This collaboration seeks to empower the realms of healthcare and education by harnessing the collective strengths and expertise of both organisations. 
 
With a shared dedication to fostering innovation and achieving remarkable results, this partnership further strives to cultivate a vibrant and influential landscape in these crucial domains of health professions’ education. 
 
University of London International Foundation Programme (Medical)
As part of the tie-up, Thumbay Group's Gulf Medical University (GMU) is set to host the University of London International Foundation Programme (Medical) with a specialised focus on Medicine within the Thumbay Medicity campus. 
 
This nine-month programme, known as the University of London International Foundation Programme (Medical), aims to offer students an exceptional pathway into various undergraduate degree programmes, encompassing fields such as Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Sciences, Physiotherapy, Nursing, Midwifery, Pharmacy, and Nutrition.
 
"We are immensely proud to be associated with supporting this exceptional University of London programme at GMU," stated Prof Hossam Hamdy, Chancellor of Gulf Medical University. "This not only expands our global presence but also provides students with a remarkable opportunity to gain seamless access to the programmes offered by GMU."
 
Acclaimed worldwide for its exceptional teaching standards and rigorous academic curriculum, the University of London's International Foundation Programme stands as a beacon of excellence. This programme equips students with invaluable skills, serving as a stepping stone towards successful admission into renowned universities around the world. From prestigious institutions in the UAE to esteemed establishments in Europe, Asia, and America, this programme helps in unlocking top-tier educational opportunities.
 
Distinctive advantage
The Foundation Programme, which is set to be taught at GMU, provides a distinctive advantage by offering comprehensive preparation for the BMAT and UCAT exams, crucial prerequisites for medical and dental programmes in the UK and other nations. Upon successful completion of this tailored programme, students will receive a certificate of completion from the University of London and an International A-Level Certification from LRN-UK. Moreover, extensive guidance and support for the UCAT and BMAT exams will be provided.
 
Lynne Roberts, IFP Director, University of London Worldwide elaborated on the programme, stating that the IFP has been designed to ensure that students achieve high academic standards and gain both the skills and intellectual curiosity necessary to succeed at university. “We are proud of our graduates who have gone on to study with University of London programmes around the world, as well as on-campus at some of the best universities in the UK and other countries. We look forward to giving students more opportunities through the new GEMS-recognised teaching centers in the Middle East," Roberts explained. 
 
The Medical Foundation Programme is scheduled to commence in September 2023, with applications set to open in June 2023. The programme welcomes applications from students who currently hold A-levels, International Baccalaureate (IB), or equivalent Grade 12 qualifications.
 
Meanwhile, expressing his pride in the robust relationship between GEMS Middle East and the University of London, Dr Amir Saadati, Executive Director of GEMS Middle East, also highlighted the strategic partnership with Thumbay Group.
