Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan are prime recruitment targets for 2021. Announcing the start of KIU's recruitment drive, Mr. Ivanishvili said:

"The scale of our €1 billion investment in KIU points to the scale of our ambition. We want KIU to become a magnet for the very best and brightest students from Russia, Central Asia and the Caucasus. Our goal is to build a world-leading, regional hub for learning, technology and innovation."

KIU has been specially designed as an 'international' university along US and European lines. Its partner university is the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the Best University in Europe in 2020 according to QS World University Rankings.

KIU will offer a full residential, campus-based education with a close focus on Science and Technology. Course content has been developed in partnership with TUM, which boasts six Humboldt professors in its current staff and 17 Nobel Prizes in its history.

KIU currently offers Bachelor degree programmes in Computer Sciences, Mathematics and Management Studies. State-of-the-art science and medical Research Centres and laboratories are being opened to support Masters, Doctoral, and Post-doctoral programmes.

The Research Centres are already attracting leading scientists and investment from around the world. Europe's leading provider of proton therapy technology for the treatment of cancer, Ion Beam Applications of Belgium, is installing a cyclotron in the University's medical research centre.

University Chancellor, Magda Magradze, summarised the attractions of KIU:

"Georgia is recognised as a fantastic place to come and live and study. We have state-of-the-art facilities on a greenfield site on the edge of Kutaisi, close to an international airport with connections to all the main countries in the region.

"We are building a vibrant student population from our neighbouring countries. Interested applicants should visit www.kiu.edu.ge for information on the financial support packages we offer."
