Tashkent State University of Economics (TSUE) occupies a compact 7.9 ha (78 981 m²) city-center campus where teaching, living and recreation are integrated within five minutes’ walk. Of this footprint 53 266 m² are dedicated to teaching, 5 476 m² to the Information-Resource Centre, 20 150 m² to residence halls and 2 688 m² to dining, retail and support services. Beyond Tashkent the University maintains a lakeside recreation & field-practice estate for staff and students as well as an experimental training plot for applied research in agribusiness and green technologies. All core services operate in Uzbek, Russian and English and comply with TSUE’s certified Health, Safety and Environmental Management Systems.
Sports & recreation- A dedicated sports quarter behind the main academic blocks contains five outdoor arenas—an all-weather football pitch, a 400-seat mini-stadium, and separate volleyball, badminton and basketball courts—plus an indoor fitness complex with cardio and free-weight zones. Qualified coaches run after-class programmers in tennis, futsal, gymnastics and aerobics, while the Sports Medicine Unit provides baseline health checks for every scholarship athlete (https://tsue.uz/en/page/sport-facilities).
Library & academic support- The four-store Information-Resource Centre (IRC) houses Central Asia’s largest economics collection, collaborative reading rooms, Bloomberg terminals and a digitization studio. For course texts and stationery the on-site Bookstore doubles as an “ideas hub” that hosts author talks, book swaps and themed displays during Global Money Week and similar events ( https://www.unipage.net/en/21873/tashkent_state_university_of_economics ) (https://tsue.uz/en/page/bookstore).
All lecture rooms meet 4th-generation multimedia standards—HD laser projection, smart boards and hybrid-teaching cameras—and each faculty hosts sponsored Training & Simulation Centers run jointly with leading commercial banks and corporations. These “Smart Classrooms” allow students to practise real-time trading, ERP scenarios and data-analytics cases on industry software.
Dining- Three subsidized cafeterias (600 seats) serve hot meals from 08:00-19:00. Menus always include halal, vegetarian and low-salt options, cash-free payment and free filtered water. Interiors follow a “third-space” design with USB-power, soft seating and campus Wi-Fi so that students can eat and study in the same venue (https://tsue.uz/en/page/cafeterias).
Accommodation- TSUE operates three residence halls providing 1 456 beds. Dormitory 1 (620 beds) is reserved for first-year undergraduates; Dormitories 2 & 3 house senior and international students and include family rooms and fully accessible units. All halls offer 24-hour security, resident tutors, self-service laundries, communal kitchens and high-speed internet (https://tsue.uz/en/page/dormitory).
Health & well-being- Student welfare is anchored by the Abu Ali Ibn Sina Health Support Service, an on-campus clinic staffed by physicians, nurses and a psychologist. It provides first aid, vaccination drives, sexual-health advice, stress-management workshops and fast-track referrals to partner hospitals. Emergency cover is available 24/7 and routine appointments can be booked online (https://tsue.uz/en/page/health-support-service).
Accessibility & inclusion- In line with Uzbekistan’s national EDI strategy, TSUE has retro-fitted all buildings with ramps, elevators, tactile paving and accessible wash-rooms, and supplies Braille signage, screen-reader software and induction loops. A dedicated Support Centre for Minority Groups coordinates mentors, peer buddies and targeted scholarships (https://conference.wiut.uz/images/documents/Eng_Inclusive_University_Good_Practice_Guide_13022024p.pdf) (https://tsue.uz/en/contests).
Sustainability & “Green Campus”-  Campus landscaping is continually enriched to promote local flora and fauna, and all new planting follows a water-efficient xeriscape plan. A phased roll-out of rooftop solar arrays aims to cover 50 % of the University’s electricity demand by the end of 2025. Classrooms are being fitted with motion-sensor LED lighting, and all water taps are being converted to sensor-activated units to cut consumption. Bike-share docks and e-scooter charging points further reduce car use.
Social & community spaces- “Social Rooms” on every academic floor provide microwaves, lockers and lounge furniture for informal gatherings, while multi-purpose halls host debates, TEDx events and cultural nights. Outdoor Wi-Fi gardens and a rooftop terrace overlooking the Ankhor Canal extend study space during spring and autumn (https://tsue.uz/page/social-rooms).
Campus services (selected)
  • 24-hour security and CCTV at all gates
  • Career Centre offering weekly employer drop-ins, mock interviews and a start-up incubator

