Message from the Dean

Medicine is a sphere which is constantly and rapidly evolving. Despite the fact that technological advancements have significantly improved diagnostic and treatment methods, a lot still remains undisclosed. Each person’s body is unique and requires individual approach.

I should mention that, medicine is one of the most challenging fields. However, I would like to highlight that simple things cannot be interesting at the same time. Interesting is connected with difficulty and hardship. If you do not opt for easy paths, if you are fond of adventures, if you are always seeking innovations and tasks to solve, if you are hard worker individual and what’s ore if you love people, in this case medicine is the sphere where you will be able to realize yourself with success.

Willingness to interact with people, help them and feel that you can change someone’s life towards better, bring happiness not to a single but numbers of people by saving someone’s life and health- means you are born as a doctor.

BAU International University, Batumi welcomes such students. The university by itself creates all conditions for encouraging you to become professional.

Best Wishes,
Prof. Leila Akhvlediani
Dean of the School of Medicine & Health Sciences
