Course Structure

Learning takes place through a combination of face-to-face teaching and independent study, including lectures, practical tutorials, laboratory sessions, personal development sessions, real-life project briefs and case studies.

Students study 60 ECTS credits per year. The course structure is validated by the Technical University of Munich (26th in World University Rankings 2025), but the structure of the course is a subject to change by feedback received from a variety of sources.

Entry Requirements

Educational Background

Applicants must have completed secondary school, academic lyceum, or professional college and provide diploma with academic transcripts.

Minimum English Proficiency

• IELTS 5.5 or;
• CEFR B2 (51 - 55) or;
• TOEFL iBT 46 (Only TOEFL iBT tests taken at approved test centers are accepted. The TOEFL iBT Home Edition is not accepted).

Note: If your English proficiency test certificate is not yet available, please upload it through your personal account by July 13, 2026.

Entrance Exam Requirement

Entrance Exam
Applicants are required to pass the Math & Logical Thinking entrance exam. To learn more about the exam structure and format, please refer to the exam specification page.

Exemption from Entrance Exam
Applicants with the following certificates have the opportunity to be exempted from the entrance exam and receive a 100% merit-based scholarship. To be considered for this opportunity, applicants must follow a three-step process.

• Applicants with scores below the required threshold are not eligible for exemption and must take the entrance exam.

Step 1: Meet Initial Academic Requirements

Applicants must meet both of the following requirements:

• the required score on SAT / IB / AS & A Levels Math
• the minimum required IELTS score
• Note: If your certificates are not yet available, please upload them to your personal account by June 12, 2026 to be eligible for the interview. Applicants who do not upload both required certificates by the deadline will not be eligible for the interview. In this case, applicants may still take the entrance exam and compete for a scholarship based on their exam score.

Step 2: Attend an Interview

Candidates who fulfill the academic requirements in Step 1 will be invited to an offline interview. This is a mandatory step to be considered for the scholarship and exam exemption.
The interview is designed to assess:

• The applicant’s commitment to the university as a scholarship holder
• Enthusiasm for the chosen subject
• Ability to clearly express future academic objectives

Interview Rules

• Only applicants with the required scores in IELTS and SAT / IB / AS & A Levels are eligible for the interview.
• The interview is conducted in English and must be attended in person at New Uzbekistan University.
• Each interview lasts 10 - 15 minutes.
• Each applicant may attend the interview only once.
• Applicants who pass the interview will receive an early conditional offer letter, which requires payment to secure their place.
• Applicants who do not pass or are not eligible for the interview may take the entrance exam and still compete for a scholarship based on their exam score.

Interview Dates

• Please note that the Admissions Committee will schedule interview date and time on a rolling basis. The exact date and time of your interview will be communicated via email one week in advance.

Step 3: Secure Your Place

Applicants who pass the interview will receive a conditional offer for admission with a 100% merit-based scholarship. To accept the offer and secure your place, you must make the required payment by the deadline indicated in your offer letter.

Graduation Requirements

Students will be allowed to graduate upon completion of all requirements listed below:

• - Students must have a minimum 2.00 GPA/CGPA at the end of their final semester;
• - Student must have a minimum of 240 ECTS or as designated in Handbook;
• - Students must successfully complete all University and Program requirements;
• - Students cannot have any outstanding Incompletes or IP grades on their transcripts;
• - Student must complete all degree requirements within 7 (seven) years including any leave periods, of the initial program registration date.

Fees and funding

*Starting from the 2024/2025 academic year, a special 40% scholarship is awarded to students enrolled on a tuition-fee basis in the Mechanical Engineering and Chemical and Materials Engineering programs. Therefore, the full tuition fees shown in the table above for these two programs already reflect the 40% 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.
