Student Life & Environment

Campus life combines university-managed housing, student organizations, study facilities, and sport. The official accommodation page describes two dormitories with a combined capacity of 760 students. Rooms accommodate two to four people and include furniture and study workstations; residents share kitchens, bathrooms, showers, Wi-Fi-enabled lounges, and other common facilities. The residence area uses access controls and continuous surveillance, and the university reports a 24-hour medical station. Applicants should ask separately about 2026/27 availability, allocation priority, contracts, and total housing charges because a place should not be assumed from the published capacity alone. The library provides individual and group study areas, computers, internet access, electronic databases, printers, and scanners. Sports provision includes a renovated indoor hall, courts for volleyball and basketball, mini-football space, exercise equipment, and tennis courts. The admissions site also reports interest-based clubs, sports sections, and university events, while the institutional site lists a Students’ Union and club structure. This is a campus-centered environment with academic buildings, residences, the library, and sports facilities located close together. International and domestic students may also find the English-medium setting and Korea-focused activities useful for cross-cultural interaction. Specific club schedules and residence rules can change, so students should request the current calendar and housing regulations before enrolling.

Location & Surroundings

The university is located at 113 and 113A Asalobod Street in Tashkent’s Yashnabad district, postal code 100204. This places students in Uzbekistan’s capital rather than in the historic center of the South Korean parent university’s home city. Academic buildings, dormitories, the library, and sports facilities are described as being within walking distance of one another, supporting a relatively self-contained daily routine. For public-transport access, the university operates a weekday morning shuttle from Dustlik metro station to campus. The published service leaves at 8:00, but students should verify the current timetable and return arrangements because the page does not describe a full-day schedule. Dustlik links the campus area to Tashkent’s wider metro network, which is operated as part of the city’s public-transport system. Living in Tashkent offers access to the country’s principal urban center, but prospective residents should budget for commuting and everyday living independently of tuition. Those considering university housing should compare its availability and rules with private accommodation before making a decision.

Costs & Career Outcomes

Published 2026/27 tuition is program-dependent and distinguishes domestic from international charges. Architecture, Interior Design, AI Software Engineering, Civil Systems Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering are listed at UZS 32,500,000 for domestic students and US$2,500 for international students. IT Business, Business Administration, Korean Philology and Management, and English Philology and Management are listed at UZS 26,000,000 and US$2,000 respectively. The same page separately displays UZS 19,500,000 and US$1,500 for Interior Design, creating an unresolved inconsistency; applicants should obtain a written fee quotation before paying. Admission scholarships ranging from 10% to 100% are advertised for combinations of examination results, language or standardized-test scores, Olympiad performance, and designated-school backgrounds. These are eligibility descriptions rather than a guarantee of an award. The university also advertises weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual payment options. Housing, food, transport, insurance, visa expenses, and other living costs are not included in the reviewed tuition table. Career preparation is tied to the applied program mix and an institutional graduate-employment division. A 2026 university brochure describes résumé and interview training, vacancy information, career fairs, employer networking, and a structured internship pipeline. It reports more than 60 industry partners but does not publish independently verified graduate salaries or placement rates. Mobility and internships may strengthen experience, yet outcomes will depend on the student’s field, language skills, academic record, and participation.
