Ranking Overview

Petre Shotadze Tbilisi Medical Academy has a specialist medical-school profile rather than a strong global ranking profile. Students should use rankings only as a supporting signal and focus more on programme recognition, licensing fit, clinical exposure, tuition, visa rules and living conditions in Tbilisi.

What The Rankings Mean

TMA is best judged as a focused medical academy, not as a research-heavy global university. A lower or limited global ranking profile does not automatically make it unsuitable, but students should be careful about the practical checks that matter for medicine.

For medical applicants, the most important questions are:

• Is the MD programme open for the September 2026 intake?
• Is the qualification recognised for the student's intended licensing route?
• Does the programme meet internship, clinical-hours or exam eligibility rules in the target country?
• Are tuition, admission fees and living costs affordable for the full 6-year plan?
• Does the student prefer a smaller medical academy environment?
• Can the student manage private accommodation and daily life in Tbilisi?

Recognition And Accreditation Checks

TMA states that its medical curriculum is aligned with international medical-education standards including WFME-related standards, CanMEDS competencies and the ECTS framework. The academy is also officially recognised through Georgian higher-education quality structures.

Students should still verify current recognition directly for their destination country. Medicine is regulated differently in every country, and a university listing or ranking does not replace formal licensing eligibility.

Ranking Advice For September 2026 Applicants

For the September 2026 intake, students should compare TMA with other Georgian and regional medical universities using:

• Official tuition and payment schedule
• Admission document requirements
• English-language delivery
• Clinical-training structure
• International-student support
• Visa and residence process
• Living costs in Tbilisi
• Licensing and postgraduate-exam eligibility
• Graduate outcomes and alumni pathways

TMA can be a reasonable option when the student's goal is specifically medicine in Georgia and the official recognition checks match the student's long-term plan.
