Bachelor's degree · Tbilisi, Georgia

Bachelor of Computer Science

The Bachelor of Computer Science at the University of Georgia is a four-year, eight-semester degree taught entirely in English at the university's Tbilisi campus. It combines programming fundamentals, mathematics and systems work with project-based coursework, at a tuition level that keeps a full English-language computing degree within reach for students who would otherwise study in Western Europe or North America.

Who this program suits

This suits students who enjoy problem-solving and are willing to write code most weeks, including those with no formal programming background but solid school-level mathematics. It also fits students who want an English-taught degree in a low-cost European city. It is less suitable if you dislike mathematics, want a purely design- or business-focused technology course, or expect a programme that can be completed largely without independent practice outside class.

What you study

Programming fundamentals and object-oriented development
Data structures, algorithms and computational problem-solving
Discrete mathematics, calculus and probability for computing
Databases, operating systems and computer networks
Software engineering, web and application development
Final-year project work applying skills to a practical problem

Where it leads

Junior software developer or backend/frontend engineer
Database administrator or data analyst
Systems, network or IT support specialist
QA and software testing roles
Master's study in computer science, data science or cybersecurity

What it costs

Tuition is $4,000 per year, so the four-year degree comes to $16,000 in fees. Living in Tbilisi typically runs about $300–450 a month for shared or modest rented accommodation, food, transport and mobile data, which puts a realistic annual budget in the region of $7,600–9,400 including tuition.

What the university asks for

The university asks for your high school certificate and A-Level certificates (or their equivalent), a clear scan of your passport, and evidence of English language proficiency where this applies to your background. Documents usually need to be translated and legalised for use in Georgia, so start collecting them early — the next intake is Spring 2026.

Questions students ask

Do I need programming experience before starting?

No. The first semesters begin with programming fundamentals and assume no prior coding. What helps far more is comfort with school mathematics, since discrete maths, calculus and probability run alongside the technical subjects and underpin the algorithms courses later in the degree.

Is the whole four years taught in English?

Yes. All eight semesters of this programme are delivered in English, including lectures, assignments and assessment. You do not need Georgian to complete the degree, although basic Georgian is useful for everyday life in Tbilisi and for part-time work or internships.

When does the Spring 2026 intake start and when should I apply?

Teaching for the Spring 2026 intake begins early in the year. Apply several months ahead: document legalisation, translation and the student visa or residence process each take time, and places on English-taught programmes are confirmed only once your paperwork is complete.
