Why Georgia.
Georgia has become one of the world's most popular destinations for affordable, English-taught medicine. A six-year MD costs a fraction of Western tuition, living is inexpensive, and the country is safe, welcoming and remarkably visa-friendly. Degrees from accredited universities are WHO-listed, NMC-recognised and WDOMS-listed, opening the USMLE, PLAB and FMGE/NExT routes — which is why thousands of international students, especially from India and the Gulf, train in Tbilisi and Batumi each year.

What it really
costs.
Georgia is one of the most affordable places in the world to study medicine in English. Tuition and living are both low — use this as a planning guide (figures in USD, as Georgian universities typically quote).
* Medicine sits at the top of the range; the best-known universities such as Tbilisi State Medical University are at the higher end.
Cost of living
Georgia's low cost of living is a major draw. Rent is inexpensive, local food and transport are cheap, and a modest monthly budget covers comfortable student life — markedly less than studying medicine almost anywhere in Europe.
