Marketing Services Department

The Marketing Services Department works under the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Law “On Education”, the resolutions and decrees of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan on supplying the sectors of the economy with qualified personnel, the Labour Code and the other regulations governing education.

The department was set up as the “Marketing Service” on 25 March 1998 by the rector's order No. 38, issued under Order No. 12 of 3 February 1998 of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialised Education, which implemented Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 48 of 28 January 1998 “On measures to accelerate the formation of a market for educational services and of marketing in personnel training”. It has worked ever since.
