Georgian International University
Practical business degrees with an all-in admission fee.
GIU is a compact choice for business students: three English-taught programs in Tbilisi from $3,500 a year, and one admission service fee that already covers translation, notarization and the submission to the national quality center.
Why international students choose GIU
GIU concentrates on business: a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, a Bachelor’s in Tourism and a Master’s. Teaching is practical and internationally oriented, with academic support along the way.
Admission is short. You send scanned documents, take a 15-minute interview and an English writing exam (skipped if you hold B2, IELTS 5+ or a similar certificate), and the university moves on to your visa. Tuition can be paid in two installments.