Student life

Tashkent State University of Economics (TSUE) delivers an active, deliberately inclusive student experience that balances academic rigor with extensive cultural, sporting and social opportunities. Every initiative on campus is overseen by the Student Union and the Department for Social Affairs, whose joint charter guarantees that events are bilingual (Uzbek / Russian) with simultaneous English support, physically accessible and low-cost or free to attend.
Vibrant calendar of events- More than 150 date-based activities punctuate the academic year. Social highlights include Teacher’s Day, International Women’s Day, the campus Comedy Show and the spring Navruz festival, each drawing 1 000+ participants to the main square for concerts, food fairs and student-run pop-up markets (https://tsue.uz/en/page/social-life). Intellectual fixtures such as the Zakovat and Brain quiz-clubs, thematic workshops and case competitions are scheduled weekly, ensuring that extracurricular learning remains continuous rather than episodic.
Clubs, teams and competitions- Under the “One Student—One Club” policy every first-year is matched with at least one registered society from a list that spans volleyball, swimming, tennis, chess, fitness, judo, arm-wrestling and ping-pong through to debating, photography and fintech coding groups (https://tsue.uz/en/page/students-teams). Competitive sport is anchored by the annual Rector’s Cup, a month-long tournament whose 2025 edition involved 46 teams across eight disciplines and culminated in a televised awards ceremony in June 2025 (https://tsue.uz/en/news/toshkent-davlat-iqtisodiyot-universitetida-rektor-kubogi-sport-musobaqalarining-yakuniy-bosqichi-va-taqdirlash-marosimi-bolib-otdi). Winning squads gain priority access to the University’s international exchange roster for the following semester.
Living-learning communities- TSUE’s three residence halls are programmed around thematic “floors”: Entrepreneurship, Languages & Cultures, Sustainability, and Health. Resident tutors organise floor-specific masterclasses (e.g., start-up pitch nights on the Entrepreneurship floor) and coordinate weekend service trips with local NGOs. Communal Social Rooms on every level—equipped with kitchenettes, sofas, print stations and video-game consoles—act as informal hubs where domestic and international students can mix outside formal study hours (https://tsue.uz/page/social-rooms).
Inclusion and personal support- A dedicated Support Centre for Minority Groups supplies peer mentors, legal counselling and scholarship guidance to women in STEM, first-generation students and ethnic-minority groups. All buildings incorporate wheelchair ramps, Braille signage and induction loops; lecture recordings are automatically captioned in Uzbek and English. For physical and mental health the on-site Abu Ali ibn Sina Health Support Service offers 24/7 first aid, vaccination drives, free mental-health counselling and reproductive-health advice (https://tsue.uz/en/page/health-support-service).
Food, retail and “third-spaces”- Three campus cafeterias supply subsidized, halal-certified menus and “grab-and-go” counters until 19:00; extended hours operate during exam weeks. A student-run Bookstore Café doubles as an ideas lab hosting author talks and second-hand textbook swaps, reinforcing the University’s sustainability agenda.
Community engagement & global outlook- TSUE students log a combined 20 000+ volunteer hours each year through initiatives ranging from weekend English clubs in local schools to pro-bono tax-filing clinics for small businesses. International exposure is supported by language tandems, Model UN simulations and 60+ exchange slots under Erasmus+, Mevlana and CAMPUS Asia frameworks.
Digital & physical safety-  The campus is fully CCTV-monitored, guarded 24 hours and smoke-free. A real-time mobile app (“TSUE Life”) pushes event reminders, room-booking options and emergency alerts while letting students rate every activity for future funding decisions.
Sustainability in daily life- Student Life aligns with TSUE’s Green Campus roadmap: waste-sorting bins are colour-coded across all common areas; bike-share docks and e-scooter chargers sit at each gate; dormitories run “Eco-Floor” energy-saving contests that have cut electricity use by 12 % since 2023.

