Admissions

Transfer

Tbilisi Medical Academy is proud to welcome international students seeking a high-quality medical education in English. Georgia has become a growing destination for medical studies due to affordability, safety, and access to a European lifestyle.

TMA one-step MD program aligns with WFME standards, CanMEDS 2015 competencies, and the European ECTS framework. It equips students with international-level knowledge, communication skills, clinical research tools, and professional ethics.

TMA accepts transfer / mobility applications from students who have started a comparable programme at another recognised higher education institution. Decisions depend on academic standing, programme compatibility, available places, and recognition of prior learning.
