Student finance only funds short term education abroad, however there is no help offered to students who would like to study a substantial degree that lasts more than a year abroad. There are many students who cannot study medicine in the uk so they have to resort to going to europe to pursue their dream, before returning to the uk and giving back to the nhs. The majority of uk students who study abroad go on to study medicine or dentistry in eastern europe, there are many courses offered in english tailored for uk students. The government should consider funding some of the universities who teach in english abroad.
