The specific exams you'll need to take can vary significantly depending on the university and the major you're interested in.
For some programs, you might need to pass an online test, while for others, an online interview could be in store. Take, for example, the "General Medicine" program at Sechenov University. Candidates are required to complete an online chemistry test and an oral interview to assess their proficiency in Russian or English (effective from 2024).
Looking to apply to the Saint-Petersburg State Pediatric University? Prepare for online interviews in chemistry, biology, and either Russian or English, depending on the language of instruction.
Good news! Since 2020, all exams have moved online. There’s no need to travel to Russia; you can complete everything from the comfort of your home.
