Premedical Course graduate’s opinion:

I find the Premed Course so useful for people who want to enter the main course.We learnt many stuff related to human body and anatomy. We learnt many adjectives and verbs which we use alot for medical subjects. You may not find these words important or even useful in daily English but for medical issues they are important. Another useful thing about the course was getting used to the city and the situation. We knew many more stuff about transportation and the locations. We also had some courses which were repeated in 1st year and it was easy for us to handle it. In my opinion, the most important thing about the course was learning Polish. I can confess that I did not have any problem for Polish in 1st year, the first semester was completely revision and the second was much easier for us who have been through Premed Course. In Premed, we learnt much more of Polish for daily life and it was so useful for having connection with people. In conclusion, I think the premed course can be so useful for people who are not familiar with studying abroad and have problems with their English. It may not be necessary but it’s so useful for passing the 1st year.
