A digital photograph is taken at the visa application centre, so most applicants do not upload one. Universities sometimes ask for a photo with the application itself.

Any one of these is enough

Accepted by many but not all UK universities; confirm before you book it.

Year-one entry follows 13 years of school in the UK system. UCAS advises international applicants to have their qualification compared by UK ENIC; an 11-year attestat comes out below A-level.

An indicative attestat average for a competitive offer after a foundation year. Providers publish their own grades.

The Student visa is for applicants aged 16 or over. At 16 or 17 you also have to show written consent from your parents.

You cannot apply for the visa until the university has offered you a place and issued a CAS.

Degree-level courses need B2 in reading, writing, speaking and listening. Universities may run their own assessment at the same level instead of a SELT.

Uzbekistan is on the Home Office's TB test list, so anyone who has lived there for six months or more and applies to stay in the UK longer than six months needs a certificate from a Home Office approved clinic. The same page links the list of clinics in Uzbekistan.

UCAS: a firm acceptance is your first choice, an insurance acceptance is the back-up to a conditional firm acceptance, and UCAS shows you the deadline to reply by.

GOV.UK lets a student arrive before the course starts: up to 1 month before for a course of more than 6 months, up to 1 week before for a shorter one. The same page says never to travel before the start date given on the visa, whatever the date the course starts.

Universities with no experience of Uzbek qualifications may ask for this rather than assess it themselves.
