Armenian universities launch online admissions for foreigners
Starting from the 2025–2026 academic year, admission of international and diaspora applicants to higher and postgraduate education programs in Armenia will be conducted online through the fs.emis.am platform.
According to the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports, the platform includes a step-by-step user guide tailored for applicants. To apply, users must first register and activate their account, then proceed with the application steps.
Applicants should visit fs.emis.am and click the “Login” button. In the window that appears, they must select “Register,” fill in their email and password (all fields are mandatory), and confirm. A message confirming activation will appear, and an email will be sent from the National Center for Educational Technologies. If the email does not appear in the inbox, users are advised to check the spam folder. Clicking the “Activate” link in the email grants access to the main page.
Once registration is complete, users can log in using their credentials. Within the platform, they can apply to universities, track application status, change institutions or programs, and update their password.
Applicants must complete all required fields, upload the necessary documents, and click “Save” after each step. Saved applications will be stored in the “Applications” section of the user’s personal page, where they can be edited or withdrawn.
The platform offers a list of Armenian universities, academic programs, and degree levels. The user guide explains the registration process in detail.
