It is based upon the BA (Honours) Business course delivered in the UK by the Harrow Business School of the University of Westminster, but has been adapted to suit the local context. The BA (Hons) Business Administration aims to give students an education in the key areas of business, providing an understanding of underpinning theories, tools and techniques.

* Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Economics (BSc Economics)

The BSc (Hons) Economics is a three-year full time course. It is based upon the BSc (Hons) Business Economics course delivered in the UK by the Westminster Business School of the University of Westminster, adapted to suit the local context. The BSc (Hons) in Economics is not intended as a purely theoretical study of Economics. The underlying philosophy of the course and its presentation emphasise the application of the relevant theory underpinning the Economics and Business fields.

* Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Business Information Systems (BSc Business Information Systems)

The BSc (Hons) Business Information Systems is a three-year full time course. It is based upon the BSc (Hons) Business Computing course delivered in the UK jointly by the Harrow Business School and the Harrow School of Computer Science of the University of Westminster. The BSc (Hons) Business Information Systems aims to develop students with skills in the areas of systems analysis and database development as well as finance and marketing with an awareness of a wide range of managerial and organisational issues.

* Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Commercial Law (BA Commercial Law)

The BA (Hons)Commercial Law is a three-year full time course. The BA Commercial Law, programme consists of subject areas found on an English law degree such as that taught at the University of Westminster in London. However, at WIUT the focus in many modules is primarily Uzbek law with some English (or other legal jurisdiction) content to enable a comparison between two different legal systems. The course balances the need to provide a basic understanding of Uzbek law, with a commercial and international focus, within a broadly liberal legal curriculum. The course has been designed by the Law School of the University of Westminster; it is currently undergoing further refinements and will be focused on International and Business Law.

The courses are validated by the University of Westminster (UK), which awards the qualification. The Certificate in Foundation Studies is accepted as an entry qualification for UK degrees. Successful completion will enable the student to progress to a UK degree course. The Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science are standard UK three year programmes.
