Student Stories

the move. 🇬🇪

Real people who messaged us just like you — and are now studying medicine in Tbilisi.

I spent 3 months researching MBBS abroad — Russia, Philippines, Kazakhstan. Then I found StudyMed Georgia. Within 48 hours I had a provisional offer from CIU. The whole process took 6 weeks. I'm now in Year 2 and Tbilisi is honestly the best city I've ever lived in.

I tried applying to GRUNI directly through their website — it was confusing and I got no reply for 2 weeks. A friend sent me StudyMed Georgia's link. I WhatsApp'd them at 11pm and got a reply in 15 minutes. My visa was approved, I'm doing Dentistry for $4,500/year. Unreal value.

My main worry was whether the degree would be recognized back in Jordan. StudyMed Georgia sent me a full breakdown — CIU is recognized by the Jordanian Medical Council. That was the answer I needed. Applied, got in, flew to Tbilisi in September. Best decision I've ever made.

I was scared about the language barrier. They told me everything is in English, no Georgian needed, B1 level is enough. I took a 3-month prep course at the university for $500 and now I'm completely fine. Living costs are crazy low — I spend about $500/month total.

I needed a March intake — not September. GRUNI was the only option and StudyMed Georgia knew that instantly. They handled my NCEQE recognition, the Ministry order, the invitation letter — I literally just showed up with my suitcase. Zero stress application.

FAQ

Questions we get
every single day.

No fluff. Straight answers to what students actually ask us on WhatsApp.

Do I need to speak Georgian to study?

+

No. All programs we offer are 100% taught in English. You don't need to know a single word of Georgian. You need a minimum B1 English level for Bachelor's programs — if you're not there yet, CIU offers a 3-month language course for just $500.

Is there an entrance exam?

+

No entrance exam at either university. You need your high school diploma, a copy of your passport, and basic documentation. That's it. No IELTS required (if English was your language of study).

How long does the application take?

+

Once you submit your documents to us, the process typically takes 4–8 weeks from application to invitation letter. Important: documents must be submitted at least 1.5 months before your intended intake (March or September). We'll keep you updated at every step — no waiting in the dark.

Is Georgia safe? What's it like to live there?

+

Georgia is consistently ranked one of the safest countries in Europe. Tbilisi has a huge international student community, great food, affordable nightlife, fast internet, and a cost of living that's a fraction of Western Europe. Most students absolutely love it.

How much does it cost to live in Tbilisi?

+

Expect to spend around $750–950/month on rent, food, transport and going out. A 1-bedroom apartment near campus starts from $400/month. Food and groceries run $200–250/month. Transport is about $20/month. A full meal at a restaurant is $5–10. It's still very affordable compared to Western Europe.

Will my degree be recognized in my country?

+

Both universities are listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools and accredited by WFME — which is the international standard. CIU is additionally recognized by GMC (UK), ECFMG (USA), NMC (India), Saudi Health Council, and more. Message us with your country and we'll give you a specific answer.

Which university should I choose — CIU or GRUNI?

+

It depends on your country and goals. CIU has more global recognitions (especially UK — GMC/GDC) and is slightly more established internationally. GRUNI has lower fees, the largest simulation labs in Georgia, a March intake, and no entrance exam. We'll help you choose based on where you want to practice after graduation — just ask us.

How much does your service cost?

+

Our service fee is £1,500 for UK students or $1,500 for all other countries. Payment is split: 50% when your documents are submitted, and the remaining 50% when your Ministry order is issued — so you only pay the second half once your place is confirmed. Tuition is paid directly to the university separately.

What documents do I need to apply?

+

The basics: passport copy, high school diploma, academic transcripts, passport photos. We'll tell you exactly what's needed for your specific country and help you prepare everything — including translations and notarizations if required.
