question   Are overseas students accepted to the International Academy of Education?
 
 
 
We have a successful practice of instructing vast numbers of overseas students from all over the world. Our staff and students make sure to create a pleasant multicultural environment and to produce the best results in both home and overseas student instruction.
We have a special department dedicated to overseas students which you can contact at overseas@academedu.org or info@academedu.org any time you wish.
 
 
 
question   What are the languages of instruction at the International Academy of Education?
 
 
 
The languages of instruction at IAE 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 IAE.
 
 
 
question   How do I know if your degree is accepted in my country?
 
 
 
Armenia is a member of the Bologna treaty, and the International Academy of Education 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 International Academy of Education 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 IAE 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.
 
 
 
question   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.
 
 
 
question   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.
 
 
 
question   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.
 
 
 
 
question   What is the duration of a full degree course at IAE?
 
 
 
It largely depends on your majors, as well as on your enthusiasm, but the minimal duration of a full University degree course is four years for the Faculties of Arts, Economics, Law, Fine Arts, Oriental Studies, and Diplomacy. After receiving your Bachelor degree you can apply for a Master’s course which normally lasts two years. For the Medical Faculties, the duration is from five to six years, and various post-graduate degrees are available.
 
 
 
question   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. We normally hold an entrance interview (oral test) before you can officially become a student at IAE. You are free to choose the subject and language of your interview from the options available for your major. For example, the entrance subjects at Medical Faculty are Biology, Chemistry and Physics (of which you need to choose only one), and the languages available at each of the Faculties are Armenian, Russian and English.
 
 
 
 
question   Can I apply online?
 
 
 
To apply online, please fill in the online application form and submit it by the 15th of September. Please note you will also be asked to send us the following documents by snail mail or submit them in person before you can take the entrance test:
- Certificate on prior education (secondary school, high school, university courses)
- 4 passport photographs
- Copy of your passport or ID, translated into English, Armenian or Russian.
 
 
 
 
question   When does the academic year begin?
 
 
 
The academic year in Armenia begins on September 1st for all universities according to the legislation. Please make sure you get to Yerevan by the end of August to finish all the formal procedures before the course starts.
 
 
 
 
question   Do I need a visa? How can I get it?
 
 
 
The visa requirements depend on your nationality. Our foreign students department will be glad to answer all your questions in detail. You can also consult the official websites of the Armenian Embassy or Consulate in your country.
