David Anthonisz, Executive Director of International Student Recruitment at SGU, stated, “We are thrilled to support South Korean students aiming to join our August/September cohort. At SGU, we are committed to advancing medical education to develop a strong medical workforce capable of meeting global healthcare demands. We eagerly anticipate guiding new students this year and facilitating their transition into rewarding international medical careers.”
SGU offers financial aid options for international students, each tailored to meet different needs and criteria. Eligible students may qualify for one or multiple scholarships. The university is dedicated to empowering its student body by honoring academic merit and student success, contributing to a diverse medical community.
Admitted students beginning their academic journey at the Chancellor Charles Modica campus in Grenada can choose from three intakes: January, April, and August, each offering different advantages. Those admitted in August align with the global academic year, allowing for seamless integration after final exams. Additionally, a partnership between SGU and Northumbria University since 2007 enables students to take part in their studies in the UK with September and January intakes.
“At SGU, we are dedicated to equipping our students with the skills and experiences needed for thriving medical careers on a global scale. Our continued commitment to supporting aspiring doctors from South Korea underscores our mission to foster inclusivity and broaden global access to medical education,” added David.
