A lot of parents and students have this question about the quality of education and the medical universities education. So, the short and straight answer would be, Yes, Ukraine’s medical universities are indeed good as compared to other universities in countries like China, Russia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Philippines.
As compared with the University is in these countries the universities in Ukraine (well majority of them) which are over 100 years old are for sure much better in terms of the quality of education infrastructure and other facilities that the student receives.
I would also like to tell you that there are 16 medical universities in Ukraine which are approved and listed by MCI. And out of that 90% of the universities are Government Universities (that include both National and State medical universities)
The majority of reputed government medical universities are approx. 100 years old and some of them are even being 200 years old, like Lviv National Medical University, which is more than 200 years old and is one of the oldest universities in Ukraine. Even the remaining private universities in Ukraine are around or over 70 years old. (Will surely tell, why I am quoting the age of the universities and why it is even important!)
Now, that you know about the age of the universities, let me make it clear guys, whenever a medical University is old, it’s obvious that the university would have many batches passed out, high quality of education, excellent infrastructure, well equipped Laboratories, high clinical exposure, and qualified faculty along with some other facilities which are crucial for good academics of the students.
Obviously, you don’t want to get admission in a university which is not competent enough. After all, you all are wishing to become doctors and the field is vast and that needs proper education with practicals and clinical approach. This is why, choosing a good University is equally important.
Apart from that guys, as compared with the other European countries, students get high quality education at comparatively lower cost. Even the cost of living is much lower than the other European nations.
In short, European Standard of education at cheaper budget. Additionally, the degree is valid worldwide because the medical universities in Ukraine are recognized by WHO, MCI, UNESCO and few others.
Why Ukraine is better than Other Popular Countries?
All these factors surely make Ukraine as one of the best countries for MBBS abroad for Indian students.
So, that was about Ukraine and if you will notice that in countries like Russia and China majority of the universities are less than 80-100 years. Countries like Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan does not have high quality of education and it is quite evident. Moreover, in Russia and China there are bilingual universities.
Not all but majority of the Russian and Chinese University have bilingual medical courses. It’s the major drawback of these countries, because studying in a foreign language altogether becomes really hectic for the students and they find it extremely difficult to grasp the knowledge as well.
Keeping these factors in mind, one can imagine the level of education in the Ukrainian medical universities especially the government ones.
Other than that in countries like Philippines there is an NMAT Exam post which the student will be given admission in the MD courses which is equivalent to MBBS courses. In countries like Georgia majority of the universities are comparatively new and private.
Therefore, the medical universities in Ukraine are definitely good for Indian students to study MBBS.
You can take admission in the reputed universities in Ukraine. Even if you are thinking of studying MBBS from other countries then also always keep in mind the parameters that I have mentioned above. This will help you in choosing a good University so that you become a good doctor with a successful career ahead.
There are many popular countries for MBBS abroad for Indian students like Russia, China, Ukraine, Philippines, Kazakhstan and more. These are popular amongst the Indian students because these countries are really in budget to study MBBS there, and fulfil the dream of becoming a doctor.
Every year thousands of students enroll themselves in the medical colleges in Russia. The reason is pretty simple that the universities in Russia are providing affordable MBBS programs, which can be afforded by a lot of Indian students.
But please also note that, there is a catch and being a professional educational consultant, we receive so many queries, where the students have been duped or been provided the wrong information to the students, during the admissions. Now what are those, let me tell you.
The medical universities in Russia are mostly Bilingual and very few of them are Entirely English medium. If you are not aware about bilingual universities then, let me tell you, in bilingual Universities and colleges, the student is taught in English medium for the First 3 years, then the rest of the 3 years in local language, which is Russian.
