ArmInfo. German University of Armenia (GUA) will be officially
inaugurated in Yerevan July 4.

Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the University Edward
Saroyan says that GUA was established as a legal organization
in 2005 and has conducted different training courses and research
projects since then. It has established cooperation with many German
univesities: Kassel University, CVJM, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg,
etc. Presently, GUA is negotiating with the Free University of Berlin
and Humboldt State University. With some of the universities GUA has
concluded dual magistracy diploma agreements.

Over 30 professors from Germany have already expressed wish to give
lectures at GUA.

This year GUA will announce admission to a European behavior
magistracy course covering international relations and politics,
innovative economics, culture, general management. The university
will also offer Modular Architecture, Spiritual Theology course as
well as intensive German language courses.

Saroyan says that many German professors will give their lectures in
English. So, excellent German will not be a must at the initial stage.

GUA will also have different reseach institutes where students and
professors will be able to carry out practical research. "As a result
our graduates will be competitive in both Armenia and Europe. We have
already established an Institute of Inter-religious and Inter-Cultural
Communications, an Institute of Practical Psychology, an Institute of
East-West Studies. The tuition of one year will be 600,000 AMD. But
the first students will enjoy discount," says Saroyan.

To note, Armenia already has American University, French University,
Armenian-Russian (Slavonic) University and European Regional Academy
of the Caucasus (ERIICTA).
