The number of applications from foreign students to Armenian universities increased by 90% last year, according to Education Minister Zhanna Andreasyan.
Andreasyan, the Minister of Education, Science, Culture, and Sport, told lawmakers at a parliamentary committee hearing that the digitized application system has largely contributed to this increase.
Overall, in 2025, 10,970 first-year students were admitted to Armenian universities, 59% of whom enrolled in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields.
The minister also noted that scholarship programs for priority fields have contributed to a significant increase in student numbers in these areas.
