- Newcastle has been the
most amazing experience.
I always wanted to study in the UK.
It's almost like home away from home.
- We have been working in partnership
with Northumbria University
in Newcastle, England
for over a decade.
You can actually spend the first year
of our four year medical
curriculum in Newcastle.
- There is a reputation of UK education,
and we really feel
comfortable with the fact
that we have this partnership
with a established university
from Newcastle in developing this program.
- It gives you a perfect combination
of doing one year of school in the UK,
one year of school in Grenada,
and then your clinical rotation's either
in North America or the UK.
- Foreign students looking to train
in the United States understand that
very very few spots are
available in US medical schools
for training.
So our UK program will
give them new opportunities
so they can match up to
US residency programs.
- Here in the UK, I'm in constant contact
with my colleagues in Grenada to deliver
exactly the same program as
we have the same learning
objectives and outcomes.
- The curriculum is very rigorous,
and we do incorporate all
fields into every single module.
- We have class sizes
that allows our students
to have a direct contact with faculty,
and I think that helps students have
a better educational experience overall.
- Another advantage of SGU in Newcastle,
by being able to shadow clinician
and access to the selective
programs and hospital here.
- I'll be going to hospitals,
and actually getting to see the diseases
that I'm learning about
in a real life scenario
with patients.
That's a program that's
only specific to Newcastle.

- Newcastle is a vibrant city
with almost 60,000 students.
It was rated one of the best
cities to visit in the world
by the Rough Guide.
- Housing is great, everyone
has their own bedroom,
bathroom, and then you just
share a common kitchen,
which is very nice.
- I've got to say that these are some
of the best dorms I've seen.
- One of the great delights
about being involved
with SGU Newcastle is that
I can follow the progression
of the students who've been here.
It's been a huge success story.
- SGU is helping me fulfill
my dream, absolutely.
It's tough work, but it's fulfilling.
