+ Admission
  • Both EU and non-EU students can apply for the medicine and dentistry programmes at Ukrainian medical universities.
+ Is Graduate Entry offered?
  • Graduate entry is not permitted in Ukraine as local medical universities refuse to recognise non-Ukrainian Bachelor’s degrees due to the major differences between the study programmes of the medicine course and the foreign Bachelor’s degree. So, Ukrainian medical transcripts cannot include subjects that have been studied in a Bachelor’s degree.
