Webster University in Tashkent

Webster University in Tashkent opened in 2019 as a campus of Webster University, a private American institution based in St. Louis, Missouri. It teaches in English and awards Webster degrees. For a Kazakh applicant its position is unusual and worth weighing carefully. Tashkent is closer to Kazakhstan than anywhere else examined except Bishkek, reachable by road, rail or a short flight from Almaty or Shymkent. Russian is widely spoken and Uzbek is a Turkic language closely related to Kazakh, so a Kazakh student integrates into daily life far more easily than in any non-regional destination. The caution is the campus's youth. Opened in 2019, it has a short record, and an applicant should establish which programmes are actually running, how many students are enrolled, and whether cohorts have graduated, rather than assuming the full Webster catalogue is available.
