Exchange Program Opens Door to Dublin for Georgian Students

Georgian students are being offered a chance to study in one of Ireland’s leading universities as part of an exciting new exchange program after Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with University College Dublin (UCD).

The Memorandum outlined details of cooperation between the universities and the introduction of exchange programs for students and researchers, as well as academic staff.

“This is a very important step taken forward between Georgia and Ireland in the field of education. We are pleased that the students will be given the opportunity, under an exchange program, to study at one of Europe’s leading universities, broaden their knowledge and learn valuable experiences. This will guarantee their future success,” said Charge d’Affaires of Ireland Giogri Zurabishvili.

A media release announcing the deal did not state when the exchange would begin or how many students it would involve. “It is a great opportunity for us, we can improve our skills and share our culture with international students, I am very glad that the world is expanding for Georgian students who wish to study abroad,” said TSU student, Mariam Abashidze.
