Pirogov University

The programme and the setting

Pirogov publishes a six-year General Medicine programme with a Practical Medicine profile. Its international offering includes English and Russian routes, alongside dentistry, pharmacy and biomedical disciplines.

Clinical learning and academic experience

The programme introduces skills in a simulation centre before clinical work in Moscow hospitals. Ask which facilities and supervised placements form part of your specific route.

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 2026 international material lists Chemistry and Biology examinations in English for the Practical Medicine route. Course start dates differ between profiles, so use the relevant programme calendar.

• Start with your school or university transcripts and passport details.
• Identify the exact programme, language route and intended intake.
• Confirm the admission tests and required document formalities.
• Review the offer, contract and payment schedule before arranging travel.

Accommodation and life in Moscow

Plan around the university area on Ostrovityanova Street and the locations used for clinical learning. A capital-city experience works best with a manageable daily commute.

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.
