Study abroad at Belarus

Belarus is a popular destination in Eastern Europe for international students seeking affordable, high-quality education, particularly in general medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, IT and software engineering, and classical sciences. State universities such as Belarusian State Medical University (BSMU) and Belarusian State University (BSU) offer globally recognized degrees accredited by the WHO, UNESCO, and international medical boards. Students benefit from very low tuition and living costs, modern laboratory facilities, safe cities, and English-medium degree tracks.

Tuition fees in Belarus are remarkably competitive. Preparatory Russian-language course fees range between $2,000 and $2,800 per year. Undergraduate engineering and IT programs range from $2,500 to $4,000 per year. General Medicine (MBBS) and Dentistry in English range between $4,200 and $5,500 per year. Living expenses and student dormitory costs are very affordable, averaging $250 to $450 per month.

International students must first obtain an Official Study Invitation approved by the Citizenship and Migration Department of Belarus. With this invitation, students can obtain a Study Visa from the Belarusian Embassy or at Minsk International Airport (for countries with no local embassy). Upon arrival, mandatory registration and a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) are issued through the university.
