Goal of programs, Main subjects

The goal of the programs designed by DAG is to train and place highly qualified professionals in the Georgian Foreign Service and relevant services abroad and in Georgia. At the conclusion of the academic program a bi-lingual (Georgian-English) state promulgated diploma for Master's or Bachelor's degree in the relevant field is issued, testifying to satisfactory completion of the program. The diploma is signed by the President of DAG and is registered at the Ministry of Higher Education of Georgia. These programs are offered  to 20 students annually.

DAG plans to create an international group of students, for whom the languages of instruction will be English and Russian, depending on the group's language skills. Tuition fee for foreign students will be $5000 and up per academic year, depending on the number of students, duration of study and the language of instruction. (For students of developing countries special tuition fees can be negotiated, as well as a different duration of study, depending on the quality of initial education, language skills and performance). DAG will accommodate foreign students at private apartments (with or without board) or at a students' hostel.
