About the School
St. George's University (SGU) School of Medicine is one of the largest and longest-running international medical schools in the Caribbean, founded in 1976 on the True Blue campus in Grenada. It offers a four-year MD programme that combines basic-science terms in Grenada with clinical clerkships across a large network of affiliated teaching hospitals in the United States and the United Kingdom. SGU also operates pre-medical and combined-degree pathways, and enrolls students from more than 140 countries, giving it a distinctly international student body. Accreditation of the MD programme is overseen by the Grenada Medical and Dental Council (GMDC), Grenada's national medical accreditation authority, which is recognised by the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME). Prospective applicants should confirm current programme structure, tuition, and clinical rotation availability directly on the school's official website.

Tuition
Tuition Breakdown
SGU publishes separate tuition and fee schedules based on programme track and academic stage. Applicants should link to the current schedule and separate tuition from administrative fees, health insurance, housing and living expenses. A single universal total is misleading because costs differ across SGU's four-, five-, six- and seven-year entry tracks. Confirm the figures that apply to your track before enrolling.
