More than a place to study. Georgia is a country of historic cities, modern student life, dramatic Caucasus mountains, Black Sea coastlines, ancient churches and four distinct seasons.
Georgia sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia and offers a distinctive combination of history, culture, mountains, cities and coastal landscapes.
For an international student, moving to Georgia is not only about attending university. It is also an opportunity to experience a new culture, meet people from different backgrounds and become more independent.
From the historic streets of Tbilisi to the snow-covered Caucasus Mountains, Georgia offers a wide variety of environments to discover.
FTO GROUPS helps students understand the country and prepare for life abroad before beginning their university journey.
Tbilisi combines historic neighbourhoods, modern architecture, cafés, public spaces and university life. The city is one of the main centres for international students in Georgia.
Historic streets, traditional architecture, cafés and cultural landmarks create a unique atmosphere in the old parts of the city.
Students can experience restaurants, shopping areas, cafés, parks and public transportation throughout the city.
Tbilisi provides students with opportunities to experience Georgian culture and explore the city's historical surroundings.
The Bridge of Peace crosses the Mtkvari River and connects the historic area around Erekle II Street with Rike Park.
Its modern glass-and-steel design creates a striking contrast with the historic architecture surrounding the river.
It has become one of the recognisable sights of Tbilisi and is a popular place for both residents and visitors.
The Holy Trinity Cathedral, also known as Sameba, is one of Tbilisi's most recognisable landmarks.
Located on Elia Mountain, the cathedral's dome and golden cross are visible from many parts of central Tbilisi.
For students living in Georgia, places such as Sameba provide an opportunity to experience the country's history, architecture and cultural traditions outside the classroom.
Georgia is much more than its capital. From the Black Sea coast to the Caucasus Mountains and wine-growing regions, every part of the country offers a different experience.
Stepantsminda, commonly known as Kazbegi, is one of Georgia's best-known mountain destinations.
The area is surrounded by dramatic Caucasus landscapes and is home to the famous Gergeti Trinity Church.
The church sits high above Stepantsminda with Mount Kazbek providing a dramatic mountain backdrop.
For students, Georgia's mountain regions provide an opportunity to explore a very different side of the country during holidays and free time.
Winter transforms many of Georgia's mountain regions into snowy landscapes.
From Gudauri and Kazbegi to Bakuriani and Svaneti, students can experience a completely different side of Georgia during the colder months.
Snow-covered mountains, winter villages and ski-resort landscapes make Georgia particularly distinctive during winter.