Cost of Living

Living costs in Tashkent remain moderate by regional standards: Numbeo’s mid-2025 survey puts the Uzbek capital’s cost-of-living index at 26.5 (New York = 100) with average outlays of US $485/month for a single person, excluding rent ( https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/in/Tashkent ).  Below is a guide to help applicants build a realistic budget.
Housing and utilities :
  • On-campus: a dormitory bed—including heat, electricity, water and Wi-Fi—costs roughly UZS 250 000 to 400 000 per month (US $20–32).
  • Off-campus: a shared, two- or three-bedroom apartment in the city center averages US $180–230 in rent, plus about US $40 for utilities. TSUE operates three residence halls with 1 456 beds arranged in two- to four-person rooms.
Food :
  • Living in the halls and eating mainly in the TSUE cafeterias will run US $120–160 a month; set meals start at about UZS 20 000 (US $1.60).
  • Students who cook at home and dine out occasionally should budget US $150–220 if they share a flat. (Source: numbeo.com).
Local transport:
  • A student monthly pass for the metro and municipal buses costs about US $12. The standard cash fare is UZS 1 700, and taxis charge roughly UZS 6 000 per kilometer.
Books and academic supplies:
  • Allow around US $30 per semester for stationery and any print texts you cannot access through the Information-Resource Centre or its Bloomberg terminals.
Mobile and Internet :
  • Students in the dorms can buy a 10 GB data bundle for about US $6 a month. Off-campus users usually spend US $10–12 because of higher data allowances or fibre-optic plans.
Health and sport:
  • Basic medical care at the on-site Abu Ali ibn Sina clinic is free; use of the campus fitness center is about US $20 per month. Rates are similar for off-campus students who join the same gym.
Leisure and personal spending:
  • Dorm residents who keep entertainment modest—infrequent cafés, the occasional cinema ticket—typically spend US $40–60 monthly. Students living in town and socializing more actively should expect US $60–90. A cinema ticket or a café meal averages UZS 60 000. (Source: numbeo.com)
These benchmarks suggest three basic monthly budgets :
  • Minimal (dormitory + self-catering): US $350–400.
  • Comfort (shared flat + mixed dining): US $550–650.
  • Private studio lifestyle: US $800 or more.
Prudent choices—paying dorm fees annually to avoid mid-year indexation, relying on subsidized cafeterias, and using TSUE’s book-swap scheme—help most students keep total annual living costs between US $4 200 and US $4 800, roughly half the outlay required in comparable Eastern-European capitals.
All figures use the May 2025 exchange rate of US $1 ≈ UZS 12 700 and draw on Numbeo’s June 2025 survey and Wise’s cost tracker for Tashkent.
Dorm fees follow national guidelines; exact figure confirmed each August by TSUE’s Student Housing Centre.
Indicative monthly budgets :
  • Minimal (dormitory, self-catering) → US $350–400.
  • Comfort (shared apartment, mix of cooking & dining out) → US $550–650.
  • Private studio lifestyle → US $800+ .
All sums use the May 2025 exchange rate US $1 ≈ UZS 12 700 and reflect Uzbekistan’s year-on-year inflation of ≈ 10 %  ( https://cbu.uz/en/monetary-policy/annual-inflation/indicators/ ). TSUE updates its advice every June; students can lock in costs by:
  • Paying dorm fees annually to avoid in-year indexation.
  • Using the campus cafeterias (set menus 60 % below city-center prices).
  • Claiming the 50 % student discount on Uzbekistan Railways tickets for regional travel.
  • Joining TSUE’s book-swap programme and making full use of the digital library before buying texts.
With prudent choices most students report spending US $4 200–4 800 per academic year, roughly half the outlay required in comparable Eastern European capitals.

