⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5

My daughter graduated from Tbilisi State Medical University (TSMU) on 16 June 2026 after completing her medical studies there, and our experience has been excellent throughout her entire journey.

For over five years, she received quality education, professional guidance, and strong academic support from the university. The faculty members were knowledgeable, approachable, and dedicated to helping students succeed.

Importantly, neither my daughter nor our family ever experienced or observed any racism, discrimination, or unfair treatment. She always felt safe, respected, and welcomed in both the university and the city of Tbilisi.

Contrary to some negative claims seen online, my daughter experienced no situation where university authorities intentionally failed students. Academic evaluations were fair and based on student performance and preparation.

TSMU provided a great environment for learning, personal growth, and cultural exposure. We are proud that our daughter earned her medical degree from this prestigious institution and are grateful for the support she received throughout her studies.

I highly recommend TSMU to students seeking a quality medical education in a welcoming international environment.

A prestigious and well-equipped institution for medical education! 🩺📚

Tbilisi State Medical University (TSMU) is one of Georgia’s top medical schools, offering a high standard of education for both local and international students. The campus is well-maintained, with modern classrooms, laboratories, and libraries that provide an excellent learning environment.

The faculty are highly knowledgeable, supportive, and approachable, making it easier for students to understand complex medical subjects. The university also emphasizes practical learning, with well-equipped labs and clinical exposure, which is invaluable for aspiring doctors.

The administrative staff are helpful and responsive, assisting students with admissions, documentation, and other needs efficiently. The campus also has good facilities, including cafeterias, common areas, and easy access to public transport, making student life comfortable.

For international students, TSMU is very welcoming and provides necessary guidance to adapt to life in Tbilisi. Overall, it’s a highly reputable university with a strong focus on academic excellence, practical skills, and student support — a great choice for anyone pursuing a career in medicine! 🌟🩺

Very Disappointing Experience at TSMU

My experience at Tbilisi State Medical University (TSMU) has been extremely disappointing. I want to share this honestly so that other international students, especially from India, can make an informed decision.

There is a noticeable issue of racism and discrimination, both inside and outside the university. Many Indian students have faced biased behavior and unfair treatment from some professors. A few professors display clear partiality and can be quite arrogant, making it difficult for students to learn comfortably.

Another serious problem is the lack of proper English communication among some professors, which makes understanding lectures and exams very challenging for international students. Despite being promoted as an English-medium program, several subjects are not taught effectively in English.

Unfortunately, the general attitude of some locals toward Indians and people of color is also unwelcoming, and students often experience racial prejudice in public and within the university environment.

Overall, I would not recommend TSMU for students looking for a respectful, fair, and professional academic environment.
