Is Dnipro really that good because I have heard that they are bit costly and they are not good enough in-comparison of other EU Universities.
Anyone kindly explain me about the fee structure and are they recognised by GMC ?

From what I know, every week there is a MCQ test and obviously big final exams at the end of the year at Dnipro Medical Institute. This is aswell as whatever the teacher/lecturer Every medical student in Ukraine needs to take the Krok exam 1 and 2. Krok 1 is usually year 3, and krok 2 is usually year 6. These are 4 hour MCQ exam that you need to get atleast 60% in so that you can continue your studies/become a doctor. You will be able to find previous exam papers online.

Years 1-3 Are mainly academic and years 3-6 will be much more clinical eg in hospital.. surgery.. So you will be examined on your clinical skills later on. Ministry of Ukraine are even looking at introducing IFOM exam, which is almost the international equivalent of the USMLE exam.

Yeah you are correct about year 6, GMC considers internship year as F1 for international medical schools, however you still have the option to start as an F1 as I know some international graduates do so to gain additional experience. As of october this year over a third of doctors in the NHS graduated abroad so there plenty of people have done this.

Dnipro Medical Institute have February and October intakes, you will have to talk with medlink/university to work out if they can allow for the circumstances. Feb 2020 is full, unless you have already recieved acceptance you can't apply for that now.

You're not going to find any cheaper than Dnipro my friend :tongue: Tuition 1st year is approx £4300 and years 2-6 £3000 pounds, and cost of living is dirt cheap. You won't find any cheaper than Ukraine in terms of tuition fees. And dnipro medical institute has a massive british community so its the top pick for us.Also, we're talking 300 pounds a month for a full modern nice studio apartment whereas student accomodation in the uk can cost you nothing less than £400 a month and thats on a budget haha. A tram ride is like equiv of 15p and a 8 mile uber journey like £1.50? The british pound is wayy stronger than their currency, hence why it is so cheap. Ukraine is also the cheapest country in Europe.

In terms of how good it is, at a very basic level there is no doubt about its accreditation. You can be a doctor anywhere in the world with the degree. How good you find it is subjective of course. Nothing has indiciated to me that other EU universities are better/worse. All the students I've spoken with are satisfied, you can find on medlink students youtube channel students talking about the university.. If you're able to, you should try visiting the city/university.

For an international medical school degree to be recognised by the GMC it has to meet 4 criteria:
- Atleast 3 years of education in med school (undergrad is 6 years)
- In the world directory of medical schools (it is)
- Has atleast 5500 hours of clinical/study (it has)
- Is not specifically blacklisted by the GMC (it isn't)
People have graduated from dnipro medical institute already and are working as a doctor in the UK now.

My advice is that whatever questions you have about studying in Dnipro, just get in touch with Medlink Students and they will help you with your application and answer all your questions. I applied through them and they are professional and helpful, whenever I had any question I just texted them and got an answer. if you have any questions that I can help you with feel free to PM me.

I started my application with Medlink and took admission in Near East University Cyprus. they bring me here in a hotel and then the next day no one came to take me for the university visit and introduction I complaint the same to the Medlink but didn't received any updates or any help so far. there is a huge difference what they promised and what they do.

Is ur uni recognised in eu or Cyprus? Do they do grad entry and what r their fees.

It is possible, it's just hard work. Recently the GMC just accepted a student who did post grad 3 year course at dnipro. Medlink students can provide more information on this!
