Life in Kharkiv, Ukraine

KHIM’s campus is located on a quiet downtown street, not far from the scenic Kharkiv river to the south. International students will undoubtedly be smitten by the stern splendour of Soviet-style architecture and the vibrant Ukrainian city life surrounding them.

Kharkiv is known as the Student’s City due to the many educational institutions in the city. Sharp minds from all over the world have chosen to study at this learning hub, and internationals will benefit from plenty of networking opportunities in a rich cultural environment.

As a four-season country, Ukraine shines in all the colours of temperate continental climate. Cold, snowy winters contrast with the warm, dry summers. Adventurers, wanderers, and international students are advised to prepare a balanced wardrobe for their stay.

Term Dates

The academic year begins with the autumn semester, which lasts from September 1 to January 20. However, the duration of January is dedicated to course exams. Afterwards, students can enjoy a well-earned Christmas break until the beginning of February.

The spring semester begins in February and lasts until the first week of June. There is another examination period immediately after it, which takes about two weeks unless the dean prolongs it. Eventually, the Summer vacation begins, and future doctors can pursue their own endeavours. For those interested, KHIM provides the unique opportunity of a summer internship at the hospital in Knurow (Poland). The programme is free of charge, and students need only pay for the trip.

I did join a university in Ukraine, but then thankfully, with Medlink, I was able to transfer ... I've done my research, and with the help of Medlink i picked a great university which fits my budget ...I told them, look, this is black and white. I've got this much that I'm able to spend on tuition fees. Where can I go? They narrowed it down a lot. And then from there I was able to decide ..It was very easy because I dropped a message and then I was able to schedule a call and literally every question that I had was answered loud and clear. So I was happy with that.
... Then Medlink have arranged for me someone to pick me up from the airport to take me straight to the hotel where I booked it. So I wasn't very worried about that. As long as my safety was fine, I was fine. And they reassured that for me. That was amazing.

The experience was really amazing. At first, I was skeptical about how things will turn out, of course, because I was moving initially from Turkey to a new place, but with the help of Medlink, I found things very easy because I didn't have to stress about my application issues. I only had to deal with my own issues, like the visa processing and my traveling. But the rest was all catered for, so the journey was really smooth and I loved it. And they also made prior arrangements for me with a school I found really helpful because coming into a new country, you know nobody, you don't know where to start. They already had set, like, a full ground for me, so i can come in, settle in and kick off my journey.
