Andijan State University named after Zakhiriddin Mukhammad Bobur

Based on the demand and need for philological personnel in the Fergana Valley, the groundwork for training qualified specialists in Uzbek language and literature began in 1936 at the Andijan State Evening Studies Pedagogical Institute. In 1939, students were admitted to the full-time and part-time departments of the Andijan State Teachers’ Institute. On April 28, 1992, a number of structural changes were implemented in connection with the establishment of Andijan State University on the basis of the Andijan State Pedagogical Institute. In particular, on the basis of the Faculty of History and Philology, two faculties History and Philology - were established.

It should be noted that after the institution was granted university status, new academic programs were opened. In this regard, the specializations of journalism and oriental studies were directly related to the activities of the faculty. Accordingly, for a certain period, the faculty was referred to by names such as “Uzbek Philology and Journalism” and “Uzbek Philology and Oriental Studies”.

The Faculty of Philology possesses significant academic potential not only within the university but also among higher education institutions of the republic, having established a strong scholarly school in the fields of Uzbek linguistics and Uzbek literary studies. The further enhancement and development of the faculty’s public, organizational, educational, methodological, spiritual-enlightenment, and research activities are primarily attributable to the work of the academic staff, including 15 Doctors of Science, nearly 40 Candidates of Science (PhD), 5 members of the Writers association of Uzbekistan, and 1 member of the Journalists association of Uzbekistan, as well as to the invaluable contributions of the organizing leader, currently holds the position as the faculty dean, Doctor Philological Sciences, professor Rahmonov Bahodir Mamajonovich.

At present, four specialized departments operate within the faculty. These are: the departments of Uzbek Linguistics, Uzbek Literary Studies, Russian Philology, and English Philology.
