Which courses does Uzhhorod National University teach in English?

UzhNU lists three medical programmes in English for foreign students (UzhNU study programmes in English). Medicine sits in the Faculty of Medicine No. 2. Its six-year length comes from the faculty itself (Faculty of Medicine No. 2).

Nursing is taught in Ukrainian at UzhNU, not in English. An Indian student who wants to practise in India should look only at the English-medium Medicine programme.

Uzhhorod National University fees for 2026 to 2027

UzhNU publishes one fee table for foreign students, in US dollars, for full-time study (UzhNU fees for foreign students, 2026 to 2027).

At these rates, six years of Medicine in English come to about USD 22,500 in tuition. For comparison, the Ukrainian-medium Medicine programme costs USD 3,000 in year one and USD 3,200 a year after that. Fees for later years can change, so the published table is the figure to plan with.

Hostel charges, insurance, visa and residence permit costs come on top. UzhNU does not list them on its fee page, so plan for them separately. Our web story on what to sort before leaving for MBBS abroad lists the usual costs.

On 18 March 2026, NMC clarified how online study counts for foreign medical graduates (NMC public notice of 18 March 2026). Our web story on the NMC online classes rule gives the short version.

• Online time must be made up in person. Any theory, practical or internship period taught online must be compensated by physical attendance at the parent foreign university.

• The university must arrange it. This can be through extra classes or a longer course.

• A compensatory certificate is needed. The graduate shows a certificate from the university, with transcripts, confirming the online part was made up in person.

• Otherwise, clerkship in India. A graduate who studied online in the last two years and did not make it up must complete one or two years of clerkship in India.
