Within the walls of Zaporizhzhia State Medical and Pharmaceutical University, another graduation ceremony took place for international students who completed their studies in the fields of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Industrial Pharmacy. This year, dozens of graduates from various countries around the world received their diplomas as doctors and pharmacists, including students from India, Nigeria, Morocco, Ecuador, Uzbekistan, Tunisia, Canada, and Bulgaria.

Throughout their entire education, these young people mastered complex medical and pharmaceutical disciplines, completed practical training in clinics and pharmacies, studied the principles of modern evidence-based medicine, and adapted to the Ukrainian environment. The instruction was conducted in Ukrainian and English, which allowed the university to maintain high international standards of education.

Among this year’s graduates, special recognition goes to students from Nigeria – Aniabolu Chiedozie Kenechukwu and Onwoha Ejike Devi – as well as graduates from India – Braja Anand, Kurunthodi Chirag, and Manikandan Ambili. They all distinguished themselves as diligent, responsible, and goal-orientated future doctors, who are already ready to begin practical work in the healthcare sector.

During the diploma ceremony, the university’s rector, Professor Yurii Kolesnyk, congratulated the graduates on this significant milestone in their lives.

“It is a great honour to become part of such a respected academic community. We are grateful to the university for the quality education and warm welcome we received here,” noted Onwoha Ejike Devi from Nigeria.

Some graduates plan to return to their home countries for postgraduate education and to start their medical careers, while others intend to continue their professional development through postgraduate studies  in Ukraine.

This graduation once again confirms the status of Zaporizhzhia State Medical and Pharmaceutical University as one of the leading centres of international medical education, shaping specialists of the new generation capable of working under global challenges.
