⚠️ If you hold a Bachelor's, a Specialist degree or a Master's, you cannot take part in this track.

Most medical subjects in this track lead to a "Specialist" degree rather than a Bachelor's — meaning a single continuous 5-to-6-year programme. Nursing is the only medical subject offered as a Bachelor's.

Two stages: the portfolio competition, then solving the olympiad tasks online under electronic proctoring (final).

The right to study in Russia under the government quota, with tuition covered by the federal budget; priority in choosing your programme, provided you can demonstrate command of the language of instruction; and a covered preparatory year if you need to learn Russian.

There is also a "runner-up" status, which grants the same rights subject to available places, and a "high achievement" status, which opens the door to applying for financial support under additional conditions.
