“This important agreement will provide international students with a passion for medicine a direct pathway to a top medical education from St. George’s University,” said Dr. G. Richard Olds, President of St. George’s University. “We look forward to welcoming aspiring physicians and veterinarians from NCUK’s global network of study centres to St. George’s.”
NCUK is a consortium of leading UK universities dedicated to giving international students access to universities worldwide. NCUK offers a range of pathway qualifications designed by its universities exclusively for international students wanting to study abroad at top universities. Students who enrol in the medical pathway at one of many NCUK Study Centres around the world and meet SGU’s admissions criteria are guaranteed a place in order to complete either the Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degrees at St. George’s University.
Students who meet the requirements for entry to the medical program can choose to study for their first year on the True-Blue Campus in Grenada, or in the UK at Northumbria University’s campus as part of the St. George’s University of Grenada School of Medicine/Northumbria University five-year MD programme. Those opting to take their first year at Northumbria will study an identical curriculum to their counterparts at SGU’s True Blue Campus in Grenada – providing a strong foundation in the basic sciences and non- science subjects.
Students then complete one year of integrated basic sciences in Grenada before undertaking two years of clinical rotations, a portion of which can be taken in the UK, with the remaining rotations in the US or Canada.
“I am delighted to announce the unique pathway for NCUK International medical students into our Medicine programmes at St. George’s University and the new cooperation between our organisations.” Added Pete Fiaschi, Director of Recruitment Asia and UK.
Graduates of SGU’s MD programme are eligible to apply to the Widening Access to Specialty Training, or WAST, programme — a Health Education England initiative within the National Health Service (NHS) that provides a pathway for U.K. registration through postgraduate training following the completion of an internship. This postgraduate training is recognized for licensure in the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Commonwealth countries.
