Study Abroad in Georgia
Studying in Georgia means studying in a truly unique geography and culture. Mountains, valleys, rivers, and ocean divide Georgia into many unique cultures, languages, and variations in cuisine. The Georgians are famous for their hospitality and their culinary traditions, centered around healthy ingredients (superfoods!) and unique flavors. Meals are memorable events in Georgia.
Whichever SRAS course you choose to study abroad in Georgia, out-of-classroom experiences and special lectures and workshops will introduce you to the local culture, history, and current events. You will be well supported by SRAS and its partners in achieving your study abroad goals.

What's It Like to Study Abroad in Georgia?
SRAS partners with Novamova, a private school in Georgia. The Novamova campuses are centrally located in their respective cities.
Batumi and Tbilisi are both green, friendly cities, full of parks and museums. You’ll find incredible food and great hangouts here at very reasonable prices.
Georgia is a small country, full of diverse, beautiful landscapes and friendly people. Your program will not only steep you in academic study, but also show you as much of the country as possible. You can see several write-ups of some of these trips on our companion site SRASStudents.org. You’ll couple learning with incredible, delicious adventures!
We will be releasing Guides to Living in Batumi and Tbilisi in the near future that will help you find the resources you’ll need on the ground to live a summer, semester, or year abroad.