Tashkent State University of Economics (TSUE) layers state subsidies, institutional scholarships, corporate sponsorships, international grants and subsidised education loans so that qualified students can enroll regardless of income.
State-funded contracts- Every year the Ministry of Higher Education assigns tuition-free “budget” places to TSUE; recipients pay no fees and receive a state stipend whose size and payment rules are set in a government resolution on student benefits ( https://lex.uz/uz/docs/6115526?ONDATE=23.10.2021 ).  Tuition for fee-paying places in 2024/25 ranges from UZS 10–16 million (≈ US $900–1200) depending on level and major ( https://tsue.uz/en/page/contract-prices-2024 ).  Top-ranked entrants also compete for Presidential-series scholarships, which increase the stipend by 50 % and guarantee dormitory accommodation.
TSUE institutional awards- The University itself offers four permanent schemes.  The Rector’s Merit Award halves tuition for applicants in the top five per cent of the entrance ranking or those holding IELTS 7.0+.  The Women-in-STEM Grant lowers fees by 30 % for forty female entrants to economics or IT and grew out of TSUE’s campus STEM-program initiative (https://tsue.uz/news/kraudfanding-platformasi-va-stem-dasturi).  The Green Campus Scholarship waives 25 % of tuition and adds a six-million-UZS stipend for sustainability projects, while the Path-to-Scholarship Fund can remove up to 100 % of fees for low-income families.  All four awards are renewable so long as students keep a GPA of 3.0, complete twenty hours of community service and remain in good standing.
Corporate sponsorships- Banks and corporates finance additional aid.  Turonbank Scholarship pays a two-million-UZS monthly stipend for six months to 100 awardees drawn from all degree levels (https://tsue.uz/en/news/tdiu-talabalari-turonbank-stipendiyasini-qolga-kiritishdi).  Asakabank offers a one-off ten-million-UZS grant to final-year students, and UZUM Tech funds full master’s tuition plus an internship for up to fifteen data-science candidates each year.  Most such awards require six to eighteen months of service at the donor institution after graduation.
International mobility & external grants- Outbound students retain their TSUE funding while enjoying tuition waivers and monthly stipends from Erasmus+, CAMPUS Asia or DAAD; Erasmus+ typically pays €800–1 000 per month plus partial airfare.  Two hundred-plus TSUE students secured such packages in 2024, all processed through the International Grants Unit.
Graduate assistantships & research fellowships- Master’s teaching assistants receive a 25 % fee waiver and earn about 1.2 million UZS a month for ten hours of work weekly.  PhD research assistants obtain full tuition cover plus a 3.5-million-UZS stipend, financed from external grants. Agencies such as KOICA and the ADB also provide monthly allowances of US $300–500 to researchers attached to donor-funded projects.
State-backed education loans- Uzbek citizens may finance any remaining tuition through a Youth-Support-Fund-insured education loan offered by Xalq Bank, NBU and Ipak Yo‘li.  Loans carry an interest rate equal to the Central-Bank base minus four percentage points (about 14 % in 2025), run for up to seven years and feature a grace period covering the study period plus six months after graduation ([uzdaily.uz][5]).  Up to 75 % of the bank’s risk is guaranteed by the state.
On-campus earnings- TSUE employs 120–150 students each semester in the library, IT help-desk and peer-tutoring programmes.  Pay averages UZS 5 000 000 per month (≈ US $400) and does not reduce scholarship eligibility.
Fee management & inflation protection- Tuition at Uzbekistan’s public universities rose by an average of 15 % for 2024/25, yet TSUE caps any subsequent increase for each cohort at “consumer-price index plus two points (https://www.gazeta.uz/en/2024/07/29/contracts/).  The CPI itself stood at 8.7 % year-on-year in May 2025 (https://stat.uz/img/press-reliz-ipts-za-maj2025-eng_p98859.pdf).  Students can further reduce costs through a ten-per-cent sibling discount, a five-per-cent early-payment rebate and instalment plans (four quarterly payments for domestic students, two semester payments for internationals).
By integrating state subsidies, university waivers, corporate grants, international mobility funding and subsidized credit, TSUE builds a 360-degree finance ecosystem that lets students focus on learning rather than on financial barriers.

Scholarships

Selecting the right scholarship can be a daunting process. With countless options available, students often find themselves overwhelmed and confused. The decision can be especially stressful for those facing financial constraints or pursuing specific academic or career goals.

To help students navigate this challenging process, we recommend the following articles:

Frequently Asked Questions

10 oriental languages are taught: 1) Turkish; 2) Arabic; 3) Persian language; 4) Dari language; 5) Indian language; 6) Urdu language; 7) Chinese; 8) Korean language; 9) Uighur language; 10) Japanese language.
One of the important rules regarding the test in a foreign language is as follows: Suppose that the applicant studied German as a foreign language at school, lyceum or college (this subject is indicated in the appendix to his certificate or diploma). So, when entering a higher educational institution, he passes a test in German as a foreign language. However, the applicant wants to choose another foreign language, not German. Here the applicant has two options: (1) English or (2) French. You can choose one of these 2 languages. English learners can choose between German and French. French learners can choose between German and English. Therefore, an applicant who has studied one of the English, German or French languages as a foreign language can take the test in one of these three languages (any of these three languages must be indicated in his certificate or diploma).
If an applicant studied one of the three foreign languages - English, German or French - at school or lyceum / college (this is indicated in the appendix to his certificate or diploma), he cannot choose another language studied independently (for example, Korean) as a foreign language . Regardless of how many languages the applicant knows, he passes the TEST only in that foreign language (one of English, German and French), which is indicated in the appendix to the certificate or diploma received at the educational institution.
