Our History
From a bold idea to a thriving institution — the story of how Tashkent International University came to be.
We didn't come this far by holding back
Since 2023 we've been passing on our knowledge to generations of learners. People who've left their mark on their fields, their profession and the world. How have we thrived for so long? Because it's in our blood. Yes, we deserve to look back on all we've achieved. But it's always with a view of forging ahead with renewed energy, purpose and determination.
It takes one person to change countless lives
Tashkent International University was founded in 2023 — born from a bold vision to bring world-class, English-medium education to Central Asia.
From the very beginning, TIU opened its doors with four departments, an international faculty, and a promise: that education here would lead somewhere far beyond the classroom walls.
Our mission — connecting students to the world through the 2+2 dual degree pathway — honours the ambition of our founding vision. And we're still driven by an unwavering desire for progress.
Here's where it all began...
Where do we start? In the future.
From its founding to today's generation of changemakers, TIU has a rich and evolving story. Here are just some of our key milestones — from landmark research breakthroughs and campus expansions to moments of social and cultural impact — that have defined TIU's place in history over the last century.
TIU is officially founded in Tashkent. Four departments open simultaneously with 100% English-medium instruction and an international faculty team.
International partnerships expand across South Korea, Malaysia, Latvia, and beyond. The first exchange students arrive. The 2+2 dual degree pathway becomes reality.

The best chapters of TIU's story are still being written — and you could be part of them. More programs, deeper research, new partnerships, and a campus that keeps evolving.
An exceptional education for the many
Our founding charter says our mission is to:
"...advance education, scholarship, knowledge and understanding by teaching and research, for the benefit of individuals and society at large."
We believe that your background should never limit your future. At TIU, it's what you know — not who you know — that matters. Here, everyone is empowered to succeed in their own way.
Our work here is never done
Since day one, we've been working hard to make education more accessible, more international, and more impactful. But we're just getting started.
We believe in a future where every student in Central Asia has access to world-class education. Where borders don't limit ambition. Where innovation in teaching transforms lives — not just careers.
It won't be easy. And there will be new challenges to overcome along the way. But that's never stopped us before. Because we know that every step — and misstep — will take us closer towards the university we want to be.
