Kabardino-Balkarian State University

The programme and the setting

H. M. Berbekov Kabardino-Balkarian State University offers a six-year Specialist programme in General Medicine. Its English-language programme information traces the route to 2017. The institution is a broad state university, with medical education delivered through its medical academic structure.

Clinical learning and academic experience

Compare the medical curriculum, clinical teaching locations and practical timetable. The university’s published programme describes foundational study followed by clinical subjects; obtain the current plan rather than assuming an older description applies unchanged 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.
