About Sevastopol State University

Sevastopol State University (SevSU) traces its academic roots to institutions founded in Sevastopol from 1951 onward, consolidated into its current form as Sevastopol State University in 2014. It is the largest city in Crimea and a major Black Sea port, founded by Catherine the Great in 1783 as a base for Russia’s Black Sea Fleet — a role it has held for over two centuries, including as a closed city during the Cold War.

The MBBS (General Medicine) programme follows Russia’s standard 6-year curriculum, taught in English for international students, with clinical training at SevSU’s affiliated teaching hospitals in Sevastopol.

Students choosing Sevastopol get a coastal Black Sea setting distinct from Russia’s inland or northern university cities, with a historic naval-port character and a warmer climate than most of the country.
