About Far Eastern Federal University
Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) was established in its current form as a federal university in 2011, though its roots go back to 1899 in Vladivostok - Russia's major Pacific port city. FEFU is one of Russia's flagship federal universities and has a modern campus on Russky Island in the Pacific Ocean just off Vladivostok. With over 22,000 students, it is a large and dynamic institution with growing international student enrolment.
The 6-year MBBS programme at FEFU's School of Medicine is conducted in English for international students. The curriculum covers pre-clinical sciences in Years 1–3 with clinical training from Year 3 at affiliated Vladivostok hospitals. The Pacific location and FEFU's orientation towards Asian markets means the university has particularly strong connections with Asian medical institutions.
Far Eastern Federal University holds recognition from India's NMC and the World Health Organisation (WHO). Vladivostok's proximity to Japan, South Korea, and China means the university operates in a distinctly international academic environment. For Indian students, FEFU offers a unique Pacific study experience with full NMC recognition.
