The joint educational program based on two universities provides training of students from Uzbekistan in the specialty "International law". In the first two years students study at Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno, then they master the third year program at home,

“The development of joint educational programs is a strategic direction in the international activities of Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno. In 2016 we implemented the first joint educational program with the partner from China – Chongqing University of Technology, specializing in «Information Technology Software». At the moment, we have 14 joint educational programs with various partners, including universities in France, the USA, Kazakhstan, and Sri Lanka. And today we have started a new joint educational program with Tashkent State University of Law. This is the first joint educational program with the higher educational institutions of the Republic of Uzbekistan,” said Iryna Kiturka, Rector of Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno.
As Iryna Kiturka said during an online meeting with the first year students from Uzbekistan and the administration of Tashkent State University of Law, the specialty "International law" is much in demand among applicants. Every year a large number of them apply right to this specialty.
