+  What is the 6-Year Undergraduate Medicine Course?
  • Medicine is a 6-year course and is taught exclusively through English.
  • Course class groups consist of about 8-10 students, ensuring an excellent student-teacher ratio.
  • The medicine programme brings together different fundamental and clinical disciplines.
  • In the second and third year of their studies, students will gain practical experience in patient care through clinical studies.
  • The university actively encourages medical students to participate in academic mobility programmes, international conferences, summer international practice and volunteering.
+ Is Online Study offered?
+ Is Graduate Entry Offered?
  • In Ukraine, graduate entry is not permitted since local medical universities refuse to recognise non-Ukrainian Bachelor’s degrees due to significant differences in the study programmes of the medicine course and the foreign BSc degree. So Ukrainian medical transcripts cannot include subjects that were studied in a Bachelor’s degree.
