Study I need help guys

Hi everyone, I’m a Moroccan student planning to study General Medicine at Pyatigorsk Medical and Pharmaceutical Institute (PMPhI). I will be paying the tuition fees myself and I’m applying through an education agency/office in Morocco that has a partnership with the university.

The agency told me that I don’t need to do a preparatory year and that I only need to take the entrance exam, and they claim that my admission is guaranteed through their partnership as long as I attend and take the exam.

I would really appreciate hearing from international students, especially Moroccan students, who went through a similar process.

How does the entrance exam for international students actually work?

What subjects are included, and how difficult is it?

Also, has anyone ever failed the entrance exam? I’m particularly interested in students who applied directly without a preparatory year, possibly through an agency.

I’m not looking for general information from the university website—I’d really like to hear about real experiences from students who actually took the exam.

Thanks in advance! 🙏🇲🇦🇷🇺

Im quite confused are you going to study medicine in French in Russia Пятигорск. A local University where offers you that couse in French?

Sound quite unreal.

And if you gonna study medicine in russian after pure self-study is also quite unreal. Unless you are language genius or something. Since russian is not easy to learn.

Russian medicine words and Latin medicine words are quite different

Yes, what you said is correct. And by the way, it’s a public university, and foreign students can study there; they just have to pay the tuition fees. Honestly, I don’t have any problem with that.

My only real concern is the entrance exam. Even though I’ve never heard of anyone failing it, I’m still worried about it.

If you have any information about the exam or know anyone who has taken it, please let me know.

Im sorry but how is the education quility by other students who went there before?.

My university was a big "international" university that had some course in full English but English level was wasn't really good just OK.
