Plan my studies with UGOFor students in Uzbekistan. For the families beside them.

Start with
the essentials.

Your school certificate, subjects and study language shape your next step.

Length of study

Usually 4 years for a bachelor’s degree.

After Grade 11 in Uzbekistan

Direct entry often possible

Each college sets its own rules. Many review a completed school certificate with translated transcripts; check GPA, subject and document requirements.

Tests to plan for

English + SAT/ACT if required

Most colleges ask for TOEFL, IELTS or a similar English test. SAT/ACT policies vary: required, optional or not used.

Can I study in English?

English; check the university’s language requirements.

More about qualifications and tests

Each college sets its own requirements. Expect your school certificate, certified transcripts with English translations and any national exam results.

ASU, for example, asks international first-year applicants for a completed secondary certificate, a 3.00 GPA and set years of maths and laboratory science.

Non-native speakers usually need an English test such as TOEFL or IELTS. SAT/ACT rules differ, and some colleges are test-optional.

Know the costs.
Plan with confidence.

Headline estimates are in USD, before scholarships. Tuition is shown per year; living costs per month.

Tuition / year

$31,900–67,700

Public out-of-state average to Stanford 2026–27

Living / month

$2,090–2,550

On-campus housing and food over a 9-month year

What these figures include

College Board 2025–26 averages, Stanford's 2026–27 budget and ASU's 2026–27 international estimate. Insurance, travel, books and summer housing are extra.

Living figures cover on-campus housing and food over a 9-month academic year. Budget separately for summer, health insurance, travel and personal costs.

Figures are already in USD. Tuition usually rises each year, so ask for the four-year cost before you commit.

Working while studying

Can I work as a student?

Up to 20 hours / week on campus in term

F-1 students may work on campus with their school's approval. Off-campus work is limited: it needs a full academic year first and specific authorisation.

Check the official work rules

Roles to look for

  • Campus dining and library roles
  • Research or teaching assistance
  • Student services and residence jobs

Ask your international student office (DSO) before accepting any job. Off-campus training such as CPT or OPT has separate rules.

Campus work can help with everyday spending, but hours and pay are not guaranteed. Plan tuition and essential living costs without relying on a job.

Scholarships.
What can they cover?

Look for university awards that reduce tuition. Compare what your family would still pay for both study and living expenses.

Partial merit awards

Examples to explore, not guaranteed awards. Admission and scholarship applications can have different deadlines.
