**What happened and why it matters**
OC Media reports that several universities in Georgia have moved to reshuffle faculties and departments, a step that has drawn criticism from academics and student groups. For international applicants — including many from Jordan and the wider Middle East who choose Georgia for its English-language, WHO/EU-recognized Medicine and Dentistry programs — such internal reorganisations can create uncertainty about curriculum continuity, accreditation status and seat allocations.
**Immediate effects for students and applicants**
Students currently enrolled may face changes in course lists, teaching staff or exam formats; applicants in the middle of admissions or awaiting visas may find offer letters and program descriptions altered. Because Georgia is a primary destination for Medicine and Dentistry (with programs often priced from around $4,000/year), prospective students should confirm that the program they applied to remains accredited and that learning outcomes align with licensing requirements in their target country (for example, eligibility to sit national licensure exams).
**Practical steps students should take now**
- Contact the admitting university immediately and request written confirmation of your programme’s status, curriculum and accreditation. Ask whether the reshuffle affects start dates or clinical attachments.
- Delay non-refundable deposits until you receive clear written information.
- Start or update your document equivalency and credential checks early — Shatnawi for College Admissions & Academic Consultations in Amman can assist with document equivalency (service fee 70 JOD) and confirming recognition for WHO/EU lists.
- If you are preparing for licensing exams (FMGE, PLAB, USMLE), verify with exam authorities whether curricular changes affect eligibility or exam content alignment.
**Alternatives and local options**
Students worried about instability should consider parallel applications. Shatnawi supports admissions across Jordan (including partner discounts: 10% registration discount at Applied Science Private University, 20% at the University of Jordan, and 25% at Jordan University of Science & Technology), as well as Turkey, Egypt and other destinations. Maintaining alternative offers in Jordan or Turkey reduces risk if Georgian programmes undergo further disruption.
