WHY STUDY MBBS IN RUSSIA?
Some of the many advantages of choosing to study in Russia are:
Diverse Study Opportunities

POCKET-FRIENDLY LIVING
Compared to European quality, the cost of living in Russia is very reasonable. The country maintains a minimum average level for food, rent, clothing and other daily and leisure costs. Students can benefit from additional discounts at theatres, museums, operas, cinemas, swimming pools and other similar establishments.
SAFETY AND SECURITY
Russia ranks high on the world safety index, so it promises safety not only for locals and tourists, but also for international students. Both girls and boys can travel freely and safely. Russian universities also have 24×7 surveillance on campus, at dormitory gates, etc.
GET TO KNOW THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE
Although many Russian universities offer an English language programme, students are more likely to learn Russian and become familiar with the language. If students choose to study this language, Russian as a second language in itself promises a wide range of opportunities in different fields.
EASY-GOING AND ACCEPTING LOCALS
Russian culture and the local population are very welcoming and accommodating to international students. As a result, students tend to adapt and adjust easily to their new environment.
