Russian Philology Faculty
History of the Faculty: The Faculty of Russian Philology was established in 1992 following the merger of the Tashkent Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages and the Republican Institute of Russian Language and Literature, leading to the creation of the Uzbek State University of World Languages (USWLU). Since then, the faculty has been operating within the university.
Since its establishment, the faculty has played a crucial role in training highly qualified specialists for the higher education, secondary vocational, and general education systems, as well as other sectors of society.
The faculty continues the traditions of training specialists in the field of Russian philology, combining years of experience with modern teaching methods and scientific research.
