What we can confirm
- Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002898) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
- 1 rated student review on file here, averaging 5.0★ — 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 Australia 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.
