Program permission: Enrollment of students at the first level of academic higher education (undergraduate programs) is carried out based on the results of the unified national exams or the order of the Minister of Education and Science of Georgia No. 224/N (December 29, 2011), passing administrative registration and the order of the university presidents.
Program goals:

The program aims at training archaeologists equipped with qualifications and professional competencies aligned with contemporary standards and market demands. The undergraduates will be poised to make substantive contributions and attain excellence in the sphere of researching, conserving, and presenting the nation's rich cultural heritage, all while adhering to contemporary research principles. In instances where students opt for a module in cultural heritage management, which includes the possibility of selecting an additional specialization, the program places a strong emphasis on both theoretical and practical instruction in areas such as art marketing and management, the intricacies of auctions and the global antique market, legislation pertaining to cultural heritage, project management within the cultural domain, the fundamental tenets of exhibition curation, among others. This comprehensive approach not only paves the way for careers in cultural heritage but also fosters the development of managerial acumen, rendering program graduates highly competitive within the labor market.

Consequently, a bachelor's degree holder possesses a spectrum of career prospects. They can secure positions in archaeological expeditions, within scientific research institutions (such as the Institute of History and Ethnology or the National Center of Manuscripts), museums, or governmental agencies such as the National Agency for the Protection of Cultural Heritage. Additionally, opportunities abound within non-governmental organizations operating in the relevant field. Furthermore, they may opt to pursue further academic endeavors by advancing to the master's level of education, whether it be in Archaeology or a cognate discipline such as art studies, cultural heritage management, arts management, or cultural studies. Moreover, the synergy created by amalgamating their chosen additional specialization or subject module with their primary specialization broadens the scope of their expertise and practical skills. This not only enhances their employability but also augments their prospects for career opportunities.

In addition to the main specialization, the student can choose: a module in cultural heritage management or an additional specialization. It is possible to choose an additional specialty both in the main specialty and in another school; (an additional specialty does not grant the student an academic degree, however, in combination with the main specialty, it deepens the general and sectoral competencies of the student and / or provides an opportunity to acquire certain basic knowledge, which, together with the main specialty, will form the sectoral competencies necessary for employment or continuing studies at the next level of education); The Cultural Heritage Management module provides the student with the basic knowledge and skills necessary to manage the cultural heritage field at the level of a middle manager.
