MBBS in Russia, explained before you apply
We are building a practical guide for students from India and other countries who plan to study medicine in Russia in English: which universities to consider, what the course really costs, how admission works and what life looks like for six years.
What this site will cover
Russian medical universities train thousands of international students every year, and many of them return home to practise. Getting there safely depends on choosing a programme that your home medical regulator will recognise.
The full site is in progress. Until it goes live, you can find our study-abroad guidance at Edumapple.
