The history of University begins on February 5, 1932
when by the regulation of Georgian government Sokhumi
Pedagogical Institute was founded. At first, there were only two
faculties f Sokhumi in the University, which mainly trained
schoolteachers. Later other faculties were added and for the
beginning of 1960-ies, Pedagogical Institute became a leading
educational and scientific center where teaching process was
presented in Georgian, Abkhazian and Russian languages. In
1979, Sokhumi Pedagogical Institute reestablished as Abkhazian
(Sokhumi) University. After the political events of 1989 Georgian
sector of University with the majority of professors and students
seceded and on May 14, 1989 on its base was established
Sokhumi Branch of Tbilisi State University, which since
December of 1993 continued functioning in Tbilisi. On July 31,
2007 Sokhumi branch of Tbilisi State University by the regulation
of Georgian government reestablished as Legal Entity of Public
Law - Sokhumi University. The newly established Sokhumi
University obtained License for educational activity (04.01.2008)
and Governmental Accreditation (08.01.2008) for the period of
5 years.
