Education Pathways Partnership Agreement
Explore this exciting educational collaboration, which benefits aspiring international medical students.
Medical University of the Americas (MUA) and Education Pathways, a technical and vocational college operating in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), are excited to announce a new partnership that provides students in the UAE, neighbouring countries and beyond with a clear pathway to a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree.
As part of this partnership, students will begin their life sciences journey with Education Pathways, where they will complete a Level 3 Diploma in Life Sciences program. This comprehensive program provides students with a deeper understanding of the essential knowledge required to pursue a medical degree, ensuring they are well-prepared to transition into MUA’s 5-Year BSc/MD Program. The program is ideal for students who have completed their secondary school education but may need additional grounding in life sciences to build the knowledge needed to succeed in medical studies. Students will not only gain academic qualifications but will also develop a commitment to lifelong learning and achievement.
The Education Pathways Life Sciences program is available both in-person and online, making it accessible to students from anywhere in the world. For more details on the program, visit Education Pathways.
Upon successful completion of this Level 3 program, students will transition into MUA’s 5-Year BSc/MD Program. Pathway participants will benefit from a streamlined application process, a guaranteed admissions interview and eligibility for up to $27,500 USD in grants and scholarships for the MD program portion. This collaboration aims to make medical education more accessible by allowing students to bypass up to four years of undergraduate studies, combined with significant financial support.
Together, Education Pathways and MUA are creating opportunities for aspiring medical students across the UAE and beyond, offering a solid foundation in life sciences that paves the way to an MD degree.
“Education Pathways is committed to providing aspiring life sciences students the chance to explore career opportunities,” said Muhamad Arsalan Yunus, Managing Director. “Part of this vision is to develop partnerships with institutes like Medical University of the Americas, where our students can pursue both a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Biomedical Science degree and a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree. We are excited to work with the team at MUA to develop this pathway, which not only will save significant time but will also reduce the cost of pursuing a world class education.”
Dona Rimanishta, Partnerships Coordinator for MUA, shared: “We are proud to have built a strong and successful relationship with Education Pathways, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration to ensure students have clear pathways into medicine. We hope this opportunity provides Education Pathways students with the chance to pursue the career of their dreams. This collaboration is seamless, as our two institutions share the same values in providing small class sizes and offering tailored support to help students achieve both their academic and personal goals. We are excited to see many students from Education Pathways join us at MUA and thrive in their medical journeys.”
Medical University of the Americas, located on the island of Nevis, provides aspiring medical doctors with education and hands-on training from dedicated faculty, access to U.S. and Canadian clinical rotations, and individualized support throughout their medical school journeys. Our MD program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM), which is recognized by the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME). We proudly help future physicians achieve their dreams and look forward to everything that Education Pathways students will achieve in medical school and throughout their future careers!
