Dear Visitor,
Welcome to BAU International University Batumi.
As a relatively new and dynamic higher educational institution in Georgia, BAU International University Batumi is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of academic excellence. While we are based and registered in Georgia, we are proud to be part of BAU Global, with our main campus situated in Istanbul, Turkey, and eight other locations spanning three continents.
Our MD degree-leading English-instructed program attracts students from various countries across our region and beyond, fostering a diverse and enriching learning environment.
Operating in collaboration with a modern, high-tech teaching hospital, our Faculty of Medicine comprises faculty members with diverse educational and professional backgrounds from around the world. We provide our students with an enabling environment for effective learning and continuous self-development, instilling in them not only foundational and clinical sciences but also a global vision for human development, respect for universal rights, and the ability to thrive in multicultural settings.
We firmly believe that true medical professionals are shaped by a combination of clinical excellence and profound respect for human life in all its dimensions. Through diverse teaching and learning methods, including modern labs, patient simulation devices, hands-on clinical experiences, and contemporary public health intervention approaches, we cultivate the medical and healthcare competencies of our students. Our aim is for our graduates to meet licensure requirements in various advanced healthcare systems, which is why we offer USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination) preparation courses as an elective option.
Lastly, our students and faculty enjoy a plethora of social and leisure opportunities in the beautiful city of Batumi, situated along the picturesque Black Sea coast.
Warm regards,
Giorgi Tshkhvediani
Rector
