Questions to ask this university

  • The Faculty of Medicine is one faculty of a multi-subject university. Which medical doctor programme is open to international students, and is it taught in English? The website does not state the language, so ask.
  • Kutaisi is a smaller city than the capital. Ask where clinical training takes place and what the arrangements are for hostel, food and travel.
  • Is the English-medium programme for international students taught throughout, including the clinical years, and what language is used with patients in hospital? Ask for this in writing.
  • Will the internship of at least 12 months, which NMC requires in the same institution, be completed here, and how will the university certify it? In Georgia the final year of the six-year programme is described as including the internship, so ask exactly how this is structured.
  • Which institution awards the degree, and is the programme you are applying to the same one that appears in the World Directory of Medical Schools (https://www.wdoms.org) and in the latest NMC notices for your admission year?
  • What is the current authorisation or accreditation status of this programme with the National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement in Georgia? Ask to see the document and its dates.
  • In which teaching hospitals or clinics will clinical training take place, are they owned by the university or only partners, and how far are they from the hostel?
  • Does the programme meet the NMC Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations on duration, English medium and a valid NEET UG qualification for your admission year? Read the current NMC notice yourself.
  • Which hostel or private accommodation, food, health insurance and city safety arrangements apply, and what do the Indian Embassy and the Ministry of External Affairs currently advise? Read the advisories yourself.
