Education in Tajikistan, both long and short-term provides unique chance to self-development and opportunity to get a good impetus to move forward. It is great place to learn the rich culture, discover new places. Tajikistan is a country of the highest peaks, powerful glaciers, and rapid turbulent rivers, inimitable in its beauty lakes, unique flora and rare animals.

Education in Tajik high schools and universities conducted in both Tajik (Farsi) and Russian languages. In some cases, there is a practice of teaching individual courses in English.

Universities in Tajikistan, as well as language high schools are providing not only good level high education, but give foreign students invaluable experience of living in different cultural environment. This is fundamentally unique experience from other countries. Tajiks  hospitality is legendary. Tajikistan has an extraordinarily rich cultural legacy of poetry and music. As example, just about every Tajik can recite some lines by poets such as Rudaki or Rumi, among others. That might be an indication of high level of language teaching and the education system as well.

Education in Tajikistan today - is opening wide prospects and gaining invaluable expertise of language, culture and traditions.

Foreign nationals wishing to apply to Tajik high education should have advance level of Tajik/Russian language. Foreign students, who do not speak Tajik/Russian language, can take preparation courses in language schools.
