What Inha University in Tashkent does

Inha University in Tashkent (IUT) is a private, English-medium research university established in 2014 in cooperation with Inha University in the Republic of Korea. The institution operates a single campus at 9 Ziyolilar str., M. Ulugbek district, Tashkent, and serves approximately 2,000 students with a faculty and staff headcount of 51-100. All instruction is delivered in English, and curricula are aligned with Inha University Korea's standards.

IUT generates revenue primarily through annual tuition fees across three undergraduate tracks — Korean Program (SOCIE: Computer Science & Software Engineering; ICE: Information & Communication Engineering; and SBL: Business Administration and Logistics), plus UK and Italy partnership tracks — and graduate programs including an MBA in Digital Transformation (launched 2021) and an Executive MBA. Domestic tuition for 2025/2026 is 40,400,000 UZS for SOCIE and 42,300,000 UZS for SBL; international tuition is $5,000 and $5,250 respectively, with payments processed via Click.uz and Payme.uz. A government grant pathway with the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation funds full four-year tuition for approximately 100 Korean Program students. Adjacent revenue streams include the Pre-University Program, Continuing Education Center (Corporate English, IELTS prep, children's math/English), and the Cybersecurity Center offering EC-Council and CompTIA certifications.

The university's go-to-market is sales-led through three annual entrance examinations (April, June, August), separate domestic and international online application portals, and a multi-channel social presence (Instagram, Telegram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn). Customer segments are primarily Uzbek undergraduate students seeking English-medium IT/business education, plus international applicants, MBA/EMBA professionals, and continuing education learners. Distribution is reinforced by a partnership ecosystem of 15+ international employers (Huawei, EPAM, KPMG, TBC Bank, IT Park, Yandex, Uztelecom, Coca-Cola, etc.) that support internship and graduate placement, and documented alumni outcomes at Google, Amazon, Uber, Bloomberg, Ernst & Young, eBay, and Plug and Play anchor the institution's brand positioning.
