Northern State Medical University

The University was established more than 70 years ago and now it is a big scientific-educational-training institution. 70 professors work at the University. Many of them are well-known scientists, founders of scientific schools. Our university is an officially recognized center for training medical and medico-social personnel in the European North of Russia. Training starts already in secondary school. Coming from the same part of the country with our great Russian scientist -encyclopaedist M.V. Lomonosov, who believed that a university without a lyceum was the same as a plough-field without seeds, we created a system of continuing professional education: university lyceum - university college - basic faculties - faculty of retraining. Potential professionals of all possible medical and medico-social professional lines study at 13 Faculties and in 3 Institutes of the NSMU. Since 2001 students have an opportunity to study at two high schools at the same time, the second high school can be the Institute of Informational Technologies or the Institute of Management. The University is in close collaboration with clinics and in the very first year of studies students learn about their future work, learn the experience of their senior colleagues.
