Ahmad, Saudi Arabia

I did not consider applying to a Russian university at first because I planned to study abroad. But when I talked to my friend who studied in Russia, my plans changed. Everything went smoothly, and I am happy with my decision now. Over five years, I’ve fallen in love with Moscow and its residents. In the future, I plan to advance at an international level, but Russia will always be my second home country. Pirogov University unites students of various ethnicities, helping everyone unleash their potential.

Dias, Kazakhstan

I chose Pirogov University because it is one of the leading medical universities in Russia where you can gain high-quality knowledge and become a traumatologist. I plan to work in Russia as I can see the opportunities for professional growth here. I realize that studying is hard, but I am ready to face any challenges to achieve my goal.
