The university is open to all students, regardless of race, nationality, or creed. International applicants should check the official website for programme-specific entry requirements, required documents, deadlines, and how recognition of prior study is handled before applying.
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.
English is the main language of instruction, and some courses are offered in Armenian and Arabic. Before applying, confirm the language required for the programme you want, visa steps, housing, health cover, and whether your previous qualifications are accepted for entry.
Lebanon has 24 universities. Haigazian stands out within that group for combining English-medium teaching with some Armenian and Arabic course options, and for offering arts, sciences, business administration, and economics rather than a broader full-university catalogue.
