CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT


In most Russian medical universities and institutes, the class sizes generally tend to be small with a student teacher ratio of 8:1, to give students a more attentive and personal learning environment. 

The main aim of such close interaction between teacher and class is to encourage students to take an active role through class participation. The teaching methods for classes may vary depending on the demands of the degree but generally involve practical sessions, theory, lectures, and individual research projects and group projects.

These classroom environments and teaching methods are monitored by the respective universities’ heads and continuously improved. The Russian medical university syllabi are designed to help foster the development of mature minds and students' independence and ability to formulate their own judgements. This ensures that students get a strong academic foundation to be able to pursue an education path that leads from an undergraduate degree to a graduate degree and finally, to becoming a qualified specialist.
