Dubai, 09 September 2025: St. George’s University (SGU) School of Medicine in Grenada, West Indies, has signed a strategic four-year partnership with GEMS Education, one of the oldest and largest K-12 private education providers in the world.

As part of the partnership, students of 47 GEMS schools in the UAE and Qatar, who successfully complete International Baccalaureate, A-Levels or CBSE, and perform well in science subjects, will benefit from a simplified application process to SGU’s Five- or Six-Year Doctor of Medicine (MD) tracks.

In addition to easing the admissions journey, SGU will actively engage with GEMS students through a range of academic and career-focused activities.
