Message from the Rector and President

Dear students, parents, partners, and friends of New Uzbekistan University,

It is a great honor for me to lead a university that not only delivers academic programs and research initiatives, but also fulfills a national mission to transform the entire education and research ecosystem of Uzbekistan. As the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan has rightly stated, New Uzbekistan University is a flagship institution of a new generation, built for breakthrough built for the future.

I carry a dual responsibility, I serve as both the Minister of Preschool and School Education of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Rector of New Uzbekistan University. These two roles are united by a single vision to create an integrated and progressive educational ecosystem where every child, from kindergarten to university, is supported, inspired, and empowered.

New Uzbekistan University is a place for the most talented young minds of our nation. Our highly selective admissions process is designed to identify true potential, a passion for learning, and a readiness to act. Our students represent the intellectual elite of Uzbekistan, and I can confidently say: no other university in the country brings together such a concentration of gifted, driven, and ambitious youth.

This status is recognized at the highest level. According to the Presidential Decree of May 15, 2025, only the graduates of New Uzbekistan University along with graduates of Presidential Schools and recipients of the “El-yurt umidi” scholarship are officially included in the Presidential Community for Supporting Gifted Youth. This is not just an honor, it is a national responsibility and a symbol of trust.

Our faculty represents the best from around the world scholars and experts from 26 countries. This is not just an international team, it is a community of world-class professionals who teach, inspire, and expand the horizons of our students. They are educators who ignite minds and shape future leaders.

Alongside education, research lies at the heart of our mission. We are building an ecosystem where faculty, students, and partners work together to solve real-world challenges across science, economy, and society. We actively promote applied research, interdisciplinary projects, and innovation initiatives that make a tangible impact on the development of Uzbekistan and the region.

New Uzbekistan University is the only university in the country with its own internal grant system for funding both faculty- and student-led research projects, a unique model that supports academic freedom, creativity, and discovery.

Our ambition goes beyond national borders. We aim to become a flagship university not only for Uzbekistan, but for the entire Central Asian region. That is why New Uzbekistan University is being developed in strategic partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of Cambridge, and the Technical University of Munich (TUM). These are not just collaborations, they are foundations for building the future.

Dear students, esteemed colleagues, and friends I invite you to be part of this transformation.

New Uzbekistan University is a place of strength, talent, research, and inspiration. It is a university the world will talk about tomorrow, and one we deeply believe in today.

Welcome to the family of New Uzbekistan University.
