The main goal of Kakha Bendukidze, FreeUni's founder, was to provide opportunities for a quality education to every motivated person in Georgia, regardless of his or her financial conditions.

While the Free University is governed by a combination of its Board of Overseers and the Knowledge Foundation, each school's faculty oversees its respective curriculum and degree programs.

A biologist by education, Bendukidze started his own business, Bioprocess, which manufactured biochemicals for scientific research in 1987.

In Russia, he was a strong opponent of government intervention in the economy, a view that put him at odds with President Vladimir Putin.

The government managed to decrease the taxes fourfold, the number of licenses by 90% and liberalize the labour market.

The curriculum provides knowledge in literature, culture, religion and history with a choice of specialization in one language.

The MACS program has the highest-performing students in Georgia according to their performance on the Georgian Unified National Examinations.

Students gain knowledge in the fields of philosophy, anthropology, sociology, psychology, history, art, and literature.

Additionally, students take courses in business, economy, law, and project management to further prepare them for career development and future leadership in government, commercial and non-government organizations, and the media.

The degree provides a sound basis either for entering graduate school or for pursuing a variety of careers in various sectors.
