A master’s degree should guarantee the formation of a specialist who will be competitive in both the domestic and international labor markets, have extensive theoretical knowledge, and pertinent specialty competencies, and be prepared for autonomous, highly qualified professional activity.

According to Georgian legislation (Minister’s Order N224/N), an individual holding a bachelor’s degree or an equivalent academic credential is eligible to enroll in a master’s program based on completing common master’s exams or without passing common master’s exams. One more prerequisite for enrollment in the master’s program is:

The academic curriculum allows for the accrual of 120 ECTS credits. 1 credit is equal to 25-30 astronomical hours, and 1 astronomical hour is equal to 60 minutes. Credit is given for both contact and independent work. A credit in hours is the amount of effort necessary by a student to master one component of the program and achieve the learning outcomes.

A single academic year has two semesters, autumn and spring, totaling forty-eight weeks, of which 38 are dedicated to academic and sessional work, four weeks to supplementary examinations (two weeks for each semester), and one week to Christmas break.

The master’s student should earn 30 credits on average per semester and 60 credits annually; however, the number of credits earned per year may vary from 60 to 75, depending on the program’s details and the student’s workload.
