Study Medicine in Tbilisi – Teaching University Geomedi

Teaching University Geomedi was founded in 2001 and has grown into one of Georgia's best-known private medical universities. It offers Medicine and Dentistry programmes taught entirely in English — neither Georgian nor Russian is needed to complete your studies.

Geomedi is recognised by the WHO and listed in ANABIN. The curriculum covers pre-clinical sciences in the first years, followed by clinical training with placements at partner hospitals from year three onwards. The programme concludes after six years with an MD degree.

As Georgia is not an EU member state, degree recognition depends on your destination country. Medschool Experts will advise you on the licensing pathway relevant to where you plan to practise.

The Medicine and Dentistry programmes at Teaching University Geomedi each span six years across twelve semesters. The first two years cover pre-clinical foundations — Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Histology and Microbiology — all taught in English in an international student environment.

From year three, the clinical phase begins. You rotate through specialist departments at partner hospitals in Tbilisi, gaining direct patient experience in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, Gynaecology and other fields.

The programme concludes with an MD degree. Licensing pathways after graduation depend on your destination country. Medschool Experts will advise you on the steps required to practise medicine where you plan to work.

The basic requirement for placement at this university is a general higher-education entrance qualification. When placed through Medschool Experts, there is no separate entrance test. Get in touch to find out whether we can place you at this university, and book a free study consultation.

Tbilisi is one of the oldest cities in Europe and Georgia's capital — a city of around 1.2 million people set alongside the Mtkwari River with a historic fortress overlooking the city. It blends centuries of architecture, a thriving creative scene and a welcoming cosmopolitan atmosphere.

For international students, Tbilisi offers a high quality of life at very low cost. English is spoken in many settings, particularly in university neighbourhoods, restaurants and tourist areas. The metro, bus network and affordable taxis make the city easy to navigate.

Tbilisi is generally considered safe, with low crime and famously warm Georgian hospitality. Living costs — approximately 500 to 750 EUR per month — are among the lowest of any accessible European-adjacent city.
