Message from our Rector
Tea Mikeladze
Dear Visitor,
Welcome to BAU International University Batumi!
BAU International University Batumi is a new and dynamically developing higher education institution in Georgia. Although the university is based and operates locally in Georgia, it is also a member of the international education network "BAU Global." The main campus of this network is located in Istanbul, Turkey, and "BAU Global" unites eight different educational institutions across three continents worldwide.
BAU International University Batumi offers English-language programs in Medicine and Dentistry. The majority of our students come from various countries.
The faculties of Medicine and Dentistry provide an integrated environment for teaching and practice, fostering students' professional development. The faculties are staffed with teams of professionals invited from different parts of the world who bring diverse educational and professional experiences. We offer a favorable environment for learning and self-development, where students gain knowledge in both basic and clinical sciences, learn to respect universal rights, and develop the ability to succeed in multicultural settings.
We believe that the development of a true medical and dental professional is only possible through a combination of clinical practice and profound respect for the biological, social, and cultural foundations of human life. In the process of building competencies related to medicine and healthcare, we utilize modern laboratories, patient simulation devices, practical clinical experiences, and contemporary intervention methodologies in healthcare. We aim for our graduates to meet the licensing requirements of various advanced healthcare systems. Therefore, we offer students an optional preparatory course for the "USMLE" (United States Medical Licensing Examination).
Finally, the beautiful Black Sea city of Batumi offers our students and faculty members numerous opportunities to enjoy their free time in an interesting and enriching way.
