About Sechenov University

Sechenov University has a rich history spanning over 265 years. As one of the first medical universities in Russia, it has trained thousands of specialists who have made significant contributions to medicine both in Russia and abroad. This tradition of academic excellence and innovation continues today.

University Infrastructure

Modern campuses, libraries, laboratories, and recreational areas make the university’s infrastructure convenient and safe. Students can study, socialize, practice sports, and relax without leaving campus.

Dormitories and Student Services

The university cooperates with partner dormitories where students can live during their studies. Accommodation is provided on a first-come, first-served basis, so placement in a dormitory is not always guaranteed. If no spots are available, alternative housing options such as hostels or rented apartments can be used. International students also have access to support services that help them with academic matters and adapting to life in Moscow.

Advising and Mentorship

Every newcomer receives support from a mentor — either a senior student or a faculty member — who helps organize academic life, adapt to the university, and make friends. Advising and mentorship ensure that students’ first months are as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Safe and Multicultural Campus

Sechenov University offers a secure campus with 24/7 security and medical services. The multicultural environment brings together students from dozens of countries, fostering mutual respect, collaboration, and a vibrant international community.
