About the University

Tashkent State University of Law (TSUL) is the leading higher education and scientific-methodological institution in Uzbekistan for training legal professionals.

The history of the university is closely linked with the development of the national school of law in our country, as well as with the names of prominent legal scholars who made significant contributions to the formation of national legal science: Khadicha Suleymanova, Khojiakbar Rakhmonkulov, Boris Blinder, Georgiy Sarkisyans, Anvar Agzamkhodjaev, Shavkat Urazayev, Shoakbar Shoakhmedov, Gafur Abdumajidov, Ikrom Zakirov, and many others.

On August 15, 1991, according to the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers, Tashkent State University was transformed into Tashkent State Institute of Law.

On June 28, 2013, in accordance with the decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PQ–1990, the Tashkent State Institute of Law was transformed into Tashkent State University of Law (TSUL).

Since its establishment as an independent educational and research institution, the university has preserved longstanding traditions while actively implementing new pedagogical technologies in the educational process. The university conducts fundamental and applied research on current issues of legislation and its application, and carries out a wide range of educational and outreach activities aimed at enhancing legal awareness and legal culture in society.

TSUL trains specialists at the levels of bachelor's, master's, doctoral, and independent research programs.

According to the decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PF–5987 of April 29, 2020, “On Additional Measures for the Radical Improvement of Legal Education and Science in the Republic of Uzbekistan,” the organizational structure of TSUL was revised, and new faculties and structural units were established.

Currently, the university has six faculties:

  1. Faculty of Public Law

  2. Faculty of Criminal Justice

  3. Faculty of Private Law

  4. Faculty of International Law and Comparative Jurisprudence

  5. Faculty of Master's and Distance Learning

  6. Faculty of Joint Educational Programs

Within these faculties, new departments and centers have been created, including: the Department of Constitutional Law, the Department of Administrative and Financial Law, the Department of Courts, Law Enforcement Agencies and Advocacy, the Department of Forensics and Judicial Expertise, the Center for Japanese Law Studies, and the Center for German Law and Comparative Legal Studies.

The university currently has 21 departments. As of September 2025, the university's research potential stands at 53.9%. Over the next three years, measures are being implemented to increase the research potential to at least 70% through support of scientific research.

As of today, TSUL employs 482 academic staff (internal and external), of whom 260 hold academic degrees: 94 Doctors of Science (DSc), 166 Candidates of Science and PhDs, 78 professors, and 88 associate professors.

The educational process at the university is organized according to the credit-module system, which is new for the country.

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) has been introduced, allowing students to choose courses independently.

Since the 2020/2021 academic year, admission to distance learning programs in bachelor's and master's studies has been conducted.

Joint educational programs providing a double degree are also being implemented at the university.

Currently, TSUL has 9,826 undergraduate students and 443 graduate students. Classes are conducted in Uzbek, Russian, and English.

Within joint educational programs, agreements have been reached for training bachelor students in International Private Law with Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno (Belarus) and in International Economic Law with KAZGUU University named after M.S. Narikbayev (Kazakhstan). Negotiations are also ongoing for joint programs with Beyazid Yildirim University (Ankara, Turkey) and Warsaw University (Poland).

To ensure transparency and convenience for students and faculty, the E-University platform has been launched, digitizing the educational process: class scheduling, exams, grading, student ranking, and electronic document management. This platform allows students, their parents, and the general public to monitor and participate in all processes, ensuring openness and transparency.

Combating corruption is one of the university's top priorities. In this regard, an Anti-Corruption Plan has been adopted, an Anti-Corruption Commission established, and a Code of Ethics developed.
