Education
Is it possible to transfer from another university to ITPU?
Is it possible to transfer from another university to ITPU?
Yes, it is possible. Please contact us at info@itpu.uz to apply. To submit your application, you will need to attach the following documents: Academic certificate with a listing of subjects studied, grades, and workload for each subject (in credits or hours). The grade scale at your current university, if it is not included in your transcript. Study programs (syllabus) for mathematics and programming-related subjects. Please note that only applications that include all of these documents will be considered.

Application periods are as follows:
— January: to start studying in the second semester of the first year.
— July-August: to start studying in the third semester of the second year.

The decision regarding transfer is made by the ITPU Certification Committee. The key factor in their decision is the degree of similarity between the curriculum of ITPU and your current university’s curriculum. At least half of the courses must be transferrable, or have similar content and workload. For the summer transfer, one other factor to consider is the presence of a successful IT project on the applicant’s academic record. If your academic record does not meet these requirements, then you will need to enroll in ITPU.

In this instance, the grades from your academic record may be transferred after admission by the decision of the assessment committee. You will only study courses that are new to you, and you will only pay for those courses.
