General Information
During the first semester, students deeply familiarize themselves with global transformations and technological trends within the context of which they will operate. During this period, they acquire fundamental knowledge of the principles and operational foundations of decentralized systems, and deepen their understanding of innovative business models, cryptography, and practical programming. In the second semester, students develop theoretical and practical competencies related to the functioning and programming of cryptocurrencies. Simultaneously, they gain knowledge and skills in business process description, modeling, documentation, and redesign. In the third semester, students acquire theoretical knowledge and practical skills in smart contracts, as well as study principles and methods of information technology project management.
At the end of each semester, students create integrated projects based on the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired, facilitating the consolidation of interdisciplinary skills. Based on the experience from these integrated projects, in the fourth semester (after one year of study), the master’s student begins preparing the master’s thesis. During the thesis preparation process, the student receives consultations from the program director and/or co-supervisor, ensuring the successful development of the research component and professional growth. Students also create a prototype of their own startup, blockchain-based system, or service.
Students who require a visa to study at an authorized Georgian institution normally apply for a D3 immigration visa. The correct entry route depends on citizenship and legal residence, so applicants must check Georgia’s eConsul eligibility tool and the responsible embassy before applying. Students staying long term may also need a study residence permit after arrival.

Most of their doctors are fresh graduates, young, and lack experience. And they don't have good dealings with the students. And even when we go to complain to the administration, the administration doesn't do anything for the doctor, and the doctor goes on more and more and becomes stronger against the students more and more, and even in some of them they have racism, they fail students for no reason. And more than once we complain about them, and the administration does nothing, the administration, on the contrary, strengthens them against us, and the administration doesn't listen to us or listen to our voice. The worst university you can see in the world, and other than that, they fail students for no reason, or they are setting up ambushes for students to fail them in any way to increase their university's economy. Because the system of their university is a commercial system, the most important thing for them is money, a hungry people or a hungry university in general, they want money only, but they are not coming to solve any administrative problems, nor do they care, I mean even the student The one who doesn't think about transfer thinks about transfer, why? Because in all cases, you will fail more than once with them when no one listens to you. So it is better for the person to go to a university that treats them better and their doctors are better than these doctors. At least the administration cooperates with the students.
