Syllabus of MBBS in Ukraine

Before we dive into the year-wise syllabus of MBBS in Ukraine, we need to understand what ECTS is and how it is beneficial to the students who choose to study MBBS in Ukraine.

European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System:

ETCS or the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System is a mechanism of the European Higher Education Area which makes the studies and courses more transparent. It basically helps students to easily move from one country to another and to have their academic qualifications and study periods recognised.

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System credits represent learning based on defined learning outcomes and their associated workload. It is a central tool in the Bologna Process, which aims to make national education systems more comparable internationally.
