As part of the five-year cooperation agreement signed in 2022 between Chirchik State Pedagogical University and Heidelberg University of Education (Germany), a student academic exchange program has been implemented. According to the agreement, four CSPU students are annually sent to the partner university for a one-month internship. During this time, they gain practical teaching experience in German schools and participate in university classes. In addition, active support is provided to students applying for DAAD’s one-month summer language course (HSK) scholarships. Every October, DAAD representatives visit the university and conduct the OnSET language proficiency test. Students with B1 level German receive assistance in preparing required documents.
