Inha University in Tashkent

About Inha University in Tashkent

IUT opened in 2014 and initially admitted students in computer and information engineering. Its timeline records the addition of logistics in 2016, master’s activity from 2018, state accreditation in 2020 and the MBA in Digital Transformation in 2021. The university remains operational and is running active undergraduate and graduate admissions for the 2026–2027 academic year. The institution occupies a distinctive position in Uzbekistan’s higher-education system. It was created by presidential decision and works with Inha University in South Korea, but Uzbekistan’s amended legal framework gives IUT responsibility for organizing teaching and permits more than one diploma arrangement. Graduates following Korean Inha educational programs receive the prescribed Inha University diploma, while graduates of programs developed by IUT in agreement with Korean Inha may receive a prescribed diploma recognized as a higher-education document in Uzbekistan. This distinction matters when comparing programs or planning further study abroad. IUT’s portfolio is specialized rather than comprehensive. Its established Korean-program divisions cover computer and information engineering and business and logistics. Separate UK-program admissions for 2026–2027 cover information technology and business and management. Graduate provision includes the MBA in Digital Transformation. The official website also identifies laboratories, a library, internship activity, student support and career services. Applicants should evaluate IUT by the precise pathway offered, because curriculum ownership, academic structure, fees and diploma arrangements are not necessarily identical across programs.

Undergraduate admissions for 2026–2027 differ by program and applicant category. For the Korean-program route, regular applicants must be secondary-school, lyceum or college graduates, or eligible 2026 graduates. Regular selection uses an on-site written examination: mathematics and physics for computer and information engineering, and mathematics for business and logistics. International special admission instead uses document evaluation and an English-language interview, considering school grades and English proficiency. English requirements also vary. For the Korean-program route, the published minimum is IELTS 5.0 or TOEFL iBT 50 for computer and information engineering, and IELTS 5.5 or TOEFL iBT 71 for business and logistics. The UK-program regular route uses the same respective thresholds for Information Technology and Business and Management, while international applicants to either UK program need IELTS 5.5 or TOEFL iBT 71. Relevant English-medium education can qualify for an exemption under the conditions stated in each guideline. The 2026–2027 UK-program entrance examinations were scheduled for April 19, June 29 and August 2, 2026, with a UZS 200,000 or USD 20 application fee. The Korean-program schedule uses separate examination dates and may offer a third round depending on remaining places. Because several published dates had already passed by the profile date of August 20, 2026, applicants should contact admissions rather than assume that applications remain open. MBA applicants need a bachelor’s degree or expected completion, IELTS 5.5 or TOEFL iBT 71 unless exempt, and must complete document review and an English interview. Graduate applications are assessed on a rolling basis after all required documents are submitted.

Undergraduate study is organized through several program frameworks. The Korean-program admissions guidance identifies the School of Computer and Information Engineering and the School of Business and Logistics. Computer and information engineering applicants are tested in mathematics and physics, while business and logistics applicants are tested in mathematics. The business school separates Business Administration and Logistics. Because the institution’s degree-award arrangements vary by curriculum, applicants should ask which diploma applies to the exact intake and program they select. For 2026–2027, the separate UK-program route offers Information Technology and Business and Management. Students admitted to Information Technology are assigned after the first year to Data Science, Artificial Intelligence or Cyber Security under IUT regulations. Both UK routes use a mathematics entrance examination for regular applicants. These are distinct from the Korean-program divisions and have their own quotas, fee schedule and admissions guidance. At graduate level, IUT is admitting students to an MBA in Digital Transformation for 2026–2027. Applicants must hold, or be completing, a bachelor’s degree. Selection combines review of undergraduate academic performance and English proficiency with an interview conducted in English. The university describes the curriculum as connecting management with technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain and cloud computing. The database record lists doctoral study, but the reviewed official 2026–2027 materials did not verify an active PhD award. Prospective graduate students should rely on the current program page and admissions guidance rather than assuming that every historically mentioned master’s specialization remains open.

Student Life & Environment

IUT provides academic and student-support infrastructure on its Tashkent campus. Its institutional timeline records the opening of a Career Development Center and Student Support Center in 2019, an incubation center in 2020, a cybersecurity laboratory in 2022, and additional library, laboratory, dining and residential development during 2025–2026. The university’s student pages also direct students to an association, laboratories, a library, academic calendars, curricula and internship information. On-campus accommodation is available, although placement should not be assumed. The university describes two residential facilities. The first has 200 places, including 150 designated for men and 50 for women, as well as study areas, shared kitchens, Wi-Fi and round-the-clock security. A newer nine-story residence includes four-bed and six-bed rooms, a ground floor adapted for students with disabilities, designated floors for women and men, shared kitchens, laundry facilities and a coworking area. The official page does not publish a current housing price or allocation procedure, so applicants should request those details directly. Students considering campus life should distinguish verified facilities from guaranteed access. Membership rules, activity schedules, residence eligibility and charges may change by year. The available evidence supports a compact, academically focused campus environment with organized support, residential and career resources, but not a broad claim about the number or current activity of student clubs.

Location & Surroundings

IUT is located at 9 Ziyolilar Street in the Mirzo Ulugbek district of Tashkent, postcode 100170. Undergraduate and graduate admissions pages consistently give this address, indicating that the programs covered by those pages are based at the Tashkent site. The location places students in Uzbekistan’s capital rather than in Incheon, South Korea; references to Korean study, internships or academic cooperation should not be interpreted as meaning that every student automatically studies in Korea. The campus includes teaching buildings and student facilities, along with residential accommodation described by the university as being on campus. This can simplify daily routines for students who receive a dormitory place, but the institution does not provide enough current information to assess commute times, public-transport connections or neighborhood living costs. Applicants planning to live off campus should independently compare housing options and travel routes. International students should also plan around the administrative and practical requirements of residing in Uzbekistan. The admissions office lists separate application systems for local and international applicants. Questions about immigration documentation, arrival arrangements, residence availability and accessibility should be confirmed with IUT before travel.

Costs & Career Outcomes

Published 2026–2027 undergraduate tuition varies by framework and citizenship. For the Korean-program route, annual tuition is UZS 40,400,000 for domestic students in computer and information engineering and UZS 42,300,000 for domestic students in business and logistics. The listed international tuition is USD 4,000 for either division. For the UK-program route, the published annual amounts are UZS 36,500,000 for domestic Information Technology students and UZS 35,000,000 for domestic Business and Management students; international tuition is USD 4,000 for either program. The UK guideline expressly says its tuition amounts are subject to change. The 2026–2027 MBA guidance lists tuition of UZS 46,500,000 for domestic students and USD 5,900 for international students, while also noting that the amount is to be set by August 2026. Applicants should obtain a final contract before making a financial commitment. Domestic students pay in Uzbek sums and foreign-passport holders pay in US dollars. The reviewed sources do not provide a complete current cost of attendance, dormitory fee, meal budget, insurance estimate or scholarship guarantee. Career support is institutionalized through IUT’s Career Development Center. Its stated work includes improving student and graduate competitiveness, supporting employment and helping students build careers. The university timeline also records internship-platform development and an incubation center. These services may be useful for technology, logistics and business students, but no verified placement rate, starting salary or employer outcome was found. Students should request recent program-specific internship and graduate-employment evidence when comparing value.
