The foreign separate subdivision of the Belarusian National Technical University is joint with the Tajik Technical University (TTU) named after Academician M.S. Osimi (Republic of Tajikistan, Dushanbe) Faculty of Engineering and Technology (ITF) of BNTU-TTU, which began work in 2012. The legal basis for the creation of the ITF was a number of international agreements, in particular, the Agreement between the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Belarus and the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Tajikistan on cooperation in the field of education dated April 5, 2000. Article 2 of the Agreement states: “The parties will focus their efforts on the comprehensive organization of the exchange of experience in the most important areas of education, graduate students and trainees in specialties that are priority for each of the Parties. Article 3: "The parties will take measures to train and improve the skills of scientific and pedagogical personnel, conduct joint scientific research in the field of humanities, engineering and technical sciences, as well as in the field of management and financing of education." As a result of the visit of the state delegation of the Republic of Belarus to Tajikistan in October 2011, the President of the Republic of Belarus was instructed to organize the work of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology of BNTU-TTU (ITF BNTU-TTU). In 2011-2012 a number of preparatory activities were carried out: in February 2012, a TTU delegation headed by rector A.A. Abdurasulov, where the issues of the functioning of the ITF BNTU-TTU, as well as the coordination of curricula and the preparation of educational and methodological documentation in order to implement the educational process starting from the 2012/13 academic year were discussed; the Regulations on the activities of the ITF BNTU-TTU were developed, which was signed by the parties on March 2, 2012, and then approved by the Ministries of Education of both countries; an Agreement was developed and signed between BNTU and TTU on the provision of educational services at the ITF BNTU-TTU and its implementation; curricula for training specialists at the first stage of training at the ITF BNTU-TTU (1 and 2 courses) in Dushanbe were developed and agreed upon by the relevant structures of both universities. In the 2012/13 academic year, the first enrollment of 75 students for 1 course was carried out, as well as 50 students for preparatory courses. Today, ITF BNTU-TTU is an organizational and administrative structural subdivision of TTU, providing, together with BNTU, the implementation of educational and scientific activities, educational and methodological work within the framework of such educational profiles as: building and architectural, energy, mechanical engineering and metallurgy, road transport, information technology, instrumentation, economic. Education at the ITF BNTU-TTU is carried out in Russian in two stages in accordance with the integrated curricula for specialties, as well as curricula for disciplines developed by BNTU and TTU. The first stage of training is implemented in TTU on the territory of the Republic of Tajikistan and includes: 1) training at preparatory courses for citizens of the Republic of Tajikistan who do not speak Russian; 2) teaching students in the 1st and 2nd year.
