Why must student complete 6 years at new vision medical school, Tbilisi

General Medical Council did not have the information requested.

Dear General Medical Council,

Could you please kindly explain the reason as to why Students who are obtaining a PMQ from New vision medical school must complete it in 6 years when, based on information from the WDMS it clearly states students can obtain the degree in 5 years based on 75 ECTS up until the end of 2023. New vision clearly meets your criteria of 5,500 hours and if a student can complete the entire course in 5 years based on 75 ECTS a year and the entire 360 ECTS, what is the issue?

Yours faithfully,
