8. THE UNIVERSITY I STUDY AT 
 
Exercise 1. Prepare a PPT presentation about TUIT and its branches. You can use 
either the given material or use additional sources. 
 
Education is an important part of the life. People go to schools and universities, attend 
different courses and workshops. Many people think that the most eventful and interesting period 
of life is studying at school and at university. 
TUIT (formerly Tashkent Electro technical Institute of Communications) was established 
in 1955. In 2002, in order to further develop the information and communication technologies, 
the Institute was re-established into the ―University‖. 
Nukus, Urgench, Karshi, Samarkand and Fergana branches of the TUIT have been launched 
since July 23, 2005 as regional branches. In 2018, with the purpose of radically improving and 
enhancing the efficiency of training system at TUIT, a credit education system for training 
personnel in the field of information and communication technologies was introduced. Currently, 
TUIT and its regional branches have 13 faculties, 62 departments and education and training are 
being held in 23 areas and specialties of education, including 9 new areas of undergraduate and 
17 new specialties of masters. TUIT employs 605 teachers and professors, including 3 
academicians, 35 doctors and professors, 149 candidates of sciences and associate professors. 
Teachers with doctoral degree make up 32.8% of total. The university established cooperation 
with 42 universities, 8 research centers, 12 enterprises and organizations from 26 foreign 
countries (South Korea, Japan, Germany, France, the USA, India, etc.) and 73 cooperation 
agreements and a memorandum of understanding were signed on mutual understanding. Every 
year 15 foreign professors are involved in educational process of TUIT and 50 professors and

teachers of the university visit abroad to exchange experience. And also, there is a student 
mobility program, every year 30 students of TUIT travel abroad according to exchange 
programs. JICA is funding TUIT‘s project in the amount of 1.6 million US dollars to create 
―Educational Media-Center‖ in Central Asia which will be designed to set up laboratory to 
conduct research and prctice for students in the field of television technologies.
At the moment, TUIT is implementing 12 research projects funded by the European 
Commission under the ERASMUS program. TUIT and Belarusian State University of 
Informatics and Radio Electronics signed an agreement on establishment of a joint faculty and 
joint training of specialists with higher education. In accordance with this agreement, starting 
from the 2019-2020 academic year, students enrolled at TUIT to the joint faculty of TUIT-
BSUIR for training in the following areas: Information Technology Software; Programmable 
mobile systems; Artificial Intelligence. According to the results of 2018, the State Inspectorate 
for Quality Supervision of Education under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of 
Uzbekistan published a rating of higher educational institutions, in which TUIT takes the 4th 
place among 57 universities of Uzbekistan. Nowadays, the main goal of TUIT, along with other 
educational issues, is to include the University to Top 1000 universities in the world. In order to 
fulfill this goal and to provide International standards of education, TUIT has plan to obtain 
International Accreditation from ABET which ensures quality of education in IT sphere. To 
implement this ambition plan TUIT is cooperating with Kent State University within American 
Councils, UniCEN project. The KSU team will visit to TUIT to provide consultation on the 
requirements of the ‗credit hour system‘ and review TUIT‘s plans and progress in this effort. The 
objectives of the proposed workshops and subsequent discussions are: 
• To provide faculty members at TUIT with a framework for developing learning outcomes for 
students; 
• Assist faculty with incorporating learning outcomes into their courses within the programs 
seeking accreditation; 
• Developing assessment plans for courses and programs; 
• Provide support for incorporating continuous improvement methodologies into TUIT‘s 
curricular development processes; 
• Provide support for navigating the change from contact hours to credit hours including syllabi 
development and lesson plan development; 
• Develop a support system and structure for TUIT faculty as they progress through the 
accreditation process. 
I agree that studying at university is full of events. At university I have found many friends 
and learnt new things. My university is located in a small city Fergana in Uzbekistan. Though 
the city is small, my university is very popular. Many scientists and professors work here. My 
university hasn‘t a long history.
The life of my university is full of different events. As I have already mentioned, many 
scientists work here. Different conferences, seminars and meetings are held every year. Every 
student can take part in them. Besides, my university cooperates with the universities of USA, 
England, Germany, Russia, South Korea and China. So every year professors from these 
universities visit my university, meet students and share experience.
The Fergana branch of the Tashkent University of Information Technologies was 
established by Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PP-91 dated June 2, 
2005. According to the Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated March 
26, 2013, ―On measures to further improve the training system in the field of information and 
communication technologies‖ No. PP -1942, in recent years, a number of activities have been
