Master's degree

Master's degree program

In Uzbekistan, a master's degree is the second level of higher education available to individuals with a bachelor's degree. Admission is carried out based on the results of entrance exams conducted according to the rating system and requires confirmation of the level of foreign language proficiency. Starting from 2025, a foreign language proficiency certificate confirming B2 or C1 proficiency will be required for admission, depending on the specialty.

Main points of admission to the master's program:

• Entrance tests:

Conducted in a foreign language, specialty profile, and taking into account the average score of the bachelor's diploma.

Starting from 2025, a B2 or C1 level is mandatory for all applicants.

In August (on the basis of grants and contracts) and in January (for unfilled places).

• Competitive basis:

Applicants compete based on their scores, primarily for state grants.

• Paid seats:

The remaining applicants may be admitted on a paid basis within the established quotas.
