About Yerevan Haybusak University

Haybusak is one of the private universities founded in Armenia after independence in the early 1990s. It has faculties in medicine, dentistry and other fields, and has admitted international students, including students from India. As a private institution, it sets its own fees and admission procedures within Armenian rules.

The General Medicine (MD) programme

The student handbook lists General Medicine leading to an MD. Medical programmes in Armenia generally run for six years, covering basic sciences, pre-clinical subjects and clinical training. Because the published details are limited, ask the medical faculty for:

• the full curriculum for each year, with teaching hours;
• the teaching language for each year (NMC requires English throughout);
• the hospitals used for clinical training and the internship arrangement;
• how graduates become eligible for a licence in Armenia.

Why some students consider Haybusak

• A medical programme in Yerevan, a safe and affordable capital.
• A private university that may have a simpler admission process.
• An established Indian student community in Yerevan.

Things to think about carefully

• Get every key fact in writing before paying.
• Compare the clinical training with state universities such as YSMU.
• Check the NMC conditions on internship and licence eligibility.

How admission works

Contact the university's admissions office for the 2027-28 international entry rules. You will usually need your Class 12 marks, passport, NEET scorecard and photographs. Ask whether there is an entrance test or interview, and what documents are needed for the visa and residence permit.

Fees and costs

Ask for the official 2027-28 tuition in writing, with the payment schedule and refund policy. Add accommodation, food, insurance, residence permit and travel. Pay only to the university's official account.

Life in Yerevan

Yerevan is a compact, walkable capital with parks, cafés and a lively evening culture. It is considered safe for students, and living costs are moderate. The city has a metro line, buses and minibuses. Winters are cold with some snow, and summers are hot and dry.

Haybusak or YSMU?

YSMU is Armenia's main state medical university with its own hospitals; Haybusak is a private university. Compare the curriculum, the hospitals used for clinical training, the number of international graduates each year, fees and written answers on the NMC conditions. Talk to current Indian students at both before you decide.

Before you apply to Yerevan Haybusak University

To practise in India later, you need a qualifying NEET-UG result before you join, and the course must meet the NMC Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations, 2021: at least 54 months of study, a 12-month internship at the same university, teaching in English and eligibility for a medical licence in Armenia. NMC does not approve or list foreign universities, so ask Yerevan Haybusak University to confirm these points in writing and read the latest notices on nmc.org.in. After graduating you will need to clear the licensing exam (currently FMGE) and a 12-month internship in India. Our MBBS abroad guide covers eligibility, documents, FMGE preparation and careers in detail.
