EDUCATION
IN RUSSIA
FOR FOREIGNERS

Many Indians prefer to study medicine in Russia, since higher education institutions in this country have a high level of education combined with affordable tuition fees.

According to report by the Higher School of Economics, in the beginning of 2016 there were 237,000 foreign students in Russian universities, making up 5% of the student body. Medicine is one of the areas that enjoys a high demand among Indian students.

Russian medical schools enjoy great popularity among countries in the former Soviet Union, as well as in China, India, Vietnam, and a number of other countries. The high level of education and the affordable fees attract foreigners.

Important distinguishing characteristics of Russian medical schools are that foreign students can participate in scientific research, and that during their practice they can communicate with patients. It is true that they need to know Russian well to do this, so they pay particular attention to studying the language.

In India, being a doctor is one of the most prestigious professions. In addition, life in India is a lot less expensive than in Russia. But in order to work as a doctor in India after graduating from a Russian medical school, it is necessary for someone to substantiate his qualifications by passing a special examination. Those who can handle it then get permission to do an internship.
