The UniRank directory has published a list of the best universities in Uzbekistan for the year 2020. We are pleased to announce that the list is topped by the Westminster International University in Tashkent (WIUT)! This is the third year in a row that WIUT has held onto top spot in the rankings.   UniRank is the world’s leading international higher education directory and search engine, featuring reviews and rankings of over 13,600 officially recognized Universities in 200 countries. UniRank rates the universities based on the following requirements:

1. Official registration, license and/or accreditation by national bodies in higher education;
2. Official authorisation to grant undergraduate degrees lasting at least 4 years (Bachelor's Degrees) and/or postgraduate degrees (Master's and Doctoral Degrees);
3. Delivering courses predominantly in a traditional, face-to-face, non-distance education format.

The directory aims to provide a table of the best universities in the world based on reliable, objective, and impartial web indicators provided by independent web analytics sources, rather than on data provided by the universities themselves. The ranking method involves the evaluation of the web popularity of world universities based on the following independent statistical indicators:

• quantity and quality of external links to the official website of the University (Moz Domain Authority);
• website traffic (Alexa Global Rank);
• website traffic and relevance (SimilarWeb Global Rank);
• referring domains indicator (Majestic Referring Domains);
• indicator of confidence to the site (Majestic Trust Flow);

Here are the top five universities in Uzbekistan in 2020 according to UniRank:

1. Westminster International University in Tashkent;
2. Tashkent University of Information Technologies named after Muhammad al-Khwarizmi;
3. Tashkent State Pedagogical University;
4. Tashkent Financial Institute;
