The programme and the setting
Altai’s current admissions information describes General Medicine taught in English from the first through sixth years. The Institute of Clinical Medicine lists a six-year, full-time programme.
Clinical learning and academic experience
The development plan states that a full English-language route has operated since 2023. Older bilingual descriptions should therefore be compared with the exact curriculum offered to your intake.
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.
Admissions and preparation
The foreign-student section lists Chemistry and Biology computer testing in English. Use the current calendar for the standard or additional admission round.
- Start with your school or university transcripts and passport details.
- Identify the exact programme, language route and intended intake.
