About the International Relations Department:
The International Relations Department is a structural unit of the institute that coordinates and manages cooperation with foreign higher education institutions, research centers and professional development institutes. The department studies the latest educational and scientific experience and implements it into the educational process, and organizes activities related to students and faculty members gaining experience in leading educational institutions around the world. Ultimately, this contributes to improving the quality of education.

At the same time, the department was established to develop international cooperation, improve the training of specialists, and effectively use global experience in educational, methodological and scientific research activities. The department is also aimed at promoting international exchange in the field of arts and culture and creating opportunities for institute students to participate in prestigious international competitions and festivals.

It should be noted that institute students actively participate in international competitions held abroad and return with prestigious awards. This contributes to promoting Uzbek art and culture on the global stage. In addition, films created by students are presented at international film festivals and receive high-level awards.
