About the university
BAU presents a focused medical-school environment rather than a broad multidisciplinary campus. Official materials describe a busy timetable, a multicultural student cohort, well-equipped labs and library spaces, and day-to-day contact with student support staff.
The university is based in Batumi at the Iris Borchashvili Health Center Medina campus. Its official guide talks about Batumi in practical student terms such as budgeting and daily life rather than making broad lifestyle promises.
BAU publicly says its Student Services Department handles academic guidance, status-related help, student integration, clubs, trainings, and events. The university also lists named staff for first aid and mental health first aid.

Teaching phases
BAU's official medicine page says the 6-year MD includes simulation-based training from early study and clinical visits from the first semester.
The official medicine page says most clinical courses are taught on rotation, students develop practical skills through partner-clinic work, and the sixth year is largely devoted to clinical practice.
Year-wise cost breakdown
Research & verification
The official annual tuition is published in USD on BAU's admissions page, with semester payment terms also stated there. The total tuition is calculated from the official annual fee multiplied by the official 6-year duration. BAU's student guide estimates living in Batumi at about USD 500-600 per month, but the university does not publish one fixed annual living-cost figure for all students.

Who it's right for
Why students choose it
- The medicine page publishes a structured six-year English MD with 360 ECTS and explicit simulation and clinical training components.
- Official materials say clinical exposure begins from the first semester and intensifies through rotations and final-year practice.
- Fees are clearly published in USD: USD 6,500 per year, payable USD 3,250 per semester.
Things to consider
- BAU officially says it does not currently provide accommodation for students.
- The university is highly medicine-focused, so students wanting a broader multi-faculty campus ecosystem may prefer a different setup.
- Official cost-of-living guidance is presented only as an estimate, so applicants should build a real housing budget before committing.
Best fit for
- Students who want a medical-only environment in Batumi with early clinic exposure.
- Applicants who like simulation-heavy teaching and structured clinical rotations.
- Families comfortable arranging private housing instead of depending on a university hostel.
Recognition
Recognition should always be cross-checked against the current admissions cycle, especially when students are comparing language pathway, licensing fit, and long-term clinical planning.
