Legal Support for Universities in Matters of Joint Programs, Enrollment of Foreign Students, and Recognition of Foreign Qualifications.
As Georgia develops as an international educational hub, universities face a complex web of national and international regulations. Legal Sandbox Georgia offers specialized legal services in structuring international education to help your institution succeed on the global stage. Our expertise is based on the Georgian Law "On Higher Education" and the regulations of the National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement (NCEQE). We consult universities on all legal aspects of internationalization.
Establishing successful joint programs and partnerships with foreign universities requires meticulous legal planning and robust agreements to mitigate risks. Our firm offers expert legal consultation on structuring such collaborations, including the development and negotiation of Memorandums of Understanding and detailed partnership agreements for joint or dual degree programs. We ensure that these programs fully comply with Georgia's authorization and accreditation standards, thereby protecting your institution's interests.
Attracting and enrolling foreign students is a key component of internationalization, but it is associated with significant legal and regulatory requirements. We offer comprehensive legal consultation at every stage of this process to ensure your institution's procedures for admitting foreign citizens are in full compliance with Georgian legislation. Our services include advice on the latest regulations for student visas and residence permits, establishing transparent admission criteria, and ensuring the legality of promotional activities.
A critical aspect of global education is the official recognition of qualifications. We offer expert legal advice to both institutions and individuals on the process of recognizing foreign qualifications in Georgia.
