- by the applicant in person to the Admissions Committee
According to the 2018 admission campaign, the number of applications for admission to study on both government-funded places and places on the fee-paying (contractual) basis has more than doubled compared with 2017. The most popular programmes were “Prosthetic Dentistry” and “Dental Surgery”. There were 70 and 60 people per place, respectively. The other programmes in demand were: “Anaesthesiology and Emergency Medicine” (50 people per place); and “Orthodontics” and “Neurology” (47 and 29 people per place, respectively).
St Petersburg University provides clinical residency students with the opportunity to have practical training at the University Medical Centre - the Pirogov Clinic of High Medical Technologies. For example, last year, the surgeons of the clinic performed more than 5,000 successful endocrinological operations. The University Clinic is also top-ranked among the best medical institutions in St Petersburg.
