Application Tips

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Even qualified applicants can face rejection due to application errors. Be aware of these common mistakes to increase your chances.

Papers without the right stamps

Papers must be legalised (stamped as real by the right offices). They also need a certified translation into Ukrainian (or English if Ukrainian is not available), checked and stamped by a notary.

Medicine online

Medicine (MBBS, the medicine degree) is on campus only. If you are from India, India's National Medical Commission (NMC) says any part you studied online must be made up.
