Kyiv Medical University

What Kyiv Medical University does

Kyiv Medical University (KMU) is a private higher-education institution founded in 1992 as the first private medical university in the post-Soviet space, headquartered in Kyiv, Ukraine at 2 Boryspilska Street. It delivers undergraduate and graduate medical, dental, pharmacy, clinical psychology and healthcare-management programs (6-year medicine, 5-year dentistry, 5-year pharmacy master's) primarily in English, supported by a digital infrastructure comprising Google Workspace, an E-Dekanat (electronic dean's office) system, a PrExam platform for KROK licensing-exam preparation, the Center for Simulation Training and Assessment (CSTA), and the DatAIsland software suite. The university operates through two campuses — its main Kyiv facility and the KMU Polish Campus in Katowice (launched February 2024 with €2.5M EBRD debt financing as part of a €4.1M overall investment) — and draws on roughly 60 affiliated hospitals and clinics for clinical rotations. KMU is recognized by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine at the highest accreditation level and by WHO, FAIMER, ECFMG, Medical Council of Canada, GMC UK and the medical councils of India, Ghana, Nigeria and Pakistan.

KMU's revenue model is tuition-funded: students pay per-semester fees (with installments from year two) across a multi-year program, supplemented by one-time admission fees, postgraduate clinical residency (internatura) fees, and continuing professional development charges for practicing medical professionals. Go-to-market is sales-led and student-recruitment-driven, with two annual intakes (winter and summer), embassy-network international recruitment, academic-mobility referrals from partner universities (Ulster, Karlshochschule, Kazakh National Medical University, Karazin, Erasmus+) and digital marketing via the official website, Telegram, Facebook and Instagram. The university has graduated more than 5,000 alumni cumulatively and supported more than 2,000 students through the Polish Campus project, which produced approximately 250 graduates in its first cohort in 2026.
