The Academic Lyceum of Westminster International University in Tashkent (ALWIUT; Uzbek: Toshkent xalqaro Vestminster universiteti akademik litseyi) is a public academic lyceum affiliated with Westminster International University in Tashkent in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Established in 2008, the lyceum offers a two-year pre-university curriculum focused primarily on advanced mathematics and English.

In the 2021 national ranking of academic lyceums published by the State Inspectorate for Supervision of Quality in Education [uz], ALWIUT was ranked second among academic lyceums across Uzbekistan.[1][2][3]

History

[edit]

ALWIUT was established on 9 December 2008 by Decree No. 270 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan.[4] Its first cohort of students graduated on 21 June 2012.[5]

Academics

[edit]

ALWIUT operates on a semester system for its academic term, unlike the traditional four-quarter system used by most public schools in Uzbekistan. Students must complete four semesters over two years to graduate.[6]

Admission

[edit]

Admission to ALWIUT is highly competitive, as it ranks among the most selective academic lyceums in Uzbekistan.[1] In 2021, the lyceum received over 3,500 applications for admission, of which 182 were admitted for a 5.2% acceptance rate.[6]

The selection process consists of two stages. The first stage is an entrance examination administered by WIUT, which tests applicants' knowledge in advanced mathematics and English. Around 300 top-performing candidates are invited to the second stage, which is conducted by the Knowledge and Qualifications Assessment Agency. This phase includes assessments in IQ, mathematics, and English grammar.[6]
