Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) is located in Vladivostok, Primorsky Krai — Russia’s gateway to the Pacific. It was founded in 1899 as the Eastern Institute by order of Tsar Nicholas II, closed in the 1930s under Stalin, and reinstated in 1956 as Far Eastern State University before becoming a Federal University in later years.
The MBBS (General Medicine) programme follows Russia’s standard 6-year curriculum, taught in English for international students, with clinical training at FEFU’s affiliated teaching hospitals. FEFU was ranked #434 in the 2023 QS World University Rankings and among the top 100 universities by Forbes.
Vladivostok sits on the Sea of Japan around Golden Horn Bay, with a population of over 603,000. It’s roughly 45 km from the China border and 134 km from North Korea — a genuinely distinctive Pacific-coast setting compared to Russia’s more central or northern university cities.

Hostel canteens and nearby grocery stores serve both local and Indian-style cooking setups; many students cook in shared kitchens to save costs.
Vladivostok has buses and a funicular — most students use public transport to reach classes and clinical placements across this hilly port city.
