Before you apply: five checks for this college

  1. Confirm the World Directory entry F0001872 yourself at wdoms.org; the entry describes the school as it reported itself, not its recognition anywhere.

What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001872) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 20 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.6★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Lebanon 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.
