It’s a medical school. In Ukraine, the law states that if a university teaches one subject, for example, medicine, they call it an institute or academy. If a university teaches many subjects like art, architecture, business, biology, physics, maths, etc., they call it a university.
So, Dnipro Medical Institute is an institute because they focus on medicine, but a branch of medicine is dental medicine (an umbrella beneath medicine). They’re only teaching one subject.
Another thing to note, academies are government owned and institutes are private-owned.
What’s important is that this is a higher education institution and equal as any other high education institution, whether academy or institute or university in Ukraine. I'm really not sure what you're trying to get at with "technical school". Never heard of this term nor is it officially used anywhere.
Outside of Ukraine, your degree is a higher education degree, which is bachelor, masters and PhD, and that is what they’re accredited to grant. So, by law, you’ll receive an MD (Doctor of Medicine) degree with a masters.
There are people applying to GMC this year as only recently have british people gone back to the university. The problem isn't when they get registered, its is if they do get registered as the GMC subject doctors to many quality checks over their course of employment. So find comfort and assurance that there are people from this university.
I don't know where the rumour has come about that the university doesn't own rooms? It has its own building.. You can go to the university's own deans office. Absolute rubbish source of information. To add onto it, "doesn't have good reputation at all", where is your source of information for that? Again, absolute rubbish.
In terms of using an agency, yes I would use one. Medlink students are the exclusive agency for dnipro medical institute, its hard to do it without an agency. A lot of documentation and support over the years, many of us couldn't have done it without the guidance/experience of an agency on the ground.
As a current student in dnipro, I don't drink but nightlife seems very lively haha. Also safety is like any other city.
Last thing sarah, all I ask is for you to comment on things with proper sources and information and proofs. And to provide them, as these are people's futures. Let's not go off of whims.
