School of Medicine II

The School of Medicine II provides education in the following specialties:
I1 – Dentistry,
I4 – Medical Psychology,

One of the key advantages of studying at a classical university is the interdisciplinary approach: teaching and training are conducted by professors and researchers from multiple schools, ensuring a broad and high-quality academic experience.

Education at the school is practice-oriented and student-centered. From the early years, students are engaged in hands-on activities related to their future profession: participating in master classes, seminars, training sessions, and conferences. Practical skills are acquired in the country’s top simulation centers and reinforced in real clinical environments.

The school makes extensive use of the Simulation Center, Dental Simulation Center, the Karazin Clinical-Simulation Dental Center (based at the Kharkiv Regional Clinical Hospital), the Karazin Center for Physical Rehabilitation and Medical Psychology, and nearly 20 clinical bases at leading healthcare institutions in Kharkiv. Modern educational technologies are integrated into the curriculum, including online platforms, distance learning courses, simulators, virtual reality systems, multimedia programs, and 3D technologies.
