What documents and grades do you need to enter a university in Uzbekistan?

Uzbek bachelor admission runs on entrance examinations set by the State Test Centre, with online registration at my.uzbmb.uz where you choose your region. The examinations are normally held across July and August, and scores are announced the day after the test. The core document is the 11-year attestat or a college or lyceum diploma. Holders of the national certificate may be exempt from individual subject tests — the State Test Centre publishes the current rules.

Master’s

An Uzbek master takes a completed bachelor degree, with admission decided by a subject examination the university itself sets. The documents are the diploma and its supplement, a passport, a medical certificate and, at many universities, a CV and list of publications. Foreign applicants submit a notarised translation of the diploma and go through recognition. Each university publishes its own deadlines and examination subjects.
