Medical education in Russia and abroad

The realities of the modern world are changing at a breathtaking speed. Due to the high rates of technological progress, new professions are constantly appearing, at the same time some familiar specialties are disappearing into oblivion.

Not a doctor’s specialty!

No matter how life changes, specialists in the field of medicine will be needed always and everywhere.

This truth is confirmed by the high demand for doctors around the world.

Important!

In the USA and European countries, the doctor is one of the highest paid professions.

High requirements are imposed on doctors: they must be responsible, attentive, with developed analytical abilities and combine love for people with firmness of character, and they will also have to study all their lives.

However, the medical direction includes not only the profession of a doctor, but also related specialties.

Medical admission

To become a doctor, you need to get a higher education, therefore, we consider admission only to universities.

Admission to medical universities in Russia

In Russia, medical education can be obtained at specialized institutes and academies or at medical faculties of universities.

For admission, they pass the exam in the Russian language and in specialized subjects:

• biology,
• chemistry.

Requirements for admission to medical areas in European countries

In Europe, the profession of a doctor is highly paid, and therefore competition for admission to European universities is great.

Relatively inexpensive training in Poland, Hungary, Spain, Italy.

In the Czech Republic, you can study to be a doctor for free, provided that you study in the Czech language.

In Finland, Germany, Norway, students from abroad can study for free, both in English and in the language of the country, but in Germany it is possible to study in medical fields only in German.

What to choose? Pros and cons of admission in Russia and abroad

Many applicants from the CIS consider studying only at home. This view is explained by the lack of information, because of which they are convinced that studying abroad is expensive and incomprehensible.

Meanwhile, abroad, you can not only get a higher education for free, but also enroll in a foreign university may be easier than storming the walls of a prestigious Moscow university.

The advantages of studying in Russia include:

strong theoretical base;

the presence of an experienced teaching staff;

the ability to submit documents to several universities (but their number is limited);

the ability not to leave the country.

Along with these advantages, studying in Russia has a number of disadvantages:

admission through the Unified State Exam creates excessive nervousness, and the content of exams is not coordinated with the school curriculum, which is why even schoolchildren with high academic success may not get enough points;

it is almost impossible to go to the budget in prestigious universities;

high tuition fees for non-budget places;

the constant increase in the cost of training, which makes it difficult to plan expenses for the entire period of study;

abolition of internship and paid residency;

very small scholarships that do not cover the costs.

The advantages of studying abroad:

• the prestige of foreign diploma in Russia;
• admission without the exam;
• the ability to submit documents to several universities at once;
• relatively low prices for studies;
• the opportunity to study for free in Germany, Finland, Norway, Czech Republic;
