Outgoing University of Sydney elective students & staff to Dresden (Dec 2007-Feb 2008)
The University of Sydney’s Medical Faculty exchange partnership with Carl Gustav Carus Faculty of Medicine, University of Technology Dresden is supported by the DAAD in Germany. Staff are eligible for some financial support towards living expenses during exchange placements in Germany. The Dresden exchange program is different to many of the others available to students as it provides the opportunity for substitute rotations with up to 16 weeks on placement in Dresden.
In 2007, Keiran Tuck and James Postle undertook their Child & Adolescent Health Rotation in Dresden. Students interested in spending part of their fourth year under this scheme must be fluent German speakers. For further information, visit the Dresden Medical School website.
