Georgia Study Visa
Studying in Georgia for international students
Georgia is located at the crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe. Georgia is a good study option for students who are interested in a rich cultural experience and the adventure of exploring an interesting nation that continues to balance its relations between Russia and the EU. There are over 60 higher educational institutions recognised by the state, with numbers of private accredited universities higher than public ones. Institutions are divided in: universities and teaching universities that include bachelors, masters and PhD programmes; and colleges that integrate only bachelors and higher professional education programmes.
