Tashkent University of Architecture and Civil Engineering

Tashkent University of Architecture and Civil Engineering was formed in 1991 by presidential decree, and was created from the architecture, industrial and civil construction, and construction faculties of the former Tashkent Polytechnic Institute. With its main campus in Tashkent, Uzbekistan’s rapidly growing capital, the university has developed into a specialist institution focused on architecture, construction, engineering and related areas. 

It currently consists of four faculties: architecture, engineering, construction, and management. Its academic provision covers 18 fields of study, with programmes spanning architecture, construction engineering, environmental engineering, construction management, interior design and related disciplines. The university's architecture and construction focus is complemented by programmes in areas such as real estate and management, allowing students to develop both technical and professional skills relevant to the construction sector. 

The university currently has over 8,000 students and more than 700 professors and teaching staff, supported by five academic buildings. Its academic and research infrastructure also includes doctoral education and specialised councils for dissertations in architecture and construction-related disciplines. 

In 2025, the university established the National Research Institute for Seismic Safety and Sustainable Construction, with research activity including seismic safety, sustainable construction and construction technologies. Doctoral research under the institute has examined areas such as the quality and technological processes involved in constructing multi-storey residential buildings.  

The university also maintains strong links with industry in Uzbekistan. In 2026, it signed an agreement with Optimal Architect Group to provide student placements, employment opportunities, and scholarships.
