TSUULL and the SDGs: A Holistic Commitment
1.    Promoting High-Quality Education and Research Collaboration:
TSUULL integrates sustainability into its academic offerings, including dual-degree MA programs such as Tourism Guidance and Professional Interpreting and Computer Graphics and Media Design. Research endeavors, such as interdisciplinary linguistics studies and publications in journals like Uzbekistan: Language and Culture and Oltin Bitiglar – Golden Scripts, provide new insights into SDG-aligned fields such as digitalization and education equity.
2.    Localizing and Mobilizing Support for the SDGs:
TSUULL is ranked 301-400 globally for Gender Equality (SDG5) and 401-600 for Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions (SDG16) in the THE Impact Rankings. These rankings reflect the university's initiatives, such as gender-based violence prevention projects and programs promoting inclusivity, cultural exchange, and community engagement. Through partnerships with institutions like UNESCO, KOICA, and TIKA, TSUULL fosters a culture of sustainability and development.
3.    Launching and Vetting Solution Initiatives:
Key projects exemplify TSUULL's commitment to sustainability. For instance, the Erasmus+ project Pathways to Empowerment in Gender-Based Violence Prevention (2020-2022) directly aligns with SDG5.
