TESTIMONIALS
“After brainstorming myself, finally I decided to do a Master of Business Administration where I can verify and learn best practices for business administration in a more practical way.
I searched for universities and approached them one of those was Ilia State University where I found all the course content matching what I wanted to do. I was under the impression that being an international student and setting in another country, it may be difficult to communicate and enroll, but I found it very smooth, easy and quick communication. I am thankful to the Ilia State University international coordination team, who supported me throughout the procedure.
I am most happy with teaching techniques and the way execution is done by professors. Yes, all the professors are full of knowledge and practical experience. They all are working in managerial positions in relevant fields, so they share their practical experience and knowledge. Also with some other activities and guest lecturers I think I got all what I expect from Ilia state university.
I strongly recommend my friends and contacts, if they are willing to study abroad they should join Ilia State University.
Yes! Georgian and other International classmates are really supportive, co-operative.
Georgian people are very welcoming, kind, helping nature and very friendly. Georgia country is also beautiful, safe and lively."

“It was amazing to study at Ilia State University and lots of good memories will remain with me. There were many well-known and knowledgeable professors who not only provided the academic lessons but also shared a lot of work and life experiences throughout the courses which was a huge take away from the education process for me. In addition, the staff of the University were very friendly, helpful and supportive especially during the unexpected circumstances and difficult situations. They openly helped me in study related issues in addition to other problems regarding the student life in the city. Moreover, I had the chance to meet many good students from other countries as well as Georgians and make good friends. Meanwhile, I enjoyed the beautiful city of Tbilisi and had a great time living there”.

“My experience at Ilia State University was a very perfect and enjoyable one as I had a chance to learn so much knowledge and skills from great and very reputable professors. The community and staff were so welcoming and supportive for international students and I felt really comfortable being away from home. They were like friends that I could openly talk to about my issues. The campus life was also so fantastic since other students were really friendly and of a great help. Even during COVID time, the university did an excellent job of transitioning the course to online learning, as we had frequent contact with the university, weekly emails and meeting with our lecturers. I am very happy with my choice; it is a brilliant university in an incredible city. Overall, if I could go back, I would definitely choose ISU again with pleasure.”

“I´m the first German participant of the new exchange relationship between Ilia state university and the University of Siegen (Germany). I stayed for four months in Tbilisi/Georgia and studied at the faculty of social science. I chose lectures in English and we were small groups (5-6 students) in the master program which allowed us to discuss topics deeply in a familiar atmosphere. The buildings of the Ilia University are very modern with comfortable desks in the library. The staff of the office of foreign relations helped me to find an affordable accommodation near the university. Most young people and lecturers speak good English, hospitality and helpfulness are always great. Tbilisi offers a vibrant nightlife with lots of concerts, bars or clubs. I enjoyed my Erasmus plus experience at Ilia state university very much and I´m going to come back to Georgia.”

“The Erasmus Exchange in Georgia was one of the best experiences of my life. I have polish roots but I have had chance to study in Italy for my Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees programme. Having this foreign Italian experience, I could easily make some comparison and I was very positively surprised to find Georgian University and its’ Professors very well prepared. Professors are passionate persons, great English speakers with international working experience, and what is the most important for a student, always very helpful in any kind of projects problem. A great team is also represented by the stuff of Foreign Relations Office, lovely women who were always available for any kind of help.
Georgian students are the best ones who you can meet while staying on your Erasmus exchange! They are open, always ready to find any opportunity to have fun, and in case of troubles, they are the first ones who will find any solution to solve your problem.
The same as Georgian students are Georgian people. They are lovely open persons, trying to give their hearts in their open hands. Georgian cuisine, Georgian wine and landscapes just have made me fall in love with this country.”
