GEORGIAN PHILOLOGY DEPARTMENT

Department of  Georgian Philology consists of three main directions. 1. Georgian Language ; 2. Georgian Literature 3. General Linguistics.
The department has been in its present form since 2011 and it was formed as a result of unifying three independent departments (Department of Georgian Language, Department of Georgian Literature and Department of General  Linguistics). The Department is staffed by highly qualified personnel. Mainly, its academic personnel consists of 9 professors, 15 associate professors and 1 assistant-professor.

Scientific papers of the members of the department are published as separate books in both our country and foreign scientific periodicals.
