Cambridge Dream
British Management University (BMU) is now accepting applications for the upcoming academic year for both Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes. Upon enrolment, each student gains a unique opportunity to participate in the Cambridge Dream competition and win a fully funded trip to the United Kingdom. In April 2026, a group of BMU students will once again visit the prestigious academic institutions of Cambridge and Oxford. Don’t miss your chance to become part of BMU’s global community!
The application deadline is July 31, 2025.
In early April 2025, a group of BMU students travelled to the United Kingdom as part of a vibrant educational programme filled with inspiring lectures, cultural exchange, and memorable encounters. The initiative was part of BMU’s ongoing commitment to fostering international collaboration. The visit was led by BMU Rector Professor Yuri Loktionov and Vice-Rector for Research Professor Monte Saxena, Director of the Cambridge Central Asian Forum and a distinguished physicist with over 25 years at the University of Cambridge.
As part of the visit, students explored key academic and cultural landmarks in Cambridge, including the historic Cavendish Laboratory - home to more than 30 Nobel laureates - and the renowned Fitzwilliam Museum, which houses over half a million works of art spanning from antiquity to the present day.
BMU students took part in seminars, lectures, and workshops hosted by the University of Cambridge. Highlights included sessions led by renowned academics such as Professor Sian Dutton, Deputy Director of the Cavendish Laboratory; Honorary Professor of Architectural Sciences Nicholas Ray; and Dr. Temur Yunusov, a researcher at the Sainsbury Laboratory.
During a special visit to the Cambridge University Library, BMU representatives presented two significant works of Uzbek literature - Hamsa by Alisher Navoi and Odatnoma by Usmon Khosil - symbolizing the deep cultural heritage of Uzbekistan. The inclusion of these works in the library’s collection, which spans over nine million items, marked a proud moment for our students and a gesture of cultural diplomacy.
A day in London added to the richness of the educational tour. Students visited major landmarks such as Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, and the British Library. A highlight of the trip was a formal meeting with Mr. Ravshan Usmanov, Ambassador of Uzbekistan to the UK and Iceland. This session provided students with a rare opportunity to engage directly with a senior diplomat and discuss topics of mutual interest.
The group also travelled to Oxford, where they toured the city’s historic colleges and iconic locations featured in the Harry Potter films. Strolling through Oxford’s storied streets, students experienced the atmosphere of a university founded in 1096 - the oldest institution of higher learning in the English-speaking world.
The experience concluded with a scenic boat ride along the River Cam, which gave its name to the city of Cambridge, where students enjoyed captivating views of historic colleges and entertaining stories from local boaters about the rich academic traditions of the University.
Thanks to the efforts of BMU and its partners, the trip left a lasting impression on all participants. Students and their parents shared their reflections:
“A trip to England was a childhood dream come true! I still can’t believe everything I saw - England has truly won my heart,” said BMU student Roziniso Olimzhonova.
“I feel this journey positively influenced my personal and professional growth. It broadened my worldview and improved my intercultural communication skills,” added student Akbar Jalilov.
“The best memories added to my collection! I not only saw the UK with my own eyes but also formed lifelong friendships,” shared Aisel Idrisova.
“We are proud of our child’s achievement in winning the competition and visiting Cambridge. We thank the University for the safe, well-organised trip and for creating such an enriching learning experience,” said Muzaffar Kuchkarov, parent of a BMU student.
This was one of the largest student visits from Uzbekistan to both Cambridge and Oxford. British Management University is proud to offer such exceptional experiences that broaden students' intellectual and cultural horizons at globally recognised institutions.
