Yerevan Haybusak University

What Yerevan Haybusak University does

Yerevan Haybusak University (YHU) is a private, for-profit multidisciplinary university headquartered at 6 Abelyan St., Yerevan, Armenia, founded in 1991 by academician Levon Harutyunyan. The institution operates four academic institutes — the Medical Institute, the Institute of Law and International Relations, the Roslin Academy of Arts and Humanities, and the Institute of Economics, Management and Informatics — alongside a college and a high school, delivering 18 specialisations under the three-cycle Bologna system. Its teaching infrastructure includes 40 clinical and specialised centres, a Medical Simulation Centre (est. 2019), a Dental Clinic, a Criminalistics Laboratory, a Law Office, a Design Laboratory, a Psychological Service Centre, and a library holding 35,340 books with access to Scopus, Web of Science, and Royal Society journals. Delivery is hybrid, combining on-campus instruction in Yerevan with a Moodle-based online learning platform at haybuskmoodle.am.

YHU's customer base is composed of individual students, with ~2,300 enrolled in 2025-26 drawn from Armenia, Russia, CIS countries, Egypt, India, and Iran. International recruitment is driven by a dedicated international relations office and participation in educational exhibitions across Moscow, Aleppo, Damascus, Beirut, Tbilisi, Kyiv, and Yerevan. The university holds International Institutional Accreditation from EKKA for 2023-2026 and has participated in the Erasmus SAFEMED+ grant. Current governance is led by Rector Suren Harutyunyan, with the institution remaining owner-operated and absent of disclosed external investment.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition and fees across the 18 specialisations, supplemented by healthcare service revenue from the Dental Clinic, which also functions as a student training facility. Distribution combines a regional campus-based delivery model (on-campus education in Yerevan) with a global self-serve channel via the Moodle platform. GTM motion is sales-led, executed through international exhibition presence, the multilingual website (haybusak.am in Armenian, English, and Russian), and partnerships such as the 2025 dual degree program with the University of Teramo.

Closest direct competitor in the Armenian private higher-education market, with comparable international student mix and Western accreditation ties.
• Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University: Joint Russian-Armenian multidisciplinary university based in Yerevan offering programmes across humanities, social sciences, IT, and law. Directly comparable as a Yerevan-based, internationally-recruited, multidisciplinary private-leaning higher-education institution competing for the same Armenian and CIS student pool.

Regional players

• American University of Central Asia: Private, US-style liberal arts and professional university in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, with programmes in business, law, communications, and engineering. Comparable as a private internationally-recruited Central Asian/CIS institution competing for similar international student demographics.
• European University at St. Petersburg: Private, internationally-oriented humanities and social sciences university in St. Petersburg, Russia. Comparable as a private post-Soviet university with Western academic partnerships and an emphasis on European standards, though narrower in disciplinary scope (no medicine/IT).
• Moscow School of Social and Economic Sciences (Shaninka): Private British-double-degree multidisciplinary university in Moscow with programmes in social sciences, business, and education. Comparable as a private, internationally-accredited, post-Soviet university targeting both domestic and international students with European-aligned programmes.

Comparable as a regionally competitive private multidisciplinary institution targeting international students in the Caucasus and beyond.

Closely comparable as a CIS-region private multidisciplinary university founded in the early independence era, serving international students.
• Ilia State University: Major multidisciplinary research university in Tbilisi, Georgia, with programmes across natural sciences, humanities, law, business, and medicine. Comparable as a regional multidisciplinary institution in the Caucasus competing for the same international student pool, particularly from CIS, Iran, and India.

Broad incumbents

• Yerevan State Medical University: Largest public medical university in Armenia, the dominant domestic provider of medical education and the primary benchmark for YHU's Medical Institute. Comparable along the medical vertical but operates as a public incumbent with significantly larger scale and state funding.
• Tbilisi State Medical University: Public medical university in Tbilisi, Georgia, one of the largest medical schools in the Caucasus with significant international (particularly Indian and CIS) student enrolment. Comparable along YHU's Medical Institute vertical and as a competing regional magnet for medical students.
