MD (Doctor of Medicine) - Batch of 2023

4.6

Good campus, lecture hall and a vast library.

Tips: I've had an excellent educational experience so far. The school has provided lots of academic opportunities, plus there are collaborations with international students and student clubs. The student life is great. We attend classes, sports, and chill. There's an international student club. They were looking for a chairman or an international student coordinator. I really didn't experience any discrimination. They really welcome everyone. I like the level of involvement between students and teachers. Call centre jobs are very manageable. You can find one for 10 dollars per hour, and jobs can be found after classes. With a little time management, this is a good option if you're looking to earn some extra money while earning a degree. The pay of 10 dollars per hour with a minimum of 20 hours a week is decent, and you can pick up some knowledge along the way. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Great college with great atmosphere.

Tips: Before joining Kharkiv National University, students should be aware of the full curriculum outline and the state examinations. The Ukrainian Ministry of Health will conduct medical exams after the completion of the third year, and only after passing these exams can you proceed to your fourth year. The climate in Ukraine may not be suitable for everyone. I have a part-time job, which is great, but the language barrier can be challenging as 70% of the people in Ukraine do not speak English. It has also been challenging to find a part-time job that fits with the full-time schedule required at a university with an MD degree program. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.

Likes (Value for money): Kharkiv National University is one of the top universities in Ukraine. They provide high-quality education, offer good infrastructure, and use updated technologies. They even have experienced teachers and special programs to prepare students for challenging exams like the USMLE and AMC.

How is VN Karazin Kharkiv National Medical University for MBBS in Ukraine? I am planning to go there. Will I have a better future there?

Answered 5 years ago

Firstly, I am not an agent, but I know that the agent will tell you that it will be taught in complete English, but it will not. And, the next thing is that you have to study there by your own, if you want admission. Colleges in Ukraine are not very good.
