Medium-to-high-level university in Armenia

Armenian State University of Economics has many departments like Management, Finance, Accounting and Audit, International Economic Relations, Marketing, Computer Science. I got my bachelor degree in Management in this university. By the time I studied there (2010-2014), the classes had mainly theoretical part, almost no practical, most of the professors had lack of abroad training and up-to-date knowledge. Besides, some of the courses were not relevant to the specialization at all and you had no right to refuse taking those courses. This was actually very disappointing, as I expected the classes to be more up-to-date, more career-oriented. But still, here you can get sound knowledge for all the best managerial theories and practices if you're eager to learn. In order to get your bachelor degree in this university, you need to study for 4 years, and 2 for masters. Mainly local people study here, there's almost no nationality diversity. The university has several buildings separated for different faculties. The library is not very diverse. The university has its own cafeteria and sport ground. For me, this is a medium-level university, which can give you some basic knowledge to start your evolution from :)

Not bad but needs changes

Like every institution Brusov State University also has its good and bad sides. My experience in the university was really memorable thanks to some of the lecturers and staff members, as well as the friends I have made there. BSU offers different fields of study, such as linguistics, public relations, journalism, tourism, international relations, European studies, political science, but its main focus is the fields of foreign languages. Wherever profession you chose for your study be sure that you will also be learning many languages, as the university teaches 28 languages, such as English, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Korean and more. Another positive thing about the BSU that it closely works with many international university and organizations. Hence students are given many opportunities to become exchange students in other European universities or take part in training courses. As for the things that need to be changes in the university is the approach of many lectures that are mostly focused on the theories and somehow manage to make their lectures boring. Another thing that I did not like is that the classrooms are not comfortable and the equipment (notebooks, computer, projectors, etc) are old and need to be changes.

Not bad

I would recommend it, but sometimes there can be moments, when classes are being cancelled or skiped. The courses are easy to understand, maybe that's subjective, but for me, it is quiet easy Pros: Friendly enviroment Skillfull professors Interesting Cons: A little bit non disciplined There can be times, when classes skips
