| Program permission: | Part I Admission to the second cycle of higher academic education (master's degree programs) is based on the results of the Unified Master's Examination or in accordance with Order No. 224/N of the Minister of Education and Science of Georgia (December 29, 2011), subject to successful completion of the B2-level English language examination (written) or possession of an internationally recognized certificate confirming English language proficiency at a minimum of B2 (Upper Intermediate) level, successful completion of the specialty examination (oral), administrative registration, and an order issued by the Rector of the University. The program admits applicants holding a bachelor's degree in one of the following fields: Physics, Physical Sciences, Engineering Physics, or Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Part II Students who have successfully completed the first 60-credit part of a master's degree program comprising at least 120 ECTS credits are eligible to continue their studies in the second part of the program. Students are entitled to continue their studies in the second 60-credit part of the program at the same higher education institution without retaking the Unified Master's Examination, provided that no more than five years have elapsed since their enrollment in the first part of the program. If the five-year period has expired or a student wishes to continue their studies at another higher education institution, admission to the second part of the program is subject to the following cumulative prerequisites: Admission to the second cycle of higher academic education (master's degree programs) is based on the results of the Unified Master's Examination or in accordance with Order No. 224/N of the Minister of Education and Science of Georgia (December 29, 2011), subject to successful completion of the B2-level English language examination (written) or possession of an internationally recognized certificate confirming English language proficiency at a minimum of B2 (Upper Intermediate) level, successful completion of the specialty examination (oral), administrative registration, and an order issued by the President of the University.
