What we can confirm
- Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000604) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
- 2 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.6★ — read the full text below before deciding.
Verify before you pay anyone
- Only a handful of reviews are on file so far — enough for a first impression, not enough to generalise. Try to speak directly with more than one current student before deciding.
- Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Belgium yourself before paying anything.
- Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
- A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
- Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.
This panel is generated from data on this page (WDOMS listing and student reviews) plus general precautions that apply to any MBBS admission abroad — it is not a claim, positive or negative, about this specific college beyond what's shown here.
