Scientific-Research Center of Georgian Folklore

The Scientific Research Center for Georgian Folklore founded in 2010 is successfully operating at the St. Andrew the First-Called Georgian University of the Georgian Patriarchate for over the decade. The aim of the center is to highlight, research, and popularize the issues of Georgian oral traditions that have not been adequately studied despite their centuries-old history. It seeks to emphasize the artistic features or belief systems from the immense ‘treasure’ of intangible cultural heritage, which are essential for developing a unified picture of the philosophy of the Georgian people.

Objectives of the Center

  • To search for, record, classify by thematic and genre, and study previously unknown examples of folk oral traditions in Georgia and beyond (e.g., in Samtskhe-Javakheti, Imerekhvi, Fereydan...).
  • To create a database using the collected materials;
  • To determine the place and function of Georgian oral traditions in the context of integration and globalization processes;
  • To prepare an encyclopedic dictionary of Georgian folklore;
  • To introduce the artistic and cognitive value of national oral traditions to foreign specialists and interested parties.

 

Kartvelology Center

Kartvelology Scientific Research Center has been operating since 2010 at the St. Andrew the First-Called Georgian University of the Georgian Patriarchate.
The mission of the Center is to study the Georgian language, history, and traditional culture, and to develop Georgian/Kartvelian studies focused on one historical language of the Georgians. It aims to establish the fundamental principles of scientific Georgian/Kartvelian studies, considering modern (international) definitions and terminology, and to spread these principles on an international level.
To introduce the Georgian literary language and the history of the Georgian linguistic world, as well as Georgian speech units, to both Georgian and foreign interested parties, the center actively collaborates with Georgian and foreign Georgian/Kartvelian scholars, including linguists, literary critics, ethnologists, cultural scholars, historians, and editorial boards of contemporary encyclopedias.

Goals and Objectives of the Center

  • Research on the linguistic world of the Georgians, historical onomastics, ethnographic characteristics, specific historical problems, and oral traditions;
  • Study of the dialects, ethnographic characteristics, and oral traditions of Georgians living beyond the current borders of Georgia, and the creation of a corresponding collection of documentary materials;
  • Exchange of research results and information between foreign and Georgian specialists, organization of meetings and joint research activities;
  • Creation of scientific works in Kartvelology;
  • Support students in the field of Kartvelology studies in their research on local varieties of the Georgian language, Georgian folklore, and ethnographic data.

Foreign Languages Center

Foreign Language Instruction at the University

The main goal of the Language Center is to provide foreign language instruction to university students within the credit limits defined by their academic programs. This gives all undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to improve their language competence by at least one or two levels — an essential requirement in today’s fast-paced and mobile world. Proficiency in a foreign language at a minimum of B2 level is necessary for professional success, allowing independent use of the language for professional purposes as well as for understanding foreign cultures and societies.

The Language Center is also ready to offer subject-specific language courses tailored to students’ fields of study.

Currently, five languages are taught at the university: English, German, French, Russian, and Chinese. Additional languages may be introduced based on demand and necessity.

Language instruction for everyone – excellent conditions and high quality.

In addition to its core activities, the Language Center offers the following courses (average of 8–10 learners per group):

General Language Courses for the Public:

  • For children and teenagers — three times a week, 1.5 hours per session. Course duration — 15 weeks. Full course fee — 350 GEL (includes textbook);
  • For adults — three times a week, 2 hours per session. Course duration — 15 weeks. Full course fee — 450 GEL (includes textbook);
