About the Preparatory Center
The Preparatory Department of Samarkand State University named after Sharof Rashidov was founded in 1971. Following the directives of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the Republic of Uzbekistan, a self-funded, contract-based preparatory course with a testing system was established on the basis of the department in 1993 and continues its operations to this day.
By Rector’s Order No. 229-ij dated October 27, 2005, these courses were reorganized into the Preparatory Center at the University, specializing in preparing students for entrance examinations.
The Preparatory Center admits students in the following fields: Physics, Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Information Technology, Economics, Chemistry, Biology, Ecology, Medicine, Geography, Uzbek Language and Literature, History, Jurisprudence, Social Work, Russian Language and Literature, Pedagogy and Methodology of Primary Education, Pedagogy, Psychology, Preschool Education, and Foreign Languages (English, German, and French).
Education is provided on a contractual basis. The mode of study is full-time, and the duration of the program is 10 months. Listeners (trainees) are entitled to the same rights and obligations as university students, including access to designated classrooms, laboratories, and libraries.
The Preparatory Center admits all individuals regardless of age, including current students and graduates of general secondary schools and academic lyceums.
Applications are accepted from September 2 to September 14. An entrance test-interview is held on September 15. The test-interview covers core subject blocks within the scope of the general education curriculum for all fields of study. Successful candidates are officially enrolled as listeners. Classes commence on September 16.
The Preparatory Center operates under a Pedagogical Council, which regularly reviews academic workloads, teaching quality, student performance metrics, and the latest developments in testing technologies.
The Center offers specialized groups in social sciences, exact sciences, and natural sciences, with instruction provided in both Uzbek and Russian. The academic week consists of 6 days, with 4-6 hours of instruction per day. Every two months, listeners undergo assessments and mock tests, the results of which are analyzed by the Pedagogical Council. During the academic year, 4-5 evaluation tests are conducted in accordance with the standards of the Knowledge and Skills Assessment Agency (BBA). Lessons are structured based on subject syllabi aligned with standardized entrance examination blocks.
The majority of the faculty members at the Center are highly qualified professors and experienced specialists from the university who possess an expert command of general education curricula.
The primary mission of the Preparatory Center is to enhance the general educational level of young people, foster their knowledge and potential, and create the necessary conditions for those seeking higher education – particularly socially vulnerable youth. The Center aims to prepare highly knowledgeable and competitive applicants for all academic disciplines in higher education institutions.
