The University of World Economy and Diplomacy (UWED) continues to consistently expand its international academic cooperation and create new opportunities for its students. As part of its internationalization policy, during the spring semester of the 2025–2026 academic year, UWED students who successfully passed the competitive selection process are participating in international academic mobility programs for one semester. At present, UWED students are studying at partner universities abroad, representing both Uzbekistan and UWED. Host institutions include leading universities such as the University of Missouri in the United States, the University of Bologna in Italy, Waseda University, Saitama University, Hitotsubashi University, and Nagoya University in Japan, the Higher School of Economics and Saint Petersburg State University in Russia, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University and Ibn Haldun University in Türkiye, as well as ADA University in Azerbaijan and Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in the Republic of Korea. Participation in academic mobility programs provides students not only with the opportunity to continue their studies abroad, but also to gain valuable international experience. Students are exposed to new educational approaches, engage in research activities, develop academic and professional skills, and immerse themselves in the cultural environments of host countries. Such experiences contribute to the development of global thinking and strengthen intercultural understanding. We are confident that participation in academic mobility programs will become an important milestone in the academic and personal development of UWED students. The knowledge and skills they acquire will serve as a strong foundation for their future careers and continued involvement in international projects. We wish our students every success in their studies, inspiring experiences, and a productive stay at partner universities.
