In their free time, students take part in cultural and social activities. One of the key priorities of the department is to cultivate high moral values, foster interest in professional development, promote a healthy lifestyle, and encourage students to participate in the university’s cultural events. Students visit historical monuments and landmarks of Samarkand, as well as theaters and museums.
Great attention is given to physical education and sports. Students attend sports clubs in swimming, tennis, chess, football, basketball, volleyball, national wrestling, martial arts, and track and field, all of which are organized at the university’s sports complex. They also actively participate in regional and national sports competitions.
Spiritual and educational activities are carried out in accordance with an approved plan, which includes events dedicated to historical dates, national holidays, sports competitions, and more. Meetings are also held in cooperation with law enforcement agencies, spiritual centers, and other partner organizations. The head of the department and the lecturer responsible for spiritual and educational work regularly meet with students. Every Thursday, classes begin with an information session.
Professors and lecturers of the department work with students in the following ways:
They introduce students to the works and speeches of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, decrees and resolutions of the Oliy Majlis (Parliament) and the Cabinet of Ministers, and carry out spiritual and educational work aimed at nurturing a well-rounded generation, while strengthening universal, national, and moral values among the youth.
Every Friday, according to the plan, spiritual hours are held. In addition, every morning, students take part in a 5-minute discussion on current news and spiritual-educational topics. Various sports activities are also organized to promote a healthy lifestyle.
To enhance students’ political and legal awareness, they are introduced to the works and speeches of the President, Cabinet of Ministers’ decrees, materials of parliamentary sessions, and the meaning and essence of adopted laws.
Discussions are held on social, political, and cultural events taking place in the country and the world to keep students well-informed.
To foster a positive spiritual environment, students attend theater performances, cinema screenings, and concerts, helping them spend their free time meaningfully.
To further align students’ free time with their academic field and specialization, the department organizes scientific and practical sessions.
