Kutaisi International University (KIU) admitted its first students this year.

KIU Campus spans out at 153 ha and comprises state-of-the-art academic buildings, libraries, cafeterias, streamlined infrastructure, common working spaces, dorms and accommodation buildings for the faculty.

The Idea for the creation of KIU comes from Bidzina Ivanishvili and his family. Cartu Fund is investing over 1 billion Euros in the implementation of the project.

Eligibility criteria of KIU are one of the most challenging among the higher education institutions currently operating in Georgia and they are compatible with those of the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

According to the rating scores, computer science is the most popular program at KIU. One of the priorities of the university is to increase the engagement of women in exact science and nature studies.

KIU cooperates with a leading European higher education institution - Munich Technical University (TUM) - and its programs are designed according to the operating model of TUM. KIU conveys knowledge in the English language through Georgian and European professors and teachers.
