STARS International University in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, in collaboration with Oxford Brookes University and NCC Education, is proud to announce an exciting new opportunity for students. The NCC Education Level 3 International Foundation Diploma for Higher Education Studies (L3IFDHES), currently offered at STARS International University, now provides a direct and prestigious pathway to undergraduate programmes at Oxford Brookes University in the United Kingdom.
Oxford Brookes University stands out as one of the UK’s leading modern universities, celebrated for its innovative teaching methods, strong focus on employability, and its dynamic global reputation. This partnership signals an extraordinary step forward for students in Uzbekistan and across Central Asia, offering them unparalleled access to world-class education right from their home country.
Since its establishment in 2021, STARS International University has rapidly become a hub for educational excellence and growth, positioning itself as one of Central Asia’s fastest-growing academic institutions. As an accredited partner of NCC Education, the university continues to uphold its commitment to high academic standards by offering the L3IFDHES, an essential pre-university bridging qualification, allowing students in Uzbekistan to prepare for studies abroad.
Through this newly forged collaboration, students who successfully complete the NCC Education Level 3 International Foundation Diploma with a minimum overall score of 60% or higher (equivalent to a ‘Merit’ grade) and meet the required English language proficiency will be eligible to apply for undergraduate courses at Oxford Brookes University.
Rebecca Bewley, Head of Partnerships at NCC Education, commented: “Through this collaboration, STARS International University reinforces its commitment to building a bright future for its students. Oxford Brookes University, along with its dedicated community of students and lecturers, is focused on creating opportunities that lead to prosperity and success for all.”
The Founder and Rector of STARS International University, Bahram Gurbanov expressed his vision for this partnership, saying: “By consistently raising our academic standards and creating unrivalled opportunities, we are paving the way for students from Uzbekistan and beyond to excel on the world stage. Through our partnership with Oxford Brookes University and NCC Education, our students are now better positioned to gain admission to one of the UK’s most respected universities. This agreement not only enhances our global presence but also reinforces our mission to produce leaders who will bring honour to Uzbekistan on the international stage.”
