= = = Westminster International University in Tashkent (WIUT) =

**WIUT is established by the order of the president of Uzbekistan and the approval of the Minis-ters’ Board in January, 2002. So far, 700 specs have graduated from it. It is located in the heart of the capital, very close to the Amir Timur Square, the underground station with the same name, the Uzbekistan Hotel and the Palace of Meetings.**

**Students are accepted to study on both tuition and contract base. Out of 300 in general, 280 students are accepted on tuition base, while the rest 20 places are given for students, studying on grant base. 10 places out of the 20 are allotted for regional students, whereas the other 10 are gi-ven to Tashkent dwellers. For participating in the exam for grant a student should have full gene-ral (compulsory) education. The examinee is required to be 17 years old at least till the beginning of academic year. For applying for the admission, a prospective student is required to fill in the application form, bring the passport copy and 2 passport-sized photos. If a student is aiming to enter on the grant base, he/she should, in addition to the described procedure, bring 6 more pho-tos, IELTS certificate or certificate from the British Council, ensuring that the student is register-ed for the exam, medical certificate (form #086), pre-conscription certificate (for a male appli-cant).**

**The following faculties are comprised in the university:** **There Bachelor’s, Master’s Degree is taught. Differing from both of them, the Postgraduate Degree is taught without diploma. Instead, they hand in certificates for postgraduates.**
 * **Certificate of International Foundation Studies (the first year)**
 * **BA Business Administration**
 * **BSc Economics**
 * **BSc Economics with Finance**
 * **BA International Commercial Law**
 * **BSc Business Information Systems**

**Like the entrance process, the study process is organized in western pattern as well. Students are treated as adult enough people to wear almost any style of clothing they feel comfortable in, and they are not called to and out of classes by bells as it is in traditional local universities, because there is no need to remind to a grown-up person all the time what he/she must do. They are adult enough to know the time of lessons and breaks. There are 8 hours equaling to 12 hours of study in a week. So, students are given much free time, though usually they have to spend it either on self-study in the largest and modern library (more than 25 thousand books) among all existing in high education edifices in our country, or they do sports in the sport complex. The latter was opened in May of 2009 and the Prince Michael of Kent partook in the opening that, incidentally, shows that this university is truly accepted as a rightful successor of its British forebear. The sport centre of the campus includes brilliant facilities to be involved in a variety of sports, such as football, basketball, badminton, rugby, gym, etc. Students have computer labs where they are able to use free access to the internet. However, all those opportunities are only aimed to ease students’ study, because if they do not have all assignments ready in timely fashion, they may lose valuable grades. The students can get preparations for presentations, yearly essays or some other various tests, besides midterms and finals. If one takes 70 points or more, he/she is consi-dered a ‘distinction’, if 40 or more – ‘pass’, while 30 or more means ‘taken’, but if lower, he/she might have to go on studying in ‘semester 9’ during the upcoming summer to contribute to the lacking points. There are two canteens in the campus of the university, one being smaller and enough just for having a snack and another, in the lyceum – large, for having a full-fledged dinner. It is important to say that there a hostel for the students of the university within 3.5 km from the campus, with excellent facilities and a capacity of 150 students. There is a Career Development Centre, successfully functioning for employment of graduates. Many interesting events have been held so far by the Student Union, ruled by students’ themselves. There are many more things that we can illustrate to show how high-ranked this university is, but it is already evident that it is one the best universities of Central Asia, if not the best! Consequently, we conclude, that a student will not be regretting about time and tuition fees he/she paid to study in this edifice, when graduating from it, given that the university takes care of the future careers of its alumni.**
