Study Transfer from Armenia: from Yerevan and Vanadzor to Europe

From which universities do we facilitate transfers?

From all Armenian universities with English-language medical programs: YSMU Yerevan, Yerevan Haybusak University, University of Traditional Medicine, Armenian Medical Institute, Saint Tereza Medical University, and Mkhitar Gosh in Vanadzor. The complete overview with tuition fees is in the article Studying Medicine in Armenia.

Why students from Armenia transfer to Europe

Language in the clinical phase

Classes are in English, but the clinical everyday life runs in Armenian. Those who notice they are only observing at the bedside lose learning time exactly where it matters most.

Accreditation is a case-by-case matter

Armenia has no accreditation agency of its own recognized by the World Federation for Medical Education. Those who want to know how their university is listed internationally must check this individually — in the World Directory of Medical Schools and in ANABIN. We look up both for you in the initial consultation.

The recognition pathway is regulated

Armenia is not an EU member and remains a third country. Since the reform of March 2026 this is no longer a disadvantage: from November 1, 2026, the oral knowledge examination under Section 3 of the Federal Medical Licensing Act serves as the standard route to nationwide licensing. Details in the article Approbation and Recognition.

How we handle a transfer from Armenia

We deliberately do not publish checklists or dates on this page. What a faculty wants to see differs from university to university and changes from one intake to the next, and no two transfers look alike — a list written today would only send you chasing the wrong things.

All we need to begin is your profile: where you are studying, how far you have come, and which countries you could picture yourself in. We then check individually at which university, in which country, we can place you — and where we can get you in on a timeline you can genuinely plan around. Because we work with the largest network of official partner universities for medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing and veterinary medicine, that is usually a choice between several options rather than a single one.

And because you are continuing rather than starting over, we always look for the highest possible entry point, so that the semesters you have already completed count. In many cases that means carrying on in one of the final two years of the programme.

Where can you transfer from Armenia?

University of East Sarajevo, Medical Faculty Foča (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

State faculty with its own university hospital, human medicine and dentistry in English, listed in ANABIN, EU-conformally accredited until 2033. 3,500 euros per academic year, practical year optionally completed entirely at a German teaching hospital. Students coming from Armenia typically reach a very high entry point here. To the Foča study guide.

MediCampus Europeo, Malta

EU location with English as official language. Campus in Il-Furjana near Valletta, Maltese MFHEA license, 14,500 euros per year with lump-sum payment. To the Valletta location article.

University of Niš, Faculty of Medicine (Serbia)

Large state university with its own university hospital, human medicine in English, 360 ECTS, degree MD. 1,500 euros per quarter, i.e. 6,000 euros per academic year. To the Niš location article.

The complete list of all numerus clausus-free options in Europe can be found in the study transfer article on Bulgaria.

Which of the three fits you best is not something you have to work out alone — that is exactly what the first conversation is for.

What the transfer means financially

Armenia is at 3,000 to 7,300 US dollars per academic year. Foča costs 3,500 euros, Niš 6,000 euros. Depending on the starting address, the transfer is therefore price-neutral — the gain lies in the degree, in English-language clinical operations, and in proximity to home. Our placement fee is success-based.

Why it is worth getting in touch early

• Places in the higher years are limited. The earlier we know your profile, the more options we can put in front of you.
• A transfer prepared calmly is the shorter one. Anyone who decides under time pressure usually has fewer universities to choose from.
• You lose nothing by asking. If we cannot place you well, we say so — that is more use to you than an expensive detour.

Looking at your situation costs you nothing. Book a free study consultation — by phone or video call, with your parents if you would like them there.
