Samara State Medical University

The programme and the setting

Samara’s applicant system lists six-year General Medicine in English. University materials also describe English programmes for international students in dentistry and pharmacy.

Clinical learning and academic experience

The university works in medical cybernetics and digital medicine. For General Medicine, explore how simulation, clinical work and research opportunities connect with the course.

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.
