Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about studying abroad with Future Factory: costs, visas, medical degrees, admissions and student life.
Do I need to know Georgian to study in Georgia?
No. Most programs we recommend are taught entirely in English. While learning basic Georgian will help with daily life, it is not required for your studies. Many universities offer free Georgian language classes for international students.
Are Georgian medical degrees recognised internationally?
Yes. Georgian medical universities are recognised by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), and the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India. Graduates are eligible to practise in the UK (PLAB), USA (USMLE), India (NEXT/FMGE), and many other countries.
How much does it cost to study in Georgia?
Tuition fees range from $2,500 to $8,000 per year depending on the university and program. Living costs in Georgia are very affordable — approximately $300–$500 per month for accommodation, food, and transport combined.
What is the visa process for studying in Georgia?
International students need a student visa (D3) or residence permit. The process involves submitting your university acceptance letter, passport, financial proof, and other documents. Future Factory handles the entire visa process for you, and it typically takes 2–4 weeks.
Can I work while studying in Georgia?
International students on a student residence permit can work part-time in Georgia. However, we recommend focusing on your studies, especially in the first year. Some universities offer on-campus work opportunities and paid internships.
Does Future Factory charge students for its services?
Our core consultation services are free for students. We earn through partnerships with universities, not by charging students. You get expert guidance, application support, visa assistance, and accommodation help at no cost to you.
What countries does Future Factory help students study in?
We currently specialise in Georgia, Uzbekistan, and Canada, with expanding partnerships across Europe and the UK. We also help students explore transfer pathways to UK universities and EU institutions.
How early should I start the application process?
We recommend starting 3–6 months before your intended intake. Georgian universities have two main intakes: Fall (September) and Spring (February). Starting early gives you ample time for applications, visa processing, and accommodation arrangements.
