About Uzbekistan State World Languages University
Uzbekistan State World Languages University (UzSWLU) was established in 1949 as the Tashkent State Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages. The University has a history spanning more than 70 years.
According to Presidential Decree No. PF-401 of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated May 12, 1992, the Tashkent State Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages and the Republican Institute of Russian Language and Literature were merged to form Uzbekistan State World Languages University.
Today, the University enrolls more than 23,168 students studying nearly 20 foreign languages in accordance with international educational standards. Every year, the University prepares specialists through 27 Bachelor's degree programmes and 19 Master's degree programmes.
Students acquire profound knowledge and practical skills in language learning, foreign language teaching, translation, and interpretation. In today's rapidly changing world, the education system is constantly evolving. One of the fundamental principles of the educational process is the close relationship between language and culture.
Future teachers study modern foreign language teaching methodologies at the First, Second, and Third English Language Faculties, as well as at the Faculties of Romano-Germanic Philology, Russian Philology, English Philology, and Oriental Philology. Students of the Faculty of Translation Studies receive professional training in translation and interpretation in English, German, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. The Faculty of International Journalism prepares highly qualified journalists for international media and communication.
Graduates of the University who possess advanced foreign language skills successfully work in various fields at the international level. Among the University's alumni are professional translators, foreign language teachers, politicians, specialists working in international organizations, and leading experts employed by joint ventures and multinational companies. This demonstrates the University's high reputation and prestige.
In 2018, based on an agreement with Webster University (USA), a one-year Master's degree programme was established. This programme is unique in Central Asia and provides educational opportunities for young people from around the world.
The Republican Scientific and Practical Center for the Development of Innovative Foreign Language Teaching Methodologies, operating under Uzbekistan State World Languages University, is recognized as a leading institution in Central Asia in the field of foreign language education.
The University's educational process is aimed at preparing linguists and translators who meet the demands of the global community. Language serves as an essential tool for bringing nations and cultures closer together and fostering international cooperation.
