Yerevan State University is today the oldest and, perhaps, the most prestigious higher education institution in Armenia. Although its history begins relatively recently by university standards, it is highly respected in the community, and its degrees are highly valued.

History of University

Before Socialist revolution V Russian Empire residents of Transcaucasia were forced to leave their native country to get an education. Most often, Armenians went to Russia or Europe. For a long time in Georgia there was a special university founded by immigrants from Armenia, in which their former compatriots could gain knowledge.

However, after the Russian Revolution and the closure of the university in Georgia, the question of creating an independent university in Armenia became acute. The issue of organizing Yerevan State University was resolved on May 16, 1919. Then the government of the first Republic of Armenia established a new educational institution, in which at first there were four faculties.

Already on January 31, 1920, the university accepted its first students. In the first year of its existence, however, only one faculty was fully functioning, with 262 students studying and 32 teachers. The rector invited famous Armenian scientists with an impeccable academic reputation from European countries.

University during the USSR

In the twenties, there were five faculties at Yerevan State University: social science, technical, oriental studies, Soviet construction and pedagogy. In the thirties the number of faculties increased to eight. Being the first higher education institution in the republic, Yerevan University served as the basis for the creation of other universities in the country.

Thus, on the basis of the Faculty of Medicine, already in the early thirties, the State Medical Institute was formed, the first rector of which was Hakob Hovhannisyan, who had previously headed the University of Yerevan.

By the time the republic gained independence, the university already had seventeen faculties. In independent Armenia, the status of the university remained very high, which was also due to the innovative efforts undertaken by the university management. Since 1995, the university switched to a two-tier education system, which allowed it to enter into closer relations with European and American universities.

Other prestigious universities in Armenia

One of the highest educational institutions created on the basis of the faculty of Yerevan University, became the Yerevan State University of Architecture and Construction. This university was created on the basis of the technical faculty of the country's main university, after which it began to actively develop.

The first graduation of the university consisted of only seven people who left the walls alma mater in 1928. Subsequently, on the basis of the University of Architecture, the Polytechnic Institute was created, to which the Chemical Technology Institute was attached. Thus, Yerevan State University acted as the founder of a whole family of higher educational institutions in Armenia, each of which changed its orientation, expanded its profile and developed according to its own logic.

Modern education system of Armenia

Today, the higher education system of the Republic of Armenia is a very complex structured education, which includes numerous universities, academies, institutes and a conservatory.

Despite the fact that the transition to a two-level higher education system was made back in the mid-nineties, today students can still choose whether to study in a specialty or bachelor's and master's degrees.

In general, it is worth saying that modern higher education in the republic is organized in accordance with generally accepted world standards and inherits the Soviet value system. Diploma of higher education is considered prestigious and helps graduates with employment.
