St. George’s University Invites African Students to Apply for January 2025 Intake

St. George’s University (SGU) School of Medicine in Grenada, West Indies, is now accepting applications from African students for its January 2025 intake. The university offers three flexible intakes—January, April, and August—at its True Blue campus, allowing students to begin their medical education at a time that aligns with their academic and personal schedules.

Through its partnership with Northumbria University in the UK, SGU also offers students the option to start their studies in Newcastle with September and January intakes. This unique arrangement exposes students to both Caribbean and UK medical systems, providing them with a global perspective and enhancing their career prospects.

The January intake provides students with several key advantages. By starting earlier than the traditional fall intake, students gain quicker access to clinical rotations and residencies, allowing them to complete their medical training sooner. The smaller cohort size in January creates a more personalized learning experience, fostering stronger mentorship and closer interaction with faculty. The intake also offers flexibility for students who may not follow a traditional academic timeline, such as those coming from gap years, career transitions, or December graduates.

David Anthonisz, Executive Director of International Student Recruitment at SGU, emphasized the benefits of the January intake, saying, “Our January intake is designed for those eager to begin their medical education without delay, ensuring they can pursue their ambitions on a timeline that suits them.”

St. George’s University promises a comprehensive medical education that prepares students to meet the modern demands of healthcare. Students are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to succeed in the medical field, ultimately contributing to healthcare systems around the world.
