Scholarship competition for interdisciplinary master's theses summarized

An interdisciplinary master's thesis is a collaborative research carried out by two students from related professional fields, studying in educational programs of the same academic duration, under the general supervision of two academic supervisors.

In 2023, Yerevan State University adopted a scholarship award procedure for compiling interdisciplinary theses, according to which students of the 2023-24 academic year were awarded scholarships (worth up to 1 million AMD). Determined by the 2023 budget, 3 million AMD were allocated to eight students who applied for the completion of 4 interdisciplinary master's theses.   

YSU master's students studying in different educational programs of the same duration, with a GPA of 16 or higher, and included in the interdisciplinary master's thesis execution program based on a report from their respective educational unit with an approved research topic, are eligible to apply for the scholarship.

To receive a scholarship, applicants must submit a request for writing an interdisciplinary thesis via the e-request.ysu.am system to the YSU rector. Applications are accepted annually from February 10 to 20, accompanied by the required competition package.
