The main MBBS intake in Russia is September, and applications typically run May to August, though windows vary by university. Since missing a window usually means waiting a full year, plan your research, entrance preparation and visa steps at least a year ahead.

For MBBS in Russia, the main intake is September and the application window typically runs from May to August. Universities abroad follow fixed intake cycles, so missing the window usually means waiting a full year. Start planning well ahead so you are ready when applications open. Windows vary by university, and some run from 20 June to 18 August.

My Advice

Begin your research at least a year before the September intake. Entrance preparation, applications and visa processing each take longer than most students expect, so build in extra time. Confirm the exact dates with your shortlisted university, as they can vary.
