6 findings

  2. What you can study

    Students can study at bachelor's level in the arts and sciences, business administration, and economics, and at master's level in the arts, sciences, and business administration. English is the main language of instruction, with some courses also offered in Armenian and Arabic.

  3. Getting in

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee range; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Beirut will depend on housing, transport, food, and personal spending, so budget separately for those.

  6. How it compares
