Student Life & Environment

BTU offers an urban, professionally oriented student experience rather than describing a residential college model. Its official international-student page highlights orientation and onboarding, academic-registration assistance, Georgian-language courses, intercultural activities, daily guidance, and university documentation for residence-permit applications. These services are especially relevant to students arriving from abroad, but they do not replace the need to verify immigration requirements with Georgian authorities. Much of extracurricular life appears to revolve around technology projects, entrepreneurship, laboratories, and employer-facing activities. Students can engage with the Entrepreneurship Center through training, mentorship, startup bootcamps, hackathons, grant competitions, and pre-acceleration programs. The Career Development Center organizes coaching, workshops, career events, company visits, job shadowing, and access to internship or vacancy information. The university also describes international exchanges through Erasmus+ and bilateral arrangements, subject to selection and program availability. BTU’s published materials do not provide a current, sufficiently detailed account of university-operated housing, meal plans, varsity sport, or a comprehensive roster of student clubs. International applicants should therefore budget for independently arranged accommodation unless BTU confirms another option, and should ask directly about housing guidance, accessibility, health support, student organizations, and the activities available at their assigned campus.

Location & Surroundings

BTU is based in Tbilisi, Georgia’s capital and largest city. Its principal published contact address is 82 Ilia Chavchavadze Avenue, Tbilisi 0179. The university describes this campus as part of Silicon Valley Tbilisi, an education and innovation complex that brings together university facilities, technology laboratories, entrepreneurship activity, and other organizations. A second BTU campus opened in Tbilisi in 2025. The university says the newer facility added multifunctional areas, modern laboratories, equipped auditoriums, libraries, and multimedia environments. Prospective students should confirm where their particular program is taught, since published institutional descriptions do not assign every degree to a named campus. Studying in the capital places students near Georgia’s largest concentration of employers, public institutions, cultural venues, and international organizations. That setting can be useful for internships and professional events, but BTU does not publish a comprehensive 2026 student cost-of-living or commuting estimate. Students should independently compare rental areas, transport time, utilities, and other living costs before accepting an offer.

Costs & Career Outcomes

BTU’s current fee page lists annual undergraduate tuition in Georgian lari: GEL 2,650 for the Management and Finance routes in Business Administration; GEL 3,950 for Information Technology, Digital Marketing, and Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence; and GEL 2,950 for Psychology in the Digital World. Listed master’s fees range from GEL 2,250 to GEL 3,950, while the two displayed doctoral programs cost GEL 3,500. These are program charges, not a complete cost of attendance, and the page does not attach an academic-year label to every figure. Students should reconfirm the amount, payment schedule, and any additional charges before enrollment. The separate English-taught Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence bachelor’s page publishes a September 2026 international price of USD 4,000 per year plus a USD 200 application fee. That dollar-denominated figure applies to that specified program and should not be generalized to other international students. No verified current housing, meals, insurance, visa, transport, or personal-expense budget was found. BTU states that its Student Scholarship Fund began in 2026 and can provide partial or full tuition support for undergraduate and graduate students. Academic-excellence scholarships are also mentioned, but eligibility and award availability require confirmation. Career support includes individual coaching, CV and LinkedIn assistance, interview preparation, a jobs-and-internships database, career fairs, employer meetings, company visits, workshops, job shadowing, and alumni networking. BTU publishes no independently verified salary outcome or placement rate suitable for inclusion here.
