RUDN University

The programme and the setting

RUDN’s official General Medicine page describes a six-year, full-time Specialist programme taught in English through the Institute of Medicine. It outlines foundational subjects and later clinical learning. Use that programme page as the starting point for a current, intake-specific discussion.

Clinical learning and academic experience

A multidisciplinary environment can offer contact with students from many fields. For your medical decision, ask how the Institute of Medicine handles teaching, practical work, assessment and support. Then look at how accommodation and transport fit into life in a large city.

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

Use the current international admissions rules for your programme. Confirm the entrance subjects, examination language, dates and required document translations with the university.

• 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

In a large city, the university name does not tell you where all of your teaching will happen. Compare the residence, institute buildings and likely clinical sites. Map the practical journey before judging an accommodation option purely by its monthly price.

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.

Questions for your shortlist

• Which clinical sites are used, and how are placements scheduled?
• How much travel is involved between residence and teaching locations?
• What Russian-language preparation supports patient communication?
• What is the complete fee and accommodation schedule for my intake?
