Thus, the university puts efforts to save students' time and make them feel as comfortable as possible. International students from the same country are settled together so that they could support each other and help preserve their cultural traditions and customs.
Library services
IKBFU Scientific Library was founded in 1948. IKBFU Scientific Library has 830 thousand books, including periodicals. Since 2008 the electronic subscription is opened and since 2012 the training literature is available online.
ICT services
Computer labs with up-to-date hardware and software are available to students and professors. An important stage in the training of Medical students is the immersion in conditions close to real ones on the basis of the simulation center.
Campus life
The University is already embedded in the city, with its 36 buildings scattered around 11 locations in the heart of Kaliningrad. While it is imperative to maintain openness to the community and improve engagement with the region, it is also important to develop one location as a space for the future convention of generations. Therefore, by 2025 the central part of the campus will use the available growth resources in the adjacent area to transform into the new Plato’s Academy.
Sports facilities
The University has indoor sports facilities (a swimming pool, fitness centers, and gyms), outdoor facilities, and a stadium. Outdoor facilities are located near places where students study and live so that they would be able to do sports both as a part of university training and in their free time.
