Career
The best ITPU students will be able to complete internships at EPAM offices around the world.
As with traditional forms of education, an online bachelor's degree program requires a full commitment of 40 to 50 hours per week. This includes online classes and independent study of the material. Considering that combining this with a full-time job could be detrimental to successful studies, it is worthwhile to weigh and realistically evaluate your strengths and abilities. Under the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, students are allowed to work during their free time only.
The international company EPAM Systems and partner companies offer internships with further employment for their students. We also have an internal career center that provides additional assistance to our students in finding employment.
Education
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.
