Frequently Asked Questions

The questions applicants ask us most often about medicine in Georgia

Is MBBS from Georgia recognized worldwide?

The faculties listed here appear in the WHO Directory, which is what most licensing bodies require before letting you sit their screening exam β€” USMLE in the United States, PLAB in the UK, FMGE/NExT in India. Passing that exam, not the degree alone, is what grants the right to practise, and the rules differ by country. Check your own medical council before you enrol.

Do I need MCAT, NEET or IELTS for medicine in Georgia?

None of them. Georgian medical faculties admit on your secondary-school results. There is no standardised entrance examination and no English certificate requirement; your English is assessed during the admission interview instead.

What is the tuition fee for MBBS in Georgia?

Medical tuition runs roughly $4,000 to $8,000 per year depending on the faculty, with no donation and no capitation fee. You pay nothing while your application is processed β€” the first payment falls due only after your Ministry-approved admission is issued and you confirm enrolment.

How long is the medical program in Georgia?

Six years: pre-clinical sciences first, then clinical subjects, then rotations in Georgian teaching hospitals. Graduates receive an MD, the qualification equivalent to MBBS in Commonwealth countries.

Can I practise medicine after graduating in Georgia?

Yes, once you pass the licensing examination of the country where you intend to work. A WHO-listed Georgian degree lets you sit those exams; it does not by itself grant a licence anywhere. Many graduates go on to residency in the EU, the Gulf, India or North America after clearing the relevant screening test.

What does living in Tbilisi cost as a medical student?

Most students budget $300-$500 a month covering shared accommodation, food and transport. Tbilisi remains one of Europe's least expensive capitals, and student housing near the medical faculties is widely available.

Do I need a visa to study in Georgia?

You apply for a D3 student visa once your admission is approved. We prepare the invitation letter, list exactly what your embassy requires, and stay with you through the appointment and the residence permit that follows arrival.

Are clinical rotations part of the programme?

Yes. Clinical rotations take place in Georgian teaching hospitals from the later years of the degree, so you finish having worked with real patients rather than only in lecture halls.
