporting prospective medical students on their path to their dream degree. Our mission is not only to build a bridge to medical school, but also to ensure that this bridge rests on solid, reliable and high-quality pillars. The official partnership with leading universities in human medicine and dentistry is a centrepiece of our philosophy and commitment. In this article, we discuss what these partnerships mean and why they are invaluable to future female medical students.
The appearance of our badge on the website of a university signals an official partnership between us and the institution in question.
Quality and testing of our partner universities
One of the cornerstones of our partnerships is ensuring high quality standards at the universities. Every university with which we work in official cooperation has been carefully scrutinised and selected. This assessment covers not only academic standards and the quality of the curriculum, but also the infrastructure, support for international students and the recognition of degrees. Our students can be confident that they are studying at an institution that supports and promotes their success.
Recognition of study programmes
A crucial aspect of our partnerships is ensuring that the degrees from our partner universities are fully recognised in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This gives our students the freedom and security to continue their careers in their home country or internationally without having to worry about the validity of their qualifications.
Exclusive collaboration and the latest information
The close cooperation with our partner universities enables us to always receive the latest information on study programmes, changes in admission requirements and innovative research areas. This ensures that our counselling and preparation is up to date and that our students are prepared for their studies in the best possible way.
Joint organisation of entrance examinations
Some of our partner universities organise the entrance exams together with futuredoctor® in Germany and Austria. These exams organised by us offer a unique opportunity for applicants to take their exams in a supportive and familiar environment, making the application process much easier.
Adjusted application deadlines
Through our partnerships, we have the opportunity to arrange our own application deadlines with some of our partner universities. This offers our students flexibility and makes it easier to plan their application process, which is particularly valuable as applying for a degree programme is often perceived as stressful.
Exclusive access through partnerships
Another major advantage of official partnerships with universities is the access we can offer our students at some universities. There are universities where it is not possible for prospective students to apply directly. Although the final selection of applicants is still in the hands of the university, applications can only be submitted through agencies such as futuredoctor®, whereby we also make an initial pre-selection of applicants.
There are several reasons for this approach:
- Quality assurance: By pre-selecting applicants, universities can ensure that they receive applications from candidates who not only fulfil the formal requirements, but also fit well with the university's profile and values.
- Efficiency: Working with specialised agencies such as futuredoctor® enables a more efficient and structured application process, which benefits both the universities and the applicants.
- Personalised support: As an agency, we can offer more intensive and personalised support than would be possible for universities with thousands of applicants. We support each applicant individually and help them prepare for the entrance exams and other requirements of the application process.
Conclusion
The official partnership with universities ensures that every step of the way to medical school and beyond is carefully planned and supported. At futuredoctor® we are proud to offer this service. Our students can rest assured that with the support of futuredoctor® and our partner universities, they are well placed to achieve their academic and professional goals.
