Samarkand State University (in Uzbek:Samarqand davlatuniversiteti) is the oldest university in Uzbekistan and Central Asia, and the second largest universityin Uzbekistan. The Campus and numerous buildings of the university are located in the central part of Samarkand, on the University Boulevard and around it.
History[edit]
The history of Samarkand State University began on September 21, 1420, from the moment the madrasah of MirzoUlugbek was founded. The great scientist Muhammad Khavofihad made a scientific report on the theory of Claudius Ptolemy in front of a learned audience of over a 100 on that day. Since that day, the madrasah of MirzoUlugbek began to function, where, along with the canons of Islam, students were taught such fundamental sciences as mathematics, algebra (al-zhabr), geometry (handasa), law (fiqh) and some other subjects.
Written sources and scientific research confirm that Samarkand State University is a direct descendant of the madrasah of MirzoUlugbek. In light of this, in 2020 Samarkand State University celebrates its 600th anniversary.
Since 1920, based on the decision of the Turkestan Area administration, the teachers of the MirzoUlugbekMadrasah(mudarris)were involved in short-term training-coursesfor pedagogical personnel.The graduates of these courses were later enrolled in ‘enlightenment’ institutes. On January 22, 1927, this Madrasah was converted intoHigher Pedagogical Institute in Samarkand, which was then a capital of the Uzbek Republic. This educational institution was one of the first higher educational institutions in Central Asia. The most educated intelligentsia of the area, who had received their higher education in the Madrasah, were involved in teaching activities of the institute, along with invited professors and teachers from other republics of theex-USSR, though mainly from the cities of Moscow, Leningrad and Kiev.
In 1930, this educational institution was renamed asHigher Pedagogical Academy. Mr. Karim Abdullaevwas the first rector of the academy during 1931-1935. Later, hewasone of the victims of Stalin's repressions. In 1933, Higher Pedagogical Academy andthe localMedical Institutewere merged and renamed asthe Uzbek State University. It became one of the largest universities in Central Asia.
In 1941, the 500thanniversary ofAlisherNavoi(poet, philosopher and statesman, who had studied at the MirzoUlugbek Madrasah duringthe 1460s) was celebrated,and Uzbek State University was renamed after him.Later in 1941, due to the outbreak of World War II, the university was closed. In 1941-1944 the University was temporarily merged with Tashkent State University.
In 1944, the Uzbek State University was restored, in line with the proposal of the rector Mr. Musa Muminov and with the support of the country's administration.
During 1944-1951,Mr. M. Muminov attracted such prominent scientists as S. Aini, U. Tursunov, I. Kukles, R. Iskandarov, I.I. Umnyakov and others.
In 1961, Uzbek State University was renamed asSamarkand State Universityand named after AlisherNavoi.
In 1992,Samarkand Pedagogical Institute named after S. Ainibecame a part ofSamarkand State University.
In 1994, Samarkand State Institute of Foreign Languages was created, on the basis of the Faculty of Foreign Languages of Samarkand State University.
In different years, dozens of major state, cultural and scientific figures, writers and poets have emerged from the university. The most famous of them wereSharafRashidov, Hamid Alimjan, Uygun, Academician Ibrahim Muminov, AcademicianYakhyaGulyamov, Muhammad Asimi, Abdullo Ghani, Mirtemir, Usman Nasyr, ManzuraSobirova, KhabibYusufi and others.

ObservatoryatSamSU continues the history of the study of astronomy, which was begun by MirzoUlugbek, who had built an observatory in Samarkand. Currently, the Scientific Research Center of Astronomy (SRCA) operates at SamSU.
SRCA has a Grubb-Parsons telescope with an optical lens of 48 m mirror, and equipped with a modern PZS camera capable of capturing the farthest objects in the universe.
According to the Blazer International Telescope Program, observations are also being made at the Maidanak Observatory, and BL-Lac objects are still monitored at a distance of 280 Mps from our planet.
In 2007, SRCA employees discovered and replaced the double-shifting star, GSC 2007:761, with a rotation period of 6.5 hours. (This was determined by the difference in the brightness of the star d = 0.05). In addition, in 2007-2011, this center successfully completed a fundamental grant project to study changes in the brightness of blazer objects. Currently, a funded grant project is being implemented to study the variability of astrophysical objects at the Samarkand and Maidanak observatories VA-FA-F2-006 for 2017-2020.
SRCA functions as an educational observatory.
