have you checked if the uni is recognized by the GMC?
there are many European med schools, that are recognised and aren't in a developing country. May i redirect you to Malta, Milan, Prague, Spain (if you can afford it), Poland, Hungary etc

Unless you currently live in Somalia or some other nearby country I can't really understand why you'd willingly go to Sudan for med school - especially when you don't even speak the language.

Sudan is one of the poorest countries in the world...what do you think the quality of education and healthcare there is going to be like?

Just...why? :confused:

It is recognised by the GMC actually . I have looked at Bulgaria and Romania in Eastern Europe. I am applying to Sudan , Bulgaria and Romania .

Sigh.
Are you sure you haven't exhausted your options towards getting into, ahem, 'better' medical schools? Even if the quality of education were as good, which is isn't, the region is exceptionally unstable and dangerous for Western visitors. I don't know if you're based in the UK or not, but if you are, it is common place for hostage taking to occur.

The capital, where the school is based, is safer than surrounding regions (particularly the South) but it is by no means assured to be safe.

Furthermore, you don't speak the language which will make things even more difficult. In addition, upon graduating, you may find that the foundation programme has changed (seems to be heading in that direction) meaning you may not be able to enter FY1 training here, making your degree useless in the UK until you get some other form of basic training.

Think carefully.
