Why international students choose ABU

That saves time and money before you apply, because you do not need a Georgian translator for your diploma and transcript.

Send IELTS (5.5 or higher), TOEFL or CAE at B2 if you have one. After the admission and recognition process the university issues your enrollment decree and visa-support documents. There is no invitation fee, tuition is paid in full each year, and it is refunded if your visa is refused.
