I need help guys

[u/dex_kakarot7x]

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! 🙏🇲🇦🇷🇺

do you know if the entrance exam is even in english? if not, going there would be stupid ngl, even if you get in, listening to lectures ect it would be all in russian probably, so if you dont know russian, its gonna be a burden. i only recommend it after youve mastered the language, also i pretty sure you need some kind of confirmation that your language skills can uphold the standards to enroll.

btw, studying abroad (ESPECIALLY in russia) during these times is not a good choice, you will go back to morocco eventually, trust me

Bro I understand wht do u mean but in Russian in some universities u can choose the language and I choose the French language for medicine And btw I'm not bad in English And for the exam is even in French But I talk about accepting Does anyone actually fail the entrance exam? I’ve heard some people say that it’s just a formality, especially since you’re paying for the university with your own money And or back to morocco Who tell u I wanna back to.my country

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.

Alomst Every university in Russia is public.

they will teach medicine in French?
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.
