Institutional position
Built through Kyrgyzstan–Türkiye cooperation
Manas University is an autonomous interstate institution with special state-university status in both founding countries. Its Faculty of Medicine operates with Türkiye’s University of Health Sciences.
Like KRSU and KSMA, it was not subject to Kyrgyzstan’s special 2026 medical-accreditation exercise; its status is separate from the ordinary one-year and six-year categories.
Turkish and Kyrgyz—not English
The published medical programme uses Turkish and Kyrgyz. Applicable international students complete compulsory preparation in both languages before the six medical years.
Two-country pathway
From language preparation to Istanbul clinical training
Bishkek
Preparation year
Compulsory Turkish and Kyrgyz preparation for applicable international students; no academic contribution is charged.
Bishkek
Medical Years 1–3
Foundational and early medical education at Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University.
Istanbul
Medical Years 4–6
Clinical-stage education through the joint programme with the University of Health Sciences, Türkiye.
