On July 7, the CAEx International Exhibition Center hosted the CAU Graduation Ceremony 2026 - one of the largest graduation ceremonies of the year, bringing together several hundred graduates of Central Asian University, their families, faculty members, university partners, and distinguished guests. For these young professionals, the day marked the beginning of a new chapter filled with opportunities, professional achievements, and ambitious goals.
This year, diplomas were awarded to graduates of the Medical School, Dental School, Business School, Engineering School, School of Architecture and Design, and the School of Hospitality Management and Tourism. They are now preparing to join the ranks of doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, architects, and other professionals who will drive innovation, strengthen the economy, and help shape the future of the country.
Throughout their years at Central Asian University, the graduates completed a remarkable journey - from their first lectures and examinations to the successful defense of their final diplomas. Along the way, they experienced demanding academic sessions, research projects, competitions, internships, student events, memorable victories, and life-changing discoveries that will remain part of their personal stories forever. Here, they found mentors, built lasting friendships, learned the value of teamwork, and took their first confident steps toward their professional careers. For many, Central Asian University became the place where they spent some of the brightest and most unforgettable years of their lives. Today, with gratitude for the past, they stand at the threshold of a new journey - one filled with great opportunities, professional accomplishments, and future wins.
The graduates were congratulated by Jahongir Artikkhodjaev, Founder of Central Asian University. He praised the graduates for successfully completing their studies and emphasized the importance of lifelong learning, leadership, and striving for excellence. They encouraged every graduate to build a successful career with confidence, pursue bold ideas, and remember that a promising future lies ahead.
Rector of Central Asian University, Kamran Gulamov, addressed the graduates with a farewell speech:
"Dear graduates! Today you are receiving the rewards of your hard work and pursuit of knowledge. New opportunities await you. Dream boldly, don't be afraid of responsibility, stay true to your principles, and never stop growing. I wish you a long journey, may your knowledge be useful, may gratitude fill your hearts, dreams fill your eyes, and may you always have the support of your parents and mentors. Good luck!"
The ceremony followed traditions that have become an integral part of the academic culture of leading universities around the world. The program featured the ceremonial procession of graduates, the National Anthem of the Republic of Uzbekistan, a ribbon launch, addresses from the university leadership, the presentation of diplomas, and the Hippocratic Oath, taken by graduates of the Medical School.
The highlight of the celebration was the traditional tossing of academic caps - one of the most emotional and iconic moments of any graduation ceremony, symbolizing the end of student life and the beginning of a new professional journey.
CAU Graduation Ceremony 2026 has become one of the university's most significant events of the year. It will remain in graduates' memories as the moment when one important chapter of their lives came to an end and another began - one filled with ambitious dreams, meaningful challenges, and limitless opportunities.
