A-gony: Miriam Bourne with her results (Picture: SWNS)

A teenager who got three As in her A-levels may have to move to Romania to study medicine after failing to get a place on a course in Britain.

Miriam Bourne was rejected by all four of the universities she applied to despite her top marks.

She heard about an approved six-year Romanian course at a conference but would need about £60,000 to study there, because she would be ineligible for grants and loans.

‘Studying medicine is competitive and there are a limited number of places but it has been my dream to become a doctor for quite a few years now. It’s really disappointing,’ said the 18-year-old, of Bodmin, Cornwall.


She added: ‘I don’t think I can get enough money on my own to go to Romania but it’s something I am considering.’
