Program goals:

The primary goal of the undergraduate program in Georgian Philology is to furnish students with an education that equips them to forge successful careers. This education encompasses the acquisition of comprehensive interdisciplinary knowledge pertaining to the fields of humanities and philology. It introduces students to the primary purpose and significance of literary and linguistic research, thereby cultivating their capacity to engage in thorough analysis and critical evaluation of literary works. Furthermore, the program imparts the skills necessary for students to engage in meaningful discourse, commentary, and interpretation of literary works within historical and cultural contexts. An essential component of the curriculum involves the study of the structural evolution and historical development of the Georgian language. Moreover, the program strives to cultivate proficiency in the English language, thereby enabling effective communication skills. Practical competencies in the fields of linguistics and literary studies are also developed. This comprehensive educational framework is designed to facilitate an understanding of Georgian literature and culture within the broader context of European civilization.

Additionally, the program aspires to prepare undergraduates for diverse career paths, including but not limited to the fields of mass media and publishing, as well as positions within public, private, and non-governmental organizations. Further qualifications obtained through advanced study and research can enable undergraduates to pursue scientific research and teaching endeavors. The broad-based humanities and philological education, coupled with the opportunities for research activities, empowers undergraduates not only to specialize in Georgian philology but also to explore other domains within the purview of the humanities and social sciences.

Furthermore, the program aims at instilling in its students a profound sense of scholarly integrity and ethical conduct. This, in turn, is intended to contribute to the cultivation of civic consciousness and the promotion of democratic ideals within society through dedicated and highly professional engagement.

Program details:

In addition to the compulsory subjects that form competence, the program has two blocks of university-compulsory elective subjects - social/humanitarian and STEM blocks, specialty elective subjects and free credits (a student who has a low score in the English language on the unified national exams and needs to improve the language can take free credits or choose any other subject); In addition to the major specialty, a student can choose a minor program). It is possible to choose a minor program both in the major-specialty providing school and in another school; (a minor program does not grant the student an academic degree, however, in combination with a major specialty, it strengthens the student's general and professional competencies and / or provides the opportunity to acquire certain basic knowledge, which, along with the major specialty, will form the professional competencies requisite for employment or copursuing studies at the next level of education).

The program is meticulously designed to account for the individualization of students' language competencies. Specifically, students start learning the English language at a proficiency level relevant to the assessed knowledge evidenced by the unified national examinations and internal assessments.

The maximum raw score determined on the unified national exam:

  • If 63% is obtained, the student is admitted at the B1/1 level of English;
  • in case of receiving 64% to 86% - at B1/2 level;
  • In case of receiving 87% to 100% - at B2/1 level.
  • In case of receiving more than 93%, the student is given a language proficiency test, and if the threshold score is achieved, the student will be able to register at the B2/2 level of English. If the student does not pass the threshold, he/she will be admitted to the B2/1 level.
  • In case of obtaining more than 93%, if the student does not appear for the test, he/she will be admitted to the B2/1 level.
Teaching Process Characteristics:

To obtain a bachelor's degree in Georgian philology, a student must accumulate 240 credits comprising:

  • Competence-forming compulsory subjects – 132 ECTS (including English language B 2/2 6 ECTS);
  • 30 ECTS of university compulsory-optional blocks (18 ECTS from the social/humanitarian block and 12 ECTS from the STEM block),
  • free credit 18 ECTS;
  • 60 ECTS for minor-program subjects.
