What are the languages of instruction at the Yerevan Haybusak University?

The languages of instruction at Haybusak University are Armenian, Russian, and English. You can choose your language of instruction when filling out your application form, or change it during the academic year if your language of instruction turns out to present difficulties. We have qualified staff members who deliver classes in English or Russian for our overseas students so as to minimize the difficulties during instruction. Final examinations can also be held in English, and the Diploma is officially translated into the three languages together with all the academic certificates and other documents issued by the Yerevan Haybusak University.

How do I know if your degree is accepted in my country?

Armenia is a member of the Bologna treaty, and the Yerevan Haybusak University abides by the accepted European standards for Higher Education. In most countries, a foreign degree needs to be validated or confirmed by the corresponding authorities. This is a standard procedure which requires several official documents from the overseas University. The Yerevan Haybusak University provides its graduates with all the necessary documents and academic certificates in order to ensure a successful validation of its degrees in foreign countries. All the Universities of the Yerevan Haybusak University are state-accredited Universities, which is a crucial condition for the overseas recognition of our diplomas. You can apply for academic certificates and state accreditation documents at any moment after graduation, even if several years have passed, you can still receive all the necessary documents to validate your degree in your home country.

What accommodation is available for overseas students?

There are two options of accommodation for overseas students. The first is to rent a flat nearby the Campus (many students prefer to share flats. This seems to be an economically favorable option); the second is to apply for a room in the student hostel. There soon will be a third option available: we plan to build a modern and comfortable student residence complex near the Campus, which will offer comfortable and inexpensive accommodation to our students who come from outside the capital.

Where can I find information on tuition fees? Are there any additional costs related to tuition?

The information on tuition fees can be found on the respective pages of the Faculties. We offer the lowest prices for the highest education!

There are no additional costs except for the official tuition fee. Your tuition fee will not change during the whole period of study, even if a higher tuition rate is established for the coming years. We guarantee that your fees will remain the same until your graduation.

Is there any available information on courses and subjects taught at each Faculty?

You can find the list of compulsory subjects and courses taught at each Faculty on the respective pages of the Faculties. We also offer several optional courses.

After receiving your Bachelor degree you can apply for a Master’s course which normally lasts two years.

What are the entrance requirements? Do I have to take an entrance exam?

In order to be admitted, you need to provide a certificate of secondary education or its equivalent for your home country. The certificate must be translated into English.
