GPA and Credit Load Requirements in Higher Education (Uzbekistan)
In accordance with the credit-module system implemented in Uzbekistan’s higher education institutions, the GPA (Grade Point Average) is used to evaluate a student’s academic performance. It is calculated using the weighted average of grades earned across all subjects, with each subject’s credit value taken into account.
Credit Requirements:
- Bachelor’s Degree:
- Students are required to earn 30 credits per semester, totaling 60 credits per academic year.
- Over the full study period:
- 3-year programs require 180 credits
- 4-year programs require 240 credits
- Master’s Degree:
- Students must earn 60 credits per semester, totaling 120 credits per academic year.
- This applies to 2-year Master’s programs.
These credit requirements align with the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System ECTS, supporting academic transparency, mobility, and international comparability.
