The University of World Economy and Diplomacy

The University of World Economy and Diplomacy (UWED) is one of Uzbekistan’s leading specialised universities in international relations, international economics, international law, diplomacy, and public-sector leadership. Operating under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan, UWED plays a distinctive national role in preparing highly qualified professionals for diplomacy, government, international cooperation, and the global economy.

UWED offers a focused and practice-oriented academic environment through its schools of International Relations, International Economics and Management, and International Law. Its academic model combines rigorous disciplinary training with applied learning, analytical thinking, language preparation, and professional engagement, enabling students to build the knowledge and skills required for careers in both national and international arenas.

The University combines education, research, and policy engagement. In addition to its undergraduate and graduate teaching mission, UWED supports executive and lifelong learning, advances fundamental and applied research, and contributes to evidence-informed dialogue on international affairs, economic development, law, and diplomacy. Its broader academic ecosystem, including specialised institutes and professional training platforms, strengthens its role as a centre for intellectual and professional development.

Internationalisation is central to UWED’s development. Through academic partnerships with universities abroad, participation in international projects, and engagement with global academic and professional communities, UWED seeks to connect Uzbekistan more closely with international knowledge networks and contemporary educational practice. This global outlook is reflected in both curriculum design and institutional cooperation.

UWED’s mission is to educate professionals with strong academic preparation, practical competence, ethical responsibility, and a global perspective. The University aims not only to prepare graduates for successful professional careers, but also to contribute to Uzbekistan’s long-term development through high-quality education, research, and international collaboration.
