About the university:
The beginning of the university’s history dates back to 1921, when it was announced the opening of the Belarusian State University, which at that time included the medical faculty, which was separated in 1930 as an independent educational institution.
In 1930, the Belarusian medical Institute was founded on the basis of the faculty. During the Second World War, from June 1941 to October 1943, the Institute did not function, and then its work resumed in the city of Yaroslavl (Russian Federation). In 1944, the Belarusian medical Institute returned to its former location in the city of Minsk. In 1960, the faculty of dentistry was established.
In 1995, the military medical faculty was established as part of the institute. In September 2011, the faculty of pharmacy was opened.
BSMU is the leading higher medical educational institution of the Republic of Belarus, which has a well-deserved international authority and recognition. Every year, more than 1,200 highly qualified doctors graduate from the walls of the university, about 170 of which are foreign citizens.
During the years of study at BSMU, you have come a long way from very young first-year students to independent, mature specialists. In the life of every graduate, the time spent at the University is a wonderful period, which everyone remembers with love and warmth in their hearts. This is the time for which so much has happened …
After studying within the walls of their native Alma mater, graduates have ample opportunities to continue and improve their postgraduate education at the following levels: internship, master’s degree, postgraduate study, doctoral studies and clinical residency.
