Exciting experiments, new knowledge, and collaboration: Physics and Us Summer Camp concludes Initiated by the chapters of the International Society for Optics and Photonics, operating under Yerevan State University and the Institute for Physical Research of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, the annual Physics and Us Summer Camp was held at YSU Training and Production Base in Tsaghkadzor.
New scientific collaboration established between YSU and University of Bari Anahit Shirvanyan, a junior researcher at the Laboratory of Microbiology, Bioenergetics, and Biotechnology at YSU Institute of Biology, has conducted a three-month research project at the University of Bari Aldo Moro (Italy) within the framework of the "Professional Training-2025" program of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of the Republic of Armenia.
From physics to IT: YSU student’s success story When we think of top master's students in the field of information technology (IT), we typically envision programmers or data scientists. However, the example of Paramaz Chorpatshean, a master's student at YSU Institute of Physics, demonstrates that the fields of physics and IT are inextricably linked. This is evidenced by Paramaz's victory at the annual educational awards in information technology, where he received a second-class award in the "Best Master's Student" category.
Teaching of psychology in extracurricular settings: "Camp & Therapy" camp held Under the initiative of the Student Council of YSU Faculty of Philosophy and Psychology, the "Camp & Therapy" camp was organized. The event aimed to create a learning and experiential environment for students, providing them with the opportunity to explore the classification of personality disorders and their manifestations beyond the classroom setting. In addition, the camp sought to develop practical skills that would enable students to apply these techniques when working with individuals facing similar challenges.
The Center for Admissions and Affairs with Applicants at YSU is the 'gateway' to the university – Ani Avetisyan For nearly two decades, the Center for Admissions and Affairs with Applicants at Yerevan State University has been operating, with its primary focus being to assist applicants in their professional orientation and serving as a connecting link between schools and the university.
Getting into YSU Institute of Physics was one of the best decisions of my life – YSU master's student Siranush Asatryan According to the results of this year’s annual educational awards in information technology (IT), Siranush Asatryan, a master's student at YSU Institute of Physics, received the second-class award in the "Best Master's Student" category. Although she is a physicist by profession, her research consistently aims to bridge the fields of physics and IT.
YSU biologists took part in FEMS 2025 A delegation from YSU Faculty of Biology participated in the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS 2025) international conference, showing Armenia’s scientific potential. The Armenian delegation, comprising 30 participants, included doctoral and master’s students, as well as young researchers.
Results of the additional admission phase for the 2025-2026 academic year bachelor's programs at YSU announced The results of the additional (vacant) admission phase for the bachelor's programs at Yerevan State University for the 2025-2026 academic year (tuition-free and tuition-based) have been announced. This phase covered both the free and paid tuition-based educational programs.
YSU hosts discussion on space studies and digital era issues Over the past two decades, astrophysics has witnessed significant advancements and breakthroughs — a topic that took center stage during a thought-provoking discussion led by Director of YSU Institute of Physics, Khachatur Nerkararyan.
YSU researcher Aleksander Aghajanyan: "Young researchers are trained to be perfectly objective, to forget about themselves. But over time, it becomes clear that remaining human — with all one's subjectivity — is also important" Aleksander Aghajanyan, a researcher at the Department of Civilizational and Cultural Studies, YSU Institute for Armenian Studies, has primarily focused his academic work on the interaction between religious identity, culture, and society in the post-Soviet space. However, his interests have expanded beyond the regional context to include the study of world religions. In 2023, his article titled "НВ: о тбилисском мальчике, университетской культуре и о Дао, которое не выразишь словами" was published in the journal "Studia Religiosa Rossica". Inspired by that publication, we spoke with the researcher about how Daoist philosophy can intersect with the academic environment.
