North Ossetian State Medical Academy: Smart Choice in Pursuing a Medical Career Abroad

 

A career in medicine is the dream profession for thousands of students worldwide who have dreamed it since childhood. The problem comes in choosing the right university with quality, affordability, and international reputation if you are an international student. And if you are looking forward to studying MBBS abroad, then North Ossetian State Medical Academy (NOSMA) in Russia is a name you should know about.

 

Now let's consider in greater detail why NOSMA could be the perfect fit for you.

 

A Name to Remember in Medical Education

 

The NOSMA was founded back in 1939 and has built up a good reputation over the years. NOSMA is located in the southern Russian city of Vladikavkaz and is the oldest and most well-known medical school in the region. The academy has graduated thousands of doctors and a number have further worked at the world-class hospitals and clinics.

 

Among those attributes that define NOSMA are the intensive educational course and focus on the work experience in the clinics. It is a place where it is not just about studying medicine but living medicine.

 

Internationally Recognised: WHO & NMC Accredited

 

One concern in the minds of the majority of Indian students studying overseas is whether their degree will find recognition back home. The good news? NOSMA is officially recognized both by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India (formerly the MCI). This means you would also be qualified to sit for the NEXT exam and work as a doctor in India upon graduation and upon meeting the licensure processes.

In fact, NOSMA is also recognized and approved by other medical councils in other Asian countries, Africa, and the Middle East. Therefore if you want to return home, study overseas, or work overseas, your way is open.

 

 

Low Tuition Fees with No Additional Charges

Come on—med school is expensive, especially in private institutions. That’s where NOSMA shines. It offers quality medical education at an economical rate.

 

Here's an approximate breakdown:

 

First-year fee: Around $6,000 USD (including tuition, hostel, and insurance)

• Second year and later: Approximately $4,600 USD yearly

• Total expense over 6 years: Approximately $29,000–$30 It does not charge capitation fees and donations and is quite a suitable option for middle-class students to pursue medicine at low costs.

 

English-Medium MBBS Program

 

Language concerns? Not a problem. NOSMA's MBBS program is in English and as a result international students can comfortably study through lectures, take exams, and engage with their teachers without any language issues.

 

The course lasts six years and includes five years of instruction in the classrooms and a year of internship. You will start with the fundamental sciences—like anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry—before moving towards the training in clinics in the form of subjects like surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, and more.

 

Clinic experience forms the majority of the program, and the students can work in real hospitals with real patients in the supervision of expert doctors.

 

Healthy and Safe Student Life

 

NOSMA admits international students as well. There are rooms available in the hostels within the campus provided by the university which are comfortable and secure. The rooms contain beds, workspaces and wardrobes and the common areas contain kitchens, study lounges and washing facilities.

 

There are sporting complexes, libraries, and student cultural event venues in Vladikavkaz too. Vladikavkaz is also a very cheap city to reside in, with locally available transport, food, and sundries being significantly cheaper than any other city in Europe or any big city in India.
