GTU has 14 faculties: Civil Engineering; Energy; Mining and Geology; Sustainable Mountain Development; Chemical Technology and Metallurgy; Transportation and Mechanical Engineering; Architecture, Urban Planning and Design; Law and International Relations; Informatics and Control Systems; International School of Design; Agricultural Technologies and Biosystems Engineering; Business Technologies; Engineering Economics, Media Technologies and Social Sciences; Faculty of Medicine. Also, Georgian Technical University has 14 research institutes, one centre, and multiple modern laboratories. The English-language Bachelor's programme of the Faculty of Informatics and Control Systems of Georgian Technical University - "Biomedical Engineering," has, for the first time in the history of the university, gained full international accreditation from the American Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). On the basis of ABET accreditation, graduates of the English-language Bachelor's programme in biomedical engineering at GTU will be awarded a diploma with international recognition, which will be as competitive in any country of the world as international diplomas issued by leading universities in America, Europe, or Asia. GTU offers 36 undergraduate programmes that are entirely financed by the state. At the same time, GTU allows the exact number of spots available for educational programmes, as many students as it can accept. Partners of Georgian Technical University include the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), Japan High Energy Accelerator Research Organisation (KEK), Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California, Yale, Bern, Glasgow, and other universities. Construction Management, Mechanical Engineering, Geodesy, Chemical and Biological Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Sustainable Development of the Mountain Rural Environment, Sustainable Tourism and Hospitality Management, Management of Organic Farming Systems of Mountainous Regions; Natural hazards, Sustainable Environment and Protection — these are the educational programmes that are taught only at Georgian Technical University. As a result, graduates from these programmes are uncompetitive in today's labour market. ...view more
