Program permission: Admission of students to the second cycle of academic higher education (master’s programs) is carried out on the basis of the results of the Unified Master’s Examinations or, in accordance with Order No. 224/N of the Minister of Education and Science of Georgia (December 29, 2011), on the basis of successfully passing an examination in the English language (written) and in the specialty (oral), administrative registration, and an order of the Rector. At the same time, upon successful completion of the first 60-credit part of a master’s program comprising at least 120 credits, a student has the right to continue their studies at the second 60-credit part of the program at the same higher educational institution without retaking the Unified Master’s Examination, provided that no more than 5 years have elapsed since admission to the first part. In the event of the expiration of the 5-year period or continuation of studies at/from another higher educational institution, admission of students is carried out on the basis of the results of the Unified Master’s Examinations or, in accordance with Order No. 224/N of the Minister of Education and Science of Georgia (December 29, 2011), on the basis of successfully passing an examination in the English language (written) and in the specialty (oral), administrative registration, and an order of the Rector.
Program goals:

Part I - The purpose of the first part of the program is to develop the field-specific knowledge, practical skills, and professional competencies necessary for the field of computer science. This part covers the areas of data science, algorithmic thinking, software systems architecture, databases, network technologies, and cybersecurity. The first part of the program is focused on preparing the student to understand modern technological challenges, use relevant tools, and effectively solve practical/professional problems. 

Part II
The purpose of the second part of the program is to develop the student’s skills in planning and conducting independent research in the field of computer science and critically analyzing the results. This part is focused on the application of research methodology, preparation of a scientific paper in compliance with academic standards, presenting research results in an argumentative manner, and making professional/academic decisions based on evidence-based analysis.
