Fees and funding
| Tuition Fee: | * 22,800,000 UZS per year |
There are five types of funding:
1. Merit based scholarship - merit based scholarships are given on a competition basis for local students who get high scores in the entrance examination. This scholarship is given for owing to each academic program for 1 year ONLY (for 1st year) according to the following scheme.
| Merit Scholarship | Percentage |
| Top 10% of the announced quota | 100% scholarship |
| The following 10% of the announced quota | 70% scholarship |
| The following 15% of the announced quota | 50% scholarship |
2. Academic scholarship - every year (for 2nd, 3rd, 4th years), academic scholarships are given on a competition basis for local students who get high scores from all taught courses in ONE academic year in each program.
Based on the scores from all taught courses in ONE academic year, the percentage of scholarship for a student is a subject to change every year (for 2nd, 3rd, 4th years). It means that every year (for 2nd, 3rd, 4th years), the percentage of academic scholarship for a student may increase or decrease or cancelled based on student’s academic performance.If academic scholarship is cancelled due to student’s low academic performance, the student will automatically be placed in the list of students studying based on a tuition fee.
In addition, even contract basis students have an opportunity to get academic scholarship if they show high academic performance from all taught courses in ONE academic year
Students who are admitted on contract basis (in the 1st year) have a chance to be placed in the list of academic scholarship students if they show high academic performance during the following years.
Therefore, all scholarship and contract basis students must study hard and compete with each other to get academic scholarship. This scholarship is given according to the following scheme.
| Merit Scholarship | Percentage |
| Top 10% of the announced quota | 100% scholarship |
| The following 10% of the announced quota | 70% scholarship |
| The following 15% of the announced quota | 50% scholarship |

Career / Job opportunities
The employment opportunities in the field of chemical and materials engineering are far-reaching, with the potential to take you all over the world. Qualifying with a degree in chemical engineering will set you up with the core foundations you need to pursue an exciting career across a wide range of industries. They might start out as:
Chemical engineer – You will be involved in the design and development of a range of products. Your work will focus on changing the chemical, biochemical and physical state of a substance to turn it into something else, such as making plastic from oil. You'll need to understand how to alter raw materials into required products, while taking into consideration health and safety and cost issues.
Petroleum engineer - They are involved in nearly all of the stages of oil and gas field evaluation, development and production. Their aim is to drill for hydrocarbons in the most efficient way, and to resolve any operating issues. Petroleum engineers can also be responsible for using new drilling tools and techniques, and getting the most out of underperforming or older wells. Throughout the entire extraction process, petroleum engineers are tasked with reducing the effect of drilling on the environment.
Material engineer – You will work with various materials to improve their performance or create new materials to help advance technologies or products. You'll need an understanding of the properties and behaviors of different substances, from raw materials to finished products. You could work with a range of materials including ceramics, plastics, polymers or industrial minerals. There's always a need for materials to have better durability or strength and to be more cost effective to help with various processes and products. Work can therefore be found in a range of industries. Depending on where you work, materials engineering may be referred to as materials science or materials technology.
