We offer sufficient medical curriculum as well so that our graduates are successful doctors. Our Pharmacy programme is designed to prepare specialists for the drug development industry. 

Available contract places:

The subjects are taught in Russian (NB! We do not offer MD or Pharmacy programmes in English). However, after reading this text many applicants still ask if we have MD or Pharmacy in English. The answer is: we do not offer MD or Pharmacy programs in English.
