According to Presidential Decree No. PF-401 of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated May 12, 1992, the Tashkent State Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages and the Republican Institute of Russian Language and Literature were merged to form Uzbekistan State World Languages University.

Today, the University enrolls more than 23,168 students studying nearly 20 foreign languages in accordance with international educational standards. Every year, the University prepares specialists through 27 Bachelor's degree programmes and 19 Master's degree programmes.

Students acquire profound knowledge and practical skills in language learning, foreign language teaching, translation, and interpretation. In today's rapidly changing world, the education system is constantly evolving. One of the fundamental principles of the educational process is the close relationship between language and culture.

Future teachers study modern foreign language teaching methodologies at the First, Second, and Third English Language Faculties, as well as at the Faculties of Romano-Germanic Philology, Russian Philology, English Philology, and Oriental Philology. Students of the Faculty of Translation Studies receive professional training in translation and interpretation in English, German, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.
