**Georgia's university faculty reshuffle** announced this week has drawn public criticism from academics and student groups, and created fresh uncertainty for international applicants to Georgian medicine and dentistry programs. OC Media reports that the changes involve reorganising faculties and departments across several universities, measures critics say were rushed and lack transparent consultation.
For students from Jordan and the wider Middle East — many of whom choose Georgia for English‑medium, WHO/EU‑recognized medical and dental degrees — the practical question is whether programs, faculty rosters or accreditation status will change before the next intake. Georgia remains a primary destination in our region for Medicine & Dentistry, with English‑medium options in Batumi and Tbilisi and annual tuition starting from roughly $4,000 per year, but administrative changes can affect course delivery, supervision and clinical placements.
What students should do now: verify accreditation and recognition, request written confirmation of faculty and clinical training arrangements, and delay non‑refundable payments until universities issue clear statements. Also check deadlines: if you have a pending offer or plan to apply for the coming intake, contact your chosen university to confirm enrollment dates and document requirements. If you plan to return to Jordan later, remember to secure official transcripts and be prepared to use equivalency services — Shatnawi offers document equivalency processing (service fee: 70 JOD).
Alternatives and contingency planning: applicants who prefer greater immediate certainty may consider Jordanian options — Shatnawi partners with local universities including Applied Science Private University (10% registration discount for Shatnawi students), the University of Jordan (20% discount), and Jordan University of Science & Technology (25% discount). We also support applications to Turkey, Egypt, the UK and other destinations if students want to broaden options.
How we can help: Shatnawi for College Admissions & Academic Consultations can contact Georgian universities on your behalf to confirm program status, check WHO/EU recognition, and compare timelines. We also provide scholarship matching, exam preparation (IELTS, SAT, IB, AP), and admissions counselling for Georgia and alternative destinations. For urgent questions, students should contact us promptly to avoid missed deadlines.
