Ogarev Mordovia State University

The programme and the setting

The Institute of Medicine at Ogarev Mordovia State University publishes General Medicine in Russian and English. Its medical admissions information lists a six-year course within this multidisciplinary university.

Clinical learning and academic experience

Explore how practical classes, clinical departments and hospital learning are arranged for international students. Medicine sits within a wider research university, offering a different setting from a standalone medical institution.

Teaching language and your qualification

Check the language of lectures, examinations, clinical teaching and internship for the exact route you choose. Russian for patient communication is a separate part of preparation, even where academic teaching is in English. Read the curriculum and language statement together.

If you intend to practise in India, review the current professional requirements early. Our guide to practising in India explains the questions to investigate alongside official NMC and NBEMS information.
