Participation details and Registration
The training of economists at YSU started back in 1921. In 1934 a separate faculty was founded, which operated until 1975. 1975-1983 training of economists at YSU was interrupted due to the establishment of the Yerevan Institute of National Economy. After a break of about ten years, in 1984, the faculty was reopened at the university under the name "Economic Cybernetics", then in 1991, it was renamed the Faculty of Economics, and in 2014, the Faculty of Economics and Management.
