The academic program developed by the Armenian Armsoft company will be launched at the Yerevan State University (YSU) in September.

The President of the company, Ashot Khachatryan, told Armenian News – NEWS.am that the curriculum for the BA degree programmers has been developed by the company specialists.

“There is no need to explain how tailored the academic program will be to the labor market when an employer helps to form it.   We have already signed a memorandum with the YSU. The program will operate in the Department of Applied Mathematics, where programming is taught. The first flow will include 45 people,” Khachatryan said.

The company will prepare an MA curriculum later, but it wants to make it not so much programming- but more IT business-oriented. The main idea is to create conditions for talented programmers to stay in the country.  And to this end, they should not only be able to program, but also manage their own business, Khachatryan added.
