About Yerevan in Armenia
Yerevan Haybusak University location is Yerevan. Located alongside Hrazdan River, northeast to the Ararat Valley, the city offers mediocre living standards and facilities. In fact, the poverty of Armenia is a well-known fact and consequently, a lot is lacking.
The capital city Yerevan is the industrial, cultural and administrative center of Armenia. The climate can be a challenge, especially to Indians. During the month of January, the temperature goes below -15 degrees Celsius which is quite a challenge for foreigners, especially Indians.
Yerevan Haybusak University, Armenia
Founded recently (1991), Yerevan Haybusak University is the largest state-accredited private institution among the few mediocre universities that Armenia has. Keep in mind, any university that is so new will take a very long time to gain the experience required to be fit to be called a ‘good university’.
As is the problem with all universities in Armenia, the Yerevan Haybusak University suffers from ‘infrastructural debility’. Had it only been the academic building or the classrooms that needed improvement, it would have been fine. The problem is more serious.
The laboratories here majorly lack resources. The medical training, as you may be able to imagine, depends heavily on practical learning that in turn depends on the availability of learning resources at the labs.
The situation is equally grave when it comes to the quality of education. The overall learning experience has never been spoken well-off by the alumni. Neither the faculty nor the education system is very commendable. The field of medicine demands tremendous command over facts and procedures. One can never afford to compromise in these.
The MBBS program at Yerevan Haybusak University is six years program and the curriculum strives to emulate the one recommended in the Bologna agreement. The curriculum itself lacks nowhere but the faculty and below average infrastructure makes the entire process counter-productive. In addition, the Clinical exposure is inadequate due to the low population and consequent lack of patients.
Equally unsettling is the fact that the only purpose for which Armenia encourages incumbents from foreign countries is the associated financial gains. Not that the other nations do not have that motive but the Armenian universities are alarmingly indiscriminate.
The Armenian universities try their level best to accommodate every kind of student as long as they pay. That means many students will not fall in the category of sincere, interested students, a recipe for nuisance indeed.
The Yerevan Haybusak University World Ranking is 12125th among 40,000 odd universities while the Yerevan Haybusak University Country Ranking in Armenia is 29th.
If we look hard, the only benefit we can find in taking admission in the Yerevan Haybusak University is the money that people save because of the low tuition fee. But you couldn’t make a greater mistake than choosing a foreign university to study medicine just because it is cheap.
But the low cost is limited to tuition fee alone. The living cost in Armenia is ridiculously high. The rent in Armenia is more than double of that in India. Even groceries are almost 5% costlier.

Challenges of studying in Yerevan Haybusak University
Taking admission in any university in Armenia is a bad idea at this point in time. Read the following carefully so that the taste of the idea lingers.
The Yerevan Haybusak University, like any other Armenian university, is not recommended because:
- Not only the population in Armenia is lower than other European countries such as Ukraine or Russia, but also the economy is suffering. Not a good combination at all for the medical universities in such a country.
- As per the facts mentioned above, you can see that Armenia has extremely high cost of living which more or less compensates what you might think you are saving in tuition fees.
- The universities in Armenia are quite eager to accommodate as many foreign students as possible because of which they stoop down to great degrees of leniency when admitting students.
- Being economically backward, one cannot expect excellence in infrastructure, whether academic or general.
- The lack of adequate medical infrastructure and population also means inadequacy in clinical exposure while studying.

Indians at Yerevan Haybusak University
At Yerevan Haybusak University, there are less than 25 students from India and one can safely assume that most of them must have taken impulsive decision because of less education fees and lenient eligibility criteria. Somehow, agents manage to trick students into taking admission in the university just for the sake of getting MBBS degree from medical college.
Moksh wouldn’t suggest you to take admission here in any condition. In case you have any queries, you can get in touch with counseling experts at Moksh.
