UWED and American University Launch 1+1 Dual Degree Program in International Studies

On 27 August 2026, the University of World Economy and Diplomacy (UWED) and American University (AU), Washington, D.C., held an online signing ceremony for a new 1+1 Dual Degree Program in International Studies/International Relations, marking another important milestone in the development of academic cooperation between the two universities. The ceremony was attended by Sodiq Safoev, Rector of the University of World Economy and Diplomacy, and David Marchick, President of American University, as well as representatives of both universities.

The two institutions are also currently working on developing cooperation in the field of Law, with the intention of formalizing this direction in the near future. During the ceremony, the parties emphasized that cooperation between UWED and American University is expected to extend beyond dual degree programs. Priority areas for further collaboration include faculty and academic exchanges, student mobility, joint research, professional training and capacity-building programs, executive education, as well as expanded cooperation at the undergraduate level.
