The delegation organized multiple recruitment presentations and conducted interviews for students applying to the master’s programs in Horticulture, Animal Science, and Agricultural Management. According to the plan, admissions for the Tashkent Campus are open to students from Uzbekistan and other Central Asian countries. A total of 45 students registered for this round of interviews. The second round of interviews will take place in early October, with the final admission list to be confirmed by mid-October.

Our university’s Tashkent Campus is the first university branch established by China in Uzbekistan and represents an important initiative to implement the consensus reached by the heads of state of China and Uzbekistan, as well as to build a high-level China–Uzbekistan cooperative education brand. Since its inauguration in July this year, the leadership of both universities has attached great importance to the campus, making plans for the quality and scale of student recruitment and providing clear requirements and guidance. Led by our Office of International Cooperation and Exchange, the Graduate School, the College of International Education, and relevant faculties have jointly focused on the development of the branch campus, organizing multiple special meetings for discussion. At the same time, they have actively coordinated with the International Relations Department and related departments of Tashkent State Agrarian University to plan the details of the admission process.
