Grigol Robakidze University was the first who initiated and established the Academic Quality Management centre in 2001. It should be admitted that the Law of Georgia on Higher Education issued in 2005 obligates universities to have such a service.
The centre was established within the framework of the project of European Union –Tempus TACIS and was practically realized at Grigol Robakidze university by help of our partner Nottingham Trent and Lund universities.
Meticulously done job performed by the centre resulted in implementing the European system of learning/teaching, assessment and credit transfer (ECTS).The centre highly appreciates support received from the partner universities and expresses gratitude to all participants of the project: Mr. Colin Love Mrs. Jack Stevens, Mr. Jan Hellberg. Special thanks to Mr. Trevor Cartledge who personally participated in the process of formation of academic programmes and assessment system.
