Career alert: Ukraine beckons medical aspirants

Thiruvananthapuram: With over three lakh students from India migrating to various parts of the world to pursue their higher education, Ukraine is keen on attracting Indian students as a destination for medicine and aviation engineering.
Students can choose their foreign universities based on their speciality subject available, global recognition and the value of certification.

Ukraine offers courses in medicine (six years), computer science (four years) nursing (four years), civil aviation (four years), engineering (four years), MBA and PhD (two or three years) ensuring international job prospects. Criteria for a student: Qualification for medicine is +2 with 50 % marks in physics, chemistry and biology and for engineering +2 with 50 % in physics, chemistry and mathematics.

Medical Students are required to take an eligibility certificate before going to Ukraine. To practice in India after their education, they have to pass an MCI screening test, and engineering students need to take AIU equalisation to apply for a government job in India, said Alex Thomas, director of Anix Education. Students looking for cost-effective education, and yet an international degree, can consider Ukrainian as a good destination.

While the fee for medical courses ranges between $ 3500  and $ 4300, engineering programs cost $ 2200 - $ 3000. Around 4000 to 5000 international students are studying in Ukraine. As many as 5000 Indian students have studied there in the last three years.  Students can now apply through government authorised Anix Education 9442151525 or 9884830030 for the various courses.
