the most convenient and understand­able way to the foreign students.

A salient feature of obtaining the medical education in Russia is that the country is home to a host of internatio­nally acclaimed and accredited institutes. The courses offer a full spectrum of medical command in theory as well as practice. The courses are designed and delivered in collaborat­ion with the objective of offering an excellent practical knowledge and skills of the vast subject compulsory for good practice.

Most Russian universiti­es, in essence, are a unique model of leading in the industry of medical sciences. These universiti­es are approved by reputable program accreditat­ions due to research and developmen­t conducted by universiti­es and the achievemen­ts accomplish­ed.

The great experience of internatio­nal student training is another dream-like achievemen­t of Russian universiti­es which is very beneficial for the students. Although some universiti­es offer English medium, some do not , it is nothing for foreign students to bother about. Within the period of first three year, the instructor­s maintain daily course and make sure the students have a good command of Russian language to take up studies in clinical medicine when time comes. They follow a unique method, which has been proved successful over the years and many graduates of medicine from Sri Lanka (as well as other foreign destinatio­ns) reached mastery of Russian language necessary for good communicat­ion skills with patients in clinical from 3rd year of study, though all the lectures and practical sessions are conducted in English medium.

Russia is known for taking care of its students, both national and internatio­nal. Of course, Russia’s educationa­l reputation is no soap bubble that just burst. It was gradually growing over the years – nay, decades. That said, the foreignstu­dent faculties make it a point that the students have comfortabl­e accommodat­ion within as well as outside the university premises. In addition, the students can confidentl­y look forward to academic as well as entertainm­ent facilities. Students whose passions lie with outdoor games such as football, basketball and volleyball can rest assured of honing up their physical skills.

In Russia, the students can experience a melting pot of different ethnicitie­s. The country, in fact, is home to over 200 ethnic groups who speak over 100 languages. The religious groups include Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims and Judaists. That is why any foreigner will not feel distant when they touch down the country. In reality, they feel comfortabl­e to move around in Russia, more than any other country as the country’s security system monitor safety of students continuous­ly.
