Alfraganus University

Alfraganus University is a very young institution – it was established in 2022 in the heart of Tashkent, Uzbekistan’s capital and the largest city in central Asia. It is named in honour of the 9th-century astronomer Ahmad Al-Fergani, who was born in what is now Uzbekistan.

The university has more than 22,000 students, including international ones from more than 20 countries, who are taught by almost 1,000 professors and teachers. It offers some scholarships and grants to students, including ones for outstanding academic performance. 

The university is organised around eight faculties: economics, philology, pedagogy, social sciences, digital technologies, medicine, physical education and sports, and tourism. The university offers master’s degree programmes in 10 areas.

The Faculty of Medicine offers a comprehensive MBBS programme aligned with international medical education standards. It is delivered in English, making it popular with international students, especially those from India and other south Asian countries. For Indian students, additional benefits include coaching support for India’s Foreign Medical Graduate Examination. The university has a state-of-the-art hospital.

Alfraganus has established partnerships with institutions in some 20 countries to support research exchanges, scholarships and student mobility. Among the partner countries are the US, Turkey, Japan, China and South Korea. Alfraganus operates some joint programmes with Turkish universities.
