How to choose a university and apply

According to Belstat, 418 citizens of Uzbekistan studied in Belarusian universities in the 2019-2020 academic year. And by 2023-2024 this number has increased 6 times. At the moment, 2,434 students from Uzbekistan receive higher education in the Republic of Belarus. In terms of nationalities, citizens of Uzbekistan occupy the second place in the number of undergraduate and graduate students studying in higher education institutions of the Republic of Belarus. Uzbek applicants most often apply for such fields of study as information technology and programming.

In order to improve the training of highly qualified engineering and technical personnel in Uzbekistan's industries and strengthen international co-operation in higher education, the Belarusian-Uzbek Interindustry Institute of Applied Technical Qualifications was established in Tashkent by decision of the President of Uzbekistan. This Institute has become an independent subdivision of BNTU, which carries out educational and scientific activities, as well as educational and methodological work within the framework of certain areas and specialities of specialist training. Upon finishing their studies, graduates of the Institute are granted a diploma of higher education of the established standard of the Belarusian National Technical University, which is recognised as a document of higher education in Uzbekistan.
