It is a great honor for me to see the "first swallows" of our university, as well as highly qualified and experienced professors both from our country and those invited from the Turkish side.

 

I am sure that students who choose our University will become part of the entrepreneurial environment and get original and universal knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship. The university will educate individuals and international business experience. TOBB ETÜ is widely known and very popular in Turkey. It was ranked 32nd in 2018 among the best universities in the world founded since 2000 in the ranking of Young Universities 2018: Universities of the Millennium!

 

 

The TOBB ETÜ has adopted as a basis in its curriculum and education system elements of dual education, aimed at "co-education" with industry, where theoretical knowledge and practice are presented in balance. The "Cooperative Education" program was introduced. The aim of the program is to provide work experience to students in companies in Turkey or abroad prior to earning a bachelor's degree. TOBB ETÜ has a special place in the Turkish higher education system. TOBB ETÜ Tashkent branch will try in its first year of foundation and in the future to give its students professional and practical knowledge. Due to it our students can create a successful future with their own hands.

 

We will also work hard to create an effective vocational training system, increase student exchange programs. In turn, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry with all regional divisions will always serve as a platform for training, professional development and entrepreneurship development. I am confident that the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry will also take part and contribute to the education of TOBB ETÜ Tashkent students, which will become one of the distinctive features of our branch. I believe that we will be the leaders in creating an entrepreneurial corpus.

 

Once again, I sincerely congratulate everyone on the beginning of our first academic year and I wish each of you to know every day that you have taken the right step by choosing the branch of the University of Economics and Technology of the Union of Chambers of Commerce and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey in Tashkent! I wish you a great start to the academic year and success in your studies.
