Fewer University Applicants in Armenia This Year

In Armenia, 2,000 fewer students applied to universities this year than last year, said Yerevan State University (YSU) admissions committee secretary Vachagan Galstyan at a press conference earlier today. 

In YSU alone, 400 fewer students applied this year as compared to last year, he said. 

According to Galstyan, there is a sufficient flow of applicants to the faculties of mathematics, linguistics, and informatics; however, there are few applicants to the areas of study of psychology, art, Russian philology, and philosophy.
