New Vision University (Tbilisi) MD: Fees, Curriculum, FMGE Results and Review

New Vision University at a glance

New Vision University (NVU) is a private university in Tbilisi whose School of Medicine teaches a six-year, 360-ECTS Medical Doctor (MD) programme in English. It is smaller than Georgia's big public medical schools but has posted steady FMGE results, and it publishes its fee on the programme page.

Fees and total cost

NVU lists tuition of $7,000 a year for its MD programme, matching the GEL 19,320 figure in Careers360's April 2026 Georgia guide.

How the MD curriculum works

NVU structures its 360 ECTS into four "loops", moving from foundations to practice:

1. First loop — 120 ECTS: body systems, life sciences, core medical values, clinical skills and research methods.
2. Second loop — 60 ECTS: bridging and synergy courses such as Pharmacology, Physical Diagnosis, Family Medicine I and General Surgery.
3. Third loop — 120 ECTS: treating disease according to current clinical guidelines.
4. Fourth loop — 60 ECTS: hands-on practice with real-world clinical challenges, in in-patient and out-patient settings.

The university describes the training as predominantly practical and says the programme was designed to meet WFME global standards and TUNING/MEDINE learning outcomes. The programme page does not name specific hospitals, so ask which clinical bases you will rotate through and how many students share each clinical group.

For FMGL 2021, the final 60-ECTS practical phase (one academic year) is the part most likely to serve as your 12-month clerkship. Ask NVU for written confirmation that it is certified by NVU itself and documented in a way NMC accepts. Our FMGL rules guide explains the requirement.

FMGE results

NVU's FMGE results have been above Georgia's average and stable across sessions.

Source: NBEMS. Georgia's 2025 average was 30.3%; the all-country figure was 21.5%. Consistency across sessions is a better sign than a single high result. See our FMGE guide.

Admission for 2027

NVU's admission pages list the current process. As at other Georgian universities, Indian applicants need Class 12 PCB with at least 50% (40% reserved), a qualifying NEET-UG score from the last three years, and proof of English. Once the university accepts you, Georgia's National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement (NCEQE) recognises your school certificate and the Ministry of Education issues a decree, after which you sign the contract, pay tuition and apply for a Georgian visa. The academic year starts in the autumn.

Licence and life in Tbilisi

Georgian authorities say MD graduates of every nationality must pass a national post-diploma exam — in Georgian — and complete residency before independent practice, so learn Georgian seriously during the course. Tbilisi has hot summers, winters near freezing and low crime overall according to the UK FCDO, though political protests around Parliament should be avoided.

Questions to ask NVU before you pay

Ask the admissions office — in writing — before you transfer any money:

• Which hospitals and clinics host the third and fourth loops, and how many students are in each clinical group?
• How many hours of Georgian language does the MD include, and from which year?
• Is the $7,000 tuition fixed for all six years, and what other charges apply (insurance, residence permit, exam retakes)?
• What is the current accreditation decision for the English MD, and when does it expire?
• Does NVU help with accommodation, and what does it cost?
• Will the university issue a separate certificate for the final-year clinical phase?

Pay only into the university's own bank account and keep every receipt. Our agent scams and red flags guide lists common traps.
