HISTORICAL-PHILOLOGICAL FACULTY
Based on the decision of the Academic Council of the Kyrgyz-Uzbek University, the Uzbek-Pedagogical Faculty was established on September 5, 1998 (Order No. 22 D). In 1999, the Uzbek-Pedagogical Faculty was divided into the Natural-Pedagogical and Humanitarian-Pedagogical Faculties. In 2002, the Humanitarian-Pedagogical Faculty was restructured into the Faculty of History and Philology. In 2010, the Pedagogical Faculty was dissolved, merging with the Faculty of History and Philology to form the updated Humanitarian-Pedagogical Faculty. In 2013, due to a significant decrease in the number of students and the closure of several specializations in the Faculty of World Languages and International Relations, the Humanitarian-Pedagogical Faculty was restructured into the Historical-philological faculty, retaining the Department of English Philology (Order No. 90 dated 03.09.2013).
The establishment and development of the faculty owe much to its first deans, Professors A.S. Khudayberdiev and A.A. Anarbaev. Subsequently, the faculty was headed by Associate Professors R.U. Aliyeva and S.M. Murzakulov, as well as Professor A.K. Kulnazarov. Professor A.T. Baltabaeva played a particularly significant role in the history of the faculty. Moreover, Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences, Associate Professor N.D. Tilekova, contributed greatly to the faculty’s growth during her five years of leadership.
Today, the Faculty of History and Philology is led by Associate Professor Zh.T. Kadenova.
The faculty trains highly qualified professionals in the fields of history and philology, meeting the needs of the education and science sectors in Kyrgyzstan and abroad.
The faculty’s distinctive feature lies in its focus on developing analytical skills, supported by a strong educational foundation. A classical historical education combined with a deep understanding of world cultures and languages such as English, German, Russian, and Kyrgyz opens wide opportunities in the modern labor market. The faculty successfully integrates humanities and social sciences, breaking down interdisciplinary barriers.
The main goal of the faculty’s educational and training activities is to nurture intellectual individuals proficient in world history and culture, foreign languages, and capable of adapting to new social conditions, including changes in market dynamics.
For almost 30 years, the Historical-philological faculty has been one of the university’s leading faculties, achieving success in educational, methodological, scientific-research, cultural, and international activities.
