destination,\r\nparticularly for students comparing it with countries such as the United\r\nKingdom, Canada, Australia or the United States.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\nThat description can be broadly useful, but it can also become misleading\r\nwhen students focus only on tuition fees.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\nThe true cost of studying in Georgia includes:\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"vv-check-list\">\r\n<li>University tuition<\/li>\r\n<li>Application and admission costs where applicable<\/li>\r\n<li>Document recognition<\/li>\r\n<li>Translations, notarisation or

varies\r\nsignificantly by programme and institution. Current official listings show\r\nsome English-taught IT and Computer Science programmes around\r\n<strong>USD 3,500\u20135,500 per year<\/strong>, while Medicine may be around\r\n<strong>USD 6,000<\/strong> at some universities and Dentistry around\r\n<strong>USD 5,000<\/strong>. Accommodation can range from low-cost student\r\nhousing to substantially more expensive private or university accommodation.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"vv-important\">\r\n\r\n<strong>Do
