MEPhI: Obninsk campus

The programme and the setting

National Research Nuclear University MEPhI offers a six-year General Medicine Specialist programme through its Obninsk Institute for Nuclear Power Engineering, known as IATE. Its international programme information describes an English-language route. This profile and its fees apply to Obninsk, not the Moscow campus.

Clinical learning and academic experience

Medical study takes place within a wider scientific and technical institution. Ask about the programme’s clinical bases, practical training and relationship with the institute’s scientific environment, while keeping the requirements of your future medical qualification central.

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 published international route identifies Chemistry and Biology entrance assessments. Confirm the current application calendar and language arrangements, and ensure your offer and accommodation documents both name Obninsk.

• Start with your school or university transcripts and passport details.
• Identify the exact programme, language route and intended intake.

Accommodation and life in Obninsk

Obninsk is a separate city in the Kaluga region. A flight to Moscow is only one stage of the journey; confirm onward transport, residence check-in and university registration.

Confirm the room-sharing arrangement, kitchen and laundry access, residence rules and the journey to class. Discuss dietary needs and first-night accommodation before you travel.
