/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Europe considers Armenia to be one of the centers of
world civilization. This is the reason why many European countries wish
to lay a bridge towards Armenia. The opening of the House of Europe in
Armenia can serve as a foundation for such a bridge, German professor,
one of the founders of German University in Armenia, Paul Imhof told
a news conference in Yerevan today.
For his part, Eduard Saroyan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of
German University in Armenia said University will be located at the
House of Europe, along with research centers charged with the task
to disseminate European values in the republic. He also briefed on
aims and objectives of the new university.
The founders of the university are mainly professors from Germany
and German-Armenian Association. University curriculum will include
European Studies as well as European civilization-related subjects.
"Our University offers MA and postgraduate courses. The emphasis will
be laid on education quality rather than students' quantity. In future,
our graduates will be as competitive in the labor market as graduates
of other prestigious universities of Armenia," Saroyan said.
He also noted that university professors will be able to give lectures
directly from Germany via videoconferences and video-boards.
The official opening of German University is scheduled for June. "Our
tutoring costs will not exceed those of Armenia's prestigious
universities. To study at our university, knowledge of German is not
obligatory, yet students should speak English," Saroyan said.
