Planning Your Sechenov Leaders Program Application This Year

A strong Sechenov Leaders program application is usually the result of steady preparation rather than a last-minute rush. Dates and procedural details are set each year by the university, so this guide does not list deadlines. Instead, it breaks the process into planning stages that students in Indonesia can work through at their own pace, checking each one against official sources.

Stage 1: Build your information base

Bookmark two pages. The program site, https://healthleaders.sechenov.ru/, describes the degree: General Medicine taught in English over six years, with leadership training, extra research courses and mentoring. The university’s admission campaign page, https://www.sechenov.ru/admissions/priemnaya-kampaniya-2026/, holds the general rules for the 2026 cycle. Treat every other summary, including ours, as a starting point to verify.

Stage 2: Prepare for the entrance tests

Admission involves two tests. Chemistry is the priority subject, so it deserves the largest share of your study time. Russian language is the additional test; if you are starting with little or no Russian, plan regular practice well ahead. Both are taken in test format, so working through practice questions under timed conditions is a sensible habit.

Stage 3: Decide how to submit documents

Three routes are available: in person in Moscow, by post to the university, or online through the Gosuslugi portal. The choice affects your timeline, since international post takes time and the online route requires portal access. Confirm the most suitable option with the admissions office before you commit.

Stage 4: Plan the budget and the contract

The first year costs 1,500,000 rubles. This covers the full General Medicine curriculum, a six-year leadership development track, research disciplines, curator and mentor support, laboratory access and extracurricular projects. Fees for later years are not stated on the program page, so ask about them before signing. Enrollment is complete once the education contract is signed and payment is made.

Stage 5: Check the rules for entering Russia

Travel and residence requirements are separate from admission. The university explains them at https://welcome.sechenov.ru/en/migration-support/, and it is wise to read this page early.

Our program overview and admissions guide summarize the main points, and the contacts page lists the admissions office phone numbers. When your plan is ready, review the official page at https://healthleaders.sechenov.ru/ and send remaining questions to healthleaders@staff.sechenov.ru.
