Doctor of Law, Professor Georgi Khubua, the newly appointed Rector, brings with him a wealth of academic experience.

KIU, which welcomed its first batch of students in the fall of 2020, is now home to over 1,200 students. Our collaboration with the prestigious Technical University of Munich (TUM) and its former President, Professor Wolfgang Hermann, is a testament to KIU’s global aspirations.
