Nizhny Novgorod State Medical Academy – Russian Federation,
Sri Lankan Campus

Our aim is to produce patient friendly doctors with a broad medical education. For this purpose students are taught the same subjects as in Sri Lanka but will also be imparted knowledge of the History of Medicine, Philosophy, Fundamental Law, Psychology, IT, Languages including Russian and other subjects which are important for a modern day doctor. The course will be of five years duration, where students will be studying four years in Sri Lanka and the final year to be completed in Russia.

The Ministry of Public Health of the Russian Federation has given their permission to conduct Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree program at our campus on the basis of training technologies, curriculum and academic hours applied in NNSMA. The course is closely monitored by the Russian Campus.

Each subject is delivered and monitored by respective Professors from Russian Campus and local State Universities. Sri Lankan Professors are either on Sabbatical leave and/or deliver lectures on weekends.

Students will have to sit the Act 16 examination as this degree will be considered a foreign degree. Lectures for the second batch have already started to synchronise with the Russian University calendar.

Students can also transfer to Russia at any time if they so desire.
