Students matriculated into the St. George’s University School of Medicine/Northumbria University Four-Year MD Program (SGU/NU Program), given in conjunction with Northumbria University (NU) in Newcastle, United Kingdom, complete the Basic Principles of Medicine Terms 1 and 2 in the first academic year of the Four-Year Doctor of Medicine program in the United Kingdom. Upon successfully meeting the required standards for Terms 1 and 2, students then proceed to their second academic year at St. George’s University in Grenada. This also applies to students who take a leave of absence (LOA) or repeat coursework. This means that students remain in the United Kingdom (or return there if on LOA) until they are promoted into Term 3 when they proceed to Grenada.
NOTE: Students who matriculate into the first year of the four-year MD program in Grenada do not have the option of matriculating into the SGU/NU Program for part of the first year of their program.
