Bachelor's degree · Tbilisi, Georgia

Bachelor's Program in Artificial Intelligence

This is a four-year, English-taught bachelor's degree at the University of Georgia in Tbilisi built around machine learning, programming and data — the mathematical and software foundations behind modern AI systems. It is worth considering because you get a full computing degree taught entirely in English at $4,000 a year, in a capital city where a student can live comfortably on a modest monthly budget.

Who this program suits

This suits a school-leaver who enjoys mathematics and problem-solving and wants to write code rather than only talk about AI. You should be comfortable with algebra, logic and long debugging sessions. It is a poor fit if you dislike mathematics, hoped for a purely theoretical or philosophy-of-AI course, or want a short vocational qualification — this is a full four-year, eight-semester degree with substantial programming coursework.

What you study

Programming fundamentals, data structures and algorithms
Linear algebra, probability, statistics and discrete mathematics
Machine learning methods, from regression to neural networks
Databases, data processing and working with large datasets
Computer systems, operating systems and networks
A final-year project applying AI techniques to a practical problem

Where it leads

Junior machine learning or data engineer
Software developer working on data-driven products
Data analyst in finance, logistics, telecoms or e-commerce
AI/automation specialist inside a non-technical company
Master's study in artificial intelligence, data science or computer science

What it costs

Tuition is $4,000 per year, so roughly $16,000 across the four years. On top of that, students in Tbilisi typically spend about $300–450 a month on rent, food, transport and phone, which works out at around $3,600–5,400 a year. Budget separately for travel, residence permit steps and a laptop capable of running your coursework.

What the university asks for

The University of Georgia asks for your high school certificate and A-Level certificates where you have them, a scan of your passport, and evidence of English language proficiency if it applies to your case. Teaching is entirely in English, so you should be able to follow lectures and technical reading in English from the first semester. The next intake is Spring 2026.

Questions students ask

Do I need programming experience before I start?

No. The programme begins with programming fundamentals and builds up from there. What matters more is comfort with school-level mathematics, since linear algebra, probability and statistics underpin the machine learning courses you take in later semesters.

Is everything really taught in English?

Yes, the AI bachelor's is delivered in English across all eight semesters, so you do not need Georgian to study. Many students still pick up some Georgian for daily life in Tbilisi, but it is not part of the degree requirement.

When does the next group start?

The next intake is Spring 2026. Because document checks and travel arrangements take time, it is sensible to have your high school and A-Level certificates and passport scan ready well before the semester begins.
