The Georgian Technical University is the first institution of the engineering education not only in Georgia, but also in the South Caucasus region. The Georgian Technical University (former Georgian Polytechnical Institute) was founded in 1922, since that time, the contribution of the university graduates in the formation of the region’s economy and public consciousness is very important, and contribution of the Georgian Technical University in the development of engineering and technical sciences is invaluable.

Thanks to the Institute of Space Structures of Georgian Technical University the first Georgian space object - Reflector was put into orbit on July 23, 1999. This was the beginning of a new technologies in the World Cosmonautics.

There are 12 faculties and 15 scientific-research institutes at the Georgian Technical University There are 12 faculties at the University: Faculty of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Power Engineering and Telecommunication, Faculty of Mining and Geology, Faculty of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy; Faculty of Transportation and Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Architecture, Urban Planning and Design, Faculty of Law and International Relations, Faculty of Engineering Economic, Media Technology and Social Sciences, Faculty of Business Technology, Faculty of Informatics and Control Systems, Faculty of Agricultural Science and Biosystems Engineering, as well as International Design School.

Research institutes and laboratories equipped with the modern technologies support these faculties that adds the theoretical knowledge to the practical experience.

The world’s largest research centers and universities are the partners of the Georgian Technical University

The partners of the Georgian Technical University are: European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Universities of California, Yale, Bern, Glasgow and other Universities.

A group of physicists from the Institute of Quantum Physics and Engineering Technologies of the Georgian Technical University is participating in the CMS collaboration, which is one of 4 main experiments on the CERN for Hadron Collider. It was in our country that, as a result of many years of work, the most difficult 3D construction for studying elementary particles was created.

The Georgian Technical University has an unique IT Laboratory in the region

The Faculty of Informatics and Control Systems has an unique Information Technology Laboratory in the region. It is an educational, research, scientific and expert center. The students have the opportunity to pass 32 different courses and conduct more than 700 laboratory tests in the Laboratory.

The Georgian Technical University offers the students two diplomas within the framework of exchange and international programs

The students of the Bachelor’s program in Winemaking and Viticulture have the opportunity to improve their knowledge at the Milan University. In case of choosing specialty of Food Technologies, students will pass the French module and will receive the Diploma of the French University together with the Diploma of Georgian Technical University. The German-language logistics educational program of the Faculty of Transportation and Mechanical Engineering also provides two diplomas and is fully funded by the DAAD. In cooperation with the San Diego University, students can obtain an American Bachelor’s degree in Georgia. In addition, through Erasmus+ and other exchange programs, honors students have the opportunity to continue their studies in Europe for free.

The Georgian Technical University gives the students opportunity to get a practical experience

The scientific, construction, engineering and IT laboratories equipped with the latest technologies provide an opportunity to carry out the practical works. This process implies working on real tasks and cooperation with the leading specialists of the various fields. Employment ratio of the Georgian Technical University graduates is more than 80%, 60% of them are employed due to their specialty.

Students of the Georgian Technical University work on scientific discoveries and inventions

The laboratory research of coniferous plant diseases, mini hydroelectric power station laboratory and bridge testing center created at the University are equipped with the latest technologies and offer the students the opportunity to conduct tests in real conditions. At the same time, the only

Holographic Interferometry Laboratory in the Caucasus Region allows solving of the oncological problems through the synthesis of nanoparticles, this is only part of the experiments and the supporting equipment, which promotes the education of the new generations of inventors. The talented school students are attracted by the Academy of Engineering at the Georgian Technical University, and the graduates are the winners of the numerous local and international competitions, including those of NASA, USA.
