Free University of Tbilisi: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Free University of Tbilisi is a public university in Georgia. It suits students who want an institution with undergraduate and graduate study across several fields, especially if they are considering international relations, business, architecture, governance and social sciences, mathematics and computer science, physics, electrical and computer engineering, law, or visual arts and design.

  2. What you can study

    Study options include undergraduate and graduate programmes through seven schools: School of International Relations, School of Business, Architecture, Governance and Social Sciences, Mathematics and Computer Science, Physics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Law, and School of Visual Arts and Design. The School of International Relations is the university’s oldest school. The programme catalogue should be checked on the university website for the current list, entry routes, and any special requirements.

  3. Getting in

    International students should apply through the university’s admissions process and check the official website for current entry requirements, deadlines, required documents, and any programme-specific conditions. If a programme has separate academic or language requirements, those should be confirmed directly with admissions before applying.

  4. What it costs

    Tuition is listed in USD, but the university does not publish a fee range here; confirm the current cost with its admissions office. Living costs in Tbilisi will still depend on housing, transport, food, and personal spending, so budget separately for those.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not stated, so confirm it before applying, along with any language test or preparation requirements. Also check visa steps, document legalization or translation rules, whether your chosen school has extra admissions conditions, and how you will pay tuition from abroad.

  6. How it compares

    Among Georgia’s 15 universities, Free University of Tbilisi stands out for its broad mix of schools across both technical and non-technical subjects. If you want a university in Georgia with options in business, law, computing, engineering, and the arts, it gives more than a single-specialist path, but you should compare it directly with other Georgian universities on programme fit and admissions requirements.

Written from this university's catalogue entry and its cited encyclopedia summary. Figures are only shown where the institution or a cited source publishes them — always confirm fees and entry requirements with the university itself before applying.
