Study Palace Hub successfully hosted its annual Pre-Departure Seminar for students joining Northern State Medical University (NrSMU), Russia, in 2023. This comprehensive event provided aspiring medical professionals with essential guidance to smoothly transition into their academic journey abroad. The seminar began with an informative orientation session, where students gained insights into NrSMU’s curriculum structure, examination patterns, and key academic dates for the 2023-2024 session. Experts then shared valuable advice on travel formalities, covering visa processing, flight options, and accommodation choices near the university campus in Arkhangelsk.

A particularly engaging segment focused on cultural adaptation, offering practical tips on Russian language basics, local customs, and climate preparedness for the northern region. Attendees benefited from an interactive alumni panel, where former students shared firsthand experiences about student life, clinical rotations, and overcoming challenges in a foreign environment. The event also facilitated meaningful connections through a dedicated networking session, allowing new students to interact with peers and senior mentors.

The seminar concluded with a memorable photo session, documenting highlights like the keynote address by Study Palace Hub directors, group interactions, and the ceremonial handing over of pre-departure kits. Participants appreciated the thorough preparation, with many noting how the seminar alleviated their concerns about relocating abroad.
