Program details:

The program enables students to accumulate 96 ECTS through minor programs, elective courses and/or free elective courses, apart from the humanitarian-social and STEM blocks. The program considers the different competencies of students in the English language. Namely, the student starts the English language from the stage that corresponds to his knowledge, which is determined based on the assessment obtained from the unified national exams: if the student's score is placed in the interval [0-50]-A2; if the student's score is placed in the gap [51-75]- B1/1 If the student's score is in the interval (76-100)-B1/2, the student who has not passed the English language is given a placement test to determine the level and then they are registered at the appropriate level, not higher than B1/2.

Teaching Process Characteristics:

To obtain a bachelor's academic degree, a student needs to accumulate 240 ECTS, which implies 18 ECTS from the humanitarian-social block and 12 ECTS from the STEM block, 114 ECTS from the program core subjects; 18 ECTS from free elective credits; 78 ECTS can be selected and accumulated within the program elective and marketing communication and/or PR strategy and campaign electives. This change only applies to students enrolled after 2021. The teaching language of the program is Georgian, with separate English-language components. Accordingly, all components are taught mainly in Georgian, except for those courses where English-language literature is used.
