Dear friends and guests, dear students and their parents,
First of all, let me welcome all of you on behalf of Kimyo International University in Tashkent.
I would like to take this opportunity to say that, at present, under the leadership of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, fundamental reforms in the sphere of higher education are under way.
A significant example of this is the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. UP-5847 of 8 October 2019 “On approval of the Concept for the development of the higher education system of the Republic of Uzbekistan until 2030”. In particular, the Head of State pays special attention to developing public-private partnership in higher education, raising higher education enrolment above 50 per cent by organising the activity of public and private higher education institutions in the regions, and creating a healthy competitive environment.
Thanks to the reforms carried out in our country to develop non-governmental higher education services, a number of non-governmental higher education institutions operate in the country, including our university, Kimyo International University in Tashkent.
For its first four years the university operated under the brand “Yeoju Technical Institute in Tashkent”. In this short period, the number of its educational directions grew to 29, the institute received the international quality management certificate ISO 9001:2015 and international accreditation of 9 educational programmes, and entered the database of the European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education (EQAR) for its humanitarian and economic directions.
A strategic objective has now been set: to enter the EUR-ACE (European Accredited Engineer) database for technical directions, to undergo international accreditation of all educational programmes, and to organise the international institutional accreditation of the whole university in the coming years.
Over the same period, the network and geography of international cooperation with partner universities abroad have grown. In the first year our main partner was Yeoju Institute of Technology of the Republic of Korea; today we have more than 50 partner universities in different countries, and close ties in education with universities such as Hanyang, Gachon, Hankyong National University, Chosun, Jeonju and Daegu (Republic of Korea), Roosevelt University (USA), NILE and Strathclyde (UK), Riga Technical University, Turiba University and the Baltic International Academy (Latvia), the Technical University of Berlin and the International University of Applied Sciences (Germany), Yildiz Technical University and Istanbul Aydin University (Turkey), and many others.
Taking into account the suggestions of our international partner universities and of the international experts of the accreditation commission, it was decided to rebrand the institute and raise its status to that of an international university. Since October 2022 our higher education institution has been called Kimyo International University in Tashkent.
In line with the objectives set by the Head of State and the state policy in higher education as a whole, Kimyo International University in Tashkent continues to implement curricula based on the credit-module system, developed together with Korean and European experts in step with the latest advances in education, science and technology of developed countries, including the Republic of Korea. Along with in-depth theoretical training, the university pays special attention to developing students’ practical skills and logical and creative thinking, and to broadening academic and practical ties with the real sectors of the economy. It also creates favourable conditions for gaining up-to-date knowledge through the “2+2”, “3+1”, “2+1+1” and “2+2+1” exchange programmes and other academic mobility programmes with partner universities.
Besides that, the university continues to improve its infrastructure and facilities and to involve leading international scholars, teachers and practitioners in the educational process.
Welcome to Kimyo International University in Tashkent!
