Privolzhsky Research Medical University

The programme and the setting

Privolzhsky publishes English programmes in General Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy. It is the institution historically associated with the Nizhny Novgorod State Medical Academy name, distinct from Lobachevsky University.

Clinical learning and academic experience

The university describes links with clinical hospitals and research opportunities. Distinguish short research internships from the clinical training required within the degree.

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.
