Requirements of China's Universities

-> In accordance with different levels of degree, Chinese universities have different requirements for all
enrollees. Before applying, you must carefully review these requirements.

-> Usually, non-degree language and culture programs have minimum requirements; as long as you have
obtained a high school diploma, you can apply for admission.

-> Chinese-medium degree courses (i.e. degree courses taught in Mandarin Chinese) require the applicant to
provide HSK examination results to prove their Chinese language proficiency. Applicants for master's
degrees also need to provide a copy of transcripts and recommendation letters.

-> English-medium courses do not require HSK exam results. Instead, applicants for English-medium
courses should provide recognized English proficiency tests such as TOEFL or IELTS. (English native
speakers or those who hold an academic degree taught in English need not provide test scores).

More and more universities are starting to offer international programs taught in English. These programs will no longer require HSK examination results and are suitable for international applicants.

Study MBBS in Ukraine

In recent years there are lots of Indian students who wish to study medicine in Ukraine. The reason is very simple; they couldn't afford fee which private institution in India offer.

So now there is no other option for Indian student other than studying somewhere under their affordable budget. The parents will get so many questions in their mind before they send their child many miles away from home.

Steps before you take decision:

1. Ask the student if he/she can live alone and make his/her ambition true.
2. Tell the student clearly that their main job is to study.
3. Think well about money matters. Normally the tuition fee and living expense will come around 2 lacs Indian rupees / year or 5000 USD/year.

Ok now if you are satisfied with above steps, then move on to admission process. There are many universities in Ukraine; all of them are funded by government. The facility will be same for most of the universities.

Visa process:

This is one of the tricky jobs in India. There are lots of documents and legal procedure to obtain Ukraine student visa. All the students have to appear for visa interview. Ukraine embassy is located in Delhi, India. The students have to stay for 3 – 5 days in Delhi, to finish all formalities. I would strongly suggest leaving this matter to any consultants in India. This will save lots of time and money.

After landing in Ukraine:

At this stage students will be under enormous pressure. The student mind will have so many things like new place, no friends, fathers' hard earned money, nobody to help, etc.

Some points which students has to keep in mind

• Am here to study
• I know that my father has spent so much money to fulfill my career dream of becoming doctor
• If am friendly to all, it's easy to get friends.
• I should be good and do good.
• I need to prepare for MCI test during my course of study.
• I need to approach senior students to know more about place and people.

Please ask the students to keep the above said points in mind.

Method of education in Ukraine:

Ok now you have made your mind after landing in Ukraine. The students have just left school, so they will be thinking of about how they are taught in India. Some students will be shocked by the way teachers teach in Ukraine University. But this is how the teaching system will be in most of the universities abroad like UK, USA or any other western country. The students have to put more effort to know much detail about the subject. The first year is always a difficult time for student, as they have to get adapted to this kind. Things will be good after second year.

Hostel facility:

The university in Ukraine will charge something around 700 – 1000 USD/year for accommodation. Please do not expect much with university accommodation, as they are very cheap. The student will get basic facility like electricity, water, heater, kitchen, toilet, etc. Students have to adjust will the room mate with whom they stay.
