Study Medicine in Georgia: A Smart Choice for International Students

 

Medipathway Educational Consultancy

Are you wondering where to pursue a globally recognized medical degree at an affordable cost? Georgia—the beautiful crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia—offers a compelling choice. Through Medipathway Educational Consultancy, international students can smoothly navigate admission and secure MBBS spots in accredited Georgian universities.

Why Study Medicine in Georgia?

🌍 Internationally Recognized Degrees

Most Georgian medical universities are recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), and National Medical Commission (NMC) of India, which means MBBS/MD degrees from Georgia are accepted globally. Georgia is also part of the European Higher Education Area (Bologna Process), making its degrees accessible across the EU, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and beyond.

💰 Affordable Tuition & Living Expenses

Tuition fees for MBBS in Georgia typically range from $4,000 to $8,000 per year, depending on the university, making it significantly more affordable than Western universities. Living costs are also low, often $200–400 per month, including accommodation, food, transport, and utilities.

🇬🇧 English-Medium Programs

MBBS programs at Georgian universities are delivered entirely in English, eliminating language barriers and making them ideal for international students.

📝 No Entrance Exams Needed

Most universities do not require entrance tests like MCAT or NEET—though Indian students still need a valid NEET qualification per NMC guidelines. Admission is based on academic transcripts and language proficiency.

🩺 Strong Clinical Training & Global Exam Preparation

Georgia’s universities emphasize clinical exposure from early on and have curricula aligned with licensing exams such as USMLE, PLAB, or FMGE.

🏛️ Cultural Richness & Safety

With welcoming locals, a multicultural student body, and a low-crime environment, international students feel safe and comfortable studying in cities like Tbilisi, Batumi, and Kutaisi. Georgia also offers rich cultural heritage, scenic beauty, and vibrant campus life.
