          History of the department: UzSWLU is one of the important educational institutions for training Chinese language specialists in Uzbekistan.

            Since 1990, the Chinese language has been taught at the Uzbekistan State  World Languages University. First, a group specializing in Chinese language was opened at UzSWLU at the Faculty of Russian Language. Later, since 1991, students of "Theory and Practice of Translation" and "English Philology" faculties have been taught Chinese as a second language. To date, about 300 university students are studying Chinese as a second language.

            Due to the establishment of diplomatic relations between Uzbekistan and the Republic of China, the need for Chinese language specialists has increased significantly. With the decision of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PQ-868 in May 2008, the Department of Chinese Philology was opened from April 1, 2010 to train students in the Chinese language as the main course.
